Episode notes

Parts that seem hostile, such as those related to eating disorders or even those who have committed heinous acts, have value when explored with curiosity. Despite challenging upbringing or experiences, the core self remains undamaged, contrary to traditional psychology beliefs. The concept mirrors spiritual traditions like Buddha nature, Atman in Hinduism, or Christ consciousness and can be accessed quickly. By focusing on understanding and befriending the parts, individuals can reconnect with their true self, allowing for healing and growth.
