242: Jovan A. - first call

1 hour 16 minutes

🔸 IFS 101: (a.) Meeting a protector. (b.) Q&A, glimpses of most welcome parts.

Jovan is new to IFS, but not the landscape. Diagnosed w ADHD and suspects Autism.

🔹 Parts:

P: Don't show interest. Shut up. Keep it to yourself. Or else:

E: I'd be seen. Judged & overwhelmed. Age 9?

Protector thinks he's 17, stressful time. In tension with "Put yourself out there!" protector?

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
While introducing ourselves, we discovered we know some of the same people. A pleasant surprise, but also a background distraction for me, my parts busied by social calculations.

I enjoyed being challenged by the questions, I would like to be able to "explain" IFS as well as practice it. I have some work to do there. Or maybe not. Maybe I should defer to the spokespeople and teachers for that, and just stick to practicing.
