Episode notes
Mind As Multiple Parts
- Parts work frames the mind as multiple sub-personalities, each with its own needs and strategies.
- Learning these parts lets you understand inner conflicts and integrate them into healthier behavior.
You Are Not Your Impulses
- You are not your parts; you are the Self distinct from impulses like anger or laziness.
- Viewing impulses as parts reduces their grip and creates freedom to choose different actions.
All Parts Have Positive Intent
- Every part has a positive intent, even anger or criticism, aiming to protect or help you.
- Recognizing positive intent allows compassion and opens space for better strategies.
