Bill Barr?! That’s so fascinating. I’m glad you are finding your parts and can sit with them!

One of the many lovely ideas in the IFS model is that there is another you, at your core, which isn’t a part. That you is warm, loving, kind, compassionate, strong, calm and deeply healing, if we can access its nourishing energy. And this is your Self. 💓

It is a little like that! It’s a very powerful way to heal the root causes of your pain.

Some people just call them protectors and don’t distinguish between those typically referred to as managers and firefighters. You can come up with your own creative name! If you do, let me know what feels good to you!

That’s just part of you that thinks you’re bad at it. It’s not YOU. That’s what is so powerful about IFS. You can go as slow or as fast as your parts will let you. But your self energy is always there and you can learn to let it lead after awhile. Then it sometimes goes much faster!

Your Self can never be fractured. The parts that feel that way are other parts that need your attention, that’s all. They are begging you to hear what they have to say and to take away the burdens they carry. You have exiles inside you that they are protecting. And they have been working so hard!

That’s called polarization and is totally normal!! There are ways to start to get some space between parts so they can tell your self what they need and what they would like to let go of. It can take a bit of time but don’t give up!!!

Ohh I love this perspective!

My clients struggle with knowing what it feels to be in Self Energy. So many other parts start to feel like YOU. But you can quickly get a little glimmer by closing your eyes and imagining a glowing light in your chest. Notice. Pay attention to how you feel.

It’s life changing when you find out what your protector parts are afraid of, and how you can help them release the burdens they carry. It allows your SELF energy to lead you. Think flow state. Ease. Curiosity. Creativity. This is what being a business owner can feel like! #ifs #business

We have multiple parts, not personalities. I wonder how much research you did and what your sources are for this article if you don’t understand this core difference. But it gets you clicks so maybe that’s what you actually want?

*label not leave!

Oh-I also don’t tend to leave my parts by the feelings they carry. I name them (it feels like they name themselves, actually) around their jobs. For example my parts are: General Manager. Justice. Strategy. Money. Friendship. Mine carry those feelings as burdens. But everyone’s parts are different!

That’s a good question! In my system, only the exiles have integrated together. My protector parts seem to really like their autonomy :-). But when my exiles have integrated, I’ve found it was really just another part of an exile that needed to be seen/heard/validated.

I didn’t read the article but the headline is enough to make some parts of me really mad, frustrated, and sad. It’s so powerful and it works quickly for me. I hate to think anyone would be turned off by an article like this. Mental health treatments are not a one size fits all! #IFS

I also went on a more spiritual path where I learned to ask my spirit guides, ancestors, and Faeries for guidance. Ultimately, I landed on #IFS because I wanted to heal faster. You might have a pretty loud protector part that needs some attention before it’ll let you heal. That’s ok! Experiment. 💖

Sure. You can heal from whatever it is that is challenging you to have a peaceful, wholehearted life. There are many different ways to do this. For me, it’s important to find the right tool. Some start with what they are eating and adding supplements. Others start journaling. I did the artist’s Way…

Parts work is so powerful! I appreciate how each of your parts have learned to trust your Self energy. 💖

I have three total and any other ones I find tend to integrate with one of these three: Little Megan, age about 4. She just colors and plays all the time. Soft Megan, about 12. Loves to cuddle and is sweet and kind. And Little Business Megan, about 14 who loves business stuff and sees it as play.

Sometimes they just zip together in a quick integration, and sometimes they stay separate. Each part needs something different and when they learn to trust your Self they will do what’s right for them. Congrats on great first session!

A business led by Self-Energy is one that serves not just profits, but purpose. What is your purpose? How might #IFS help you find it?

Sounds like some people that see their Self as a God are actually hearing from a Self-like part that thinks it’s Self. I have one, too! But my Self Energy doesn’t need to feel important or in charge. It is happy to lead with curiosity and creativity.

#IFS is the single most useful “self-help” I’ve ever done. It treats the roots of my challenges and pain, not the symptoms. I’ve been studying for over a year and a half and now I’m ready to help others uncover parts of themselves that impact their life and/or business. It’s all connected!

Maybe tell that part you appreciate all it’s done to help you and keep you safe this whole time. That you appreciate it and welcome it. And..if it didn’t have to do the job it has now, what else would it like to do? Maybe help it release what it is holding to air, fire, water, or any other way.

This is what #IFS does for me…it creates space inside for all my parts to find new jobs. Only your parts know if it’s a stress response but I’m going to say that hope for the future is probably more what has happened. And you are maybe so not used to that feeling that a part can’t believe it?

Now that I understand how we have all sorts of parts inside us, I see them in everyone I meet. This has made me more kind and patient. It also has made me want everyone to experience #ifs so maybe they will be more kind and patient, too.

#IFS is such a powerful tool in my daily life. My Self energy has started having “team-meetings” when I’m going into a meeting where we don’t all trust the people in the room. I find that I bring my best self to those encounters after all my protector parts feel seen and heard.

It’s heartbreaking. I visited Taiwan in January so I could see it and meet its people before stupid small penis men start stupid shit.
