Quotes:

“Notice and try to get in touch with what Part bumped you out of staying with me. What Parts still don't feel like it's safe to be in stillness, to give yourself some time to be held, to be nourished, to be inspired, to be supported, to be motivated.” — Tanner  [08:05]

“The first time I was integrating elemental medicine into my Parts Work, I felt so stupid. I felt like I was pretending. I felt like I was performing. It just felt so awkward.” — Tanner  [22:12] 

“As I stuck with it, and I continued to try it, I then released myself from it having to look the way that I'd seen other people do it. And I started to just do it the way that truly resonated with me. And then it started to become more authentic.” — Tanner  [22:28]

“It helps to be exposed to a lot of different ways of connecting with Source Energy. So that you can pick and choose from different mentors, different examples, what really lands and has resonance in your experience.” — Tanner  [23:12]

“If you don't embrace the novelty and get past the awkward, ‘this is ridiculous’ stage, you won't come to discover what Medicine is truly meant to be yours.” — Tanner  [23:41]

“We're all one system that has been fragmented, and some parts may not realize that they're you fragmented off, and the sooner your system can realize that you're all one entity under your leadership, the sooner massive Unburdening can happen.” — Tanner  [26:11]

“This is a community. We are building a new paradigm of CPTSD recovery that when the next human discovers they have CPTSD they don't go online and have no resources to turn to.” — Tanner  [39:10]
