Naming Your Inner Self: A Guide to Better Self-Care

This snip is about a therapeutic exercise that involves creating characters to represent different aspects of oneself. By giving these characters names and imagining their characteristics, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their own internal conflicts and desires. The exercise helps clients explore questions such as career paths, relationships, clothing choices, and religious beliefs for each character. The goal is to develop a better relationship between these conflicting parts of oneself, rather than having them constantly at odds. A client can track and discuss the emotions and motivations of these internal characters, such as Daphne, in order to work towards restoring balance and fulfilling their needs.
