WOW. What a great episode. Phil de la Haye is back with his in-depth teaching of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Today we follow up on our previous episode to really deepen your understanding of this amazing transformation work. I am planning to do it myself. Although there are no bad parts (!) there are a lot of really protective aspects of our personalities that contribute greatly to TMS. Join us today as we discuss the many ways to know ourselves, and walk through concrete exercises that really move the needle. xoxo n.
As promised in the ep, here are the questions we posed to the protective part when journalling after a target part has been identified:
(Go slow, pause, close your eyes and wait to see if an answer arises. Try and make it a gentle inquiry rather than an inquisition).
What do you want me to know about you?
What else? (you can ask this as many times as you like)
How are you trying to help me?
what is your job/role?
Are there parts of my body where you hang out?
When did you take on this job?
What was going on for me back then?
How old are you?
How old do you think I am?
Do you like your job?
If yes: is there a downside to it?
Is what you’re doing working?
What are you afraid would happen if you stopped doing this?
Are you willing to tell me about the part/s you’re protecting?
What do you need from me?
How can I collaborate with you?
Do other parts give you a hard time?
Do other people give you a hard time?
Is there anything else you want me to know about you and what you do for me?
