In this episode, Marty interviews Bill about his writing and upcoming publications. Bill explains the Parts Work Guidebook, a practical IFS-based workbook with 23 exercises and tools like a self-energy access scale, created over four years with co-authors Alison Dyer, Morgan Monte, Noga Kreiman, Islena Faircrest, and supported by the Parts Work Practice community; the Kindle version is slated for mid-February 2026, with print to follow and a second edition in progress. He recounts how the COVID-era Zoom practice group grew rapidly, requiring trained facilitators and a volunteer team, and how collaboration brought both conflict and repair
