"Now may the God of peace sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit (pneuma), soul (psyche) and body (soma) be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:23 So, the "you" that is "complete(ly)" sanctified -- that is, the whole or complete you (any part without which you are not completely you) -- is made up of spirit, soul, and body. I don't know what she's getting at in the context of her whole speech, but I don't know if all Christians only count 2 parts... usually it's 3.
The entirety of one’s person, what a man consists of, is first described in the creation account. ”And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul” (Gen. 2:7). Thus, the body made of dust became a “living soul” when infused with the breath of God, the same three components mentioned by Paul. These three components are not mutually exclusive, as many infer, but are those mentioned by Moses in his description of the creation of man. The same process described in Genesis 2:7 will be repeated for each one in the resurrection.

@@ThePristineFaith Of course.
But I don't think anyone infers they're mutually exclusive. Nobody openly teaches that at least...
