  • 171: Rosie A. revisits

    🔸 It's good.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

    • "Too much me, too much need." Badness. Yearning for heartfelt connection.

    • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
      I think I pulled us off-track at least a couple times. Maybe I was having too much fun!

    • 170: Jo A. revisits

      🔸 Layers. A part shows up as two. The 25 year old and the 3 year old. 3 year old tells us more fears, we witness more than ever before. Guilt of “you’re making this up”, shame of “it felt good”, and “neighbor girl being sexual”.


      🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
      I'm on half-power today. Poor sleep, a hectic morning. Thankfully Jo picked up a lot of my slack.

    • 169: Daniel A. revisits

      🔸 After negotiating with multiple protectors, Daniel makes contact with the exile. My prediction from last time seems to be bearing out. I believe he's well-calibrated, so I stay quiet to avoid pulling him off course.


      🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

      • The Loving & Strict Father says "you ARE worthy, don't waste you're time validating those feelings of worthlessness"
      • The Fear of Pain thinks he's 5
      • Grief for not doing it sooner
      • Anger and fear of it getting out of control
      • Caretaking, giving hugs
      • The Exile: (judging as?) Worthlessness

      • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
        A logistical challenge: I feel tied to the microphone. When I have some physical pain creeping in, I haven't felt free to pause, get up, walk it off, as I would under any other circumstance. 

        My "obsessed with audio quality" part has always been a hindrance to this project, I can point to several occasions of it giving rise to the opposite of its intent. I'm changing my setup now and daring to extend the same grace that I offer callers to myself: James, what matters most is that you are comfortable.

      • 168: Rachel A. revisits

        🔸 "She had everything she needed... except love". We revisit the part from last time, or one related; a possessive part, not wanting to share (friends).  Lots of contact and receiving images, but story-telling, judgement, & numbing are standing gaurd.


        🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

        • Teen
        • Throat
        • Thinks she's in high school or 20

        • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
          Maybe we are moving too fast. Rachel wants to meet 2x week, perhaps a manager wanting to fix it all asap. I'm concerned she may risk being overwhelmed. Even in the best case scenario, if all her work is steady, going to a multiple exiles per week may be too much.

        • 167: Aandraya A. revisits

          🔸 The migraines went away! Then came back... We go to the exile behind this angry protector, and to that disastrous night it all started.


          🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

          • The exile, the 8 year old. Sad, lonely, confused, panicking.
          • Needs someone to talk to her parents and teachers. Needs what they all need.

          • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
            I got a little stuck on "how to check in", again wanting to avoid being too directive. Also because I'm feeling so confident, seeing Aandraya's dedication.

          • 166: Curtis A. revisits

            🔸 “Are you gonna take care of me?” The heavy, responsible part holds everything up by holding others down. We find an infant and get to unburdening.


            🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

            • Heavy responsible
            • Head, neck, shoulders
            • Fears abandonment
            • Rather be outwardly energetic, productive
            • The exile is less than 2

            • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
              I heard a lot of “I thinks” and was concerned we were skipping over the witnessing, so I stayed on it for a while, but also figured if the exile is under 2, it would make sense that it doesn’t have much of a story to tell, just wants to be held and loved.

              🔸 The room full of babies, we dive straight in and do some unburdening.


              🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
              Time will tell

            • 164: Daniel A. revisits

              🔸 Daniel is all in. He's developed the habit of regular parts work, is cataloging them all, deciding who to go to next. I'm deadweight!

            • 163: Rachel A. revisits

              🔸 That exile is still happy! (Though a part wants to feed her answers). We do half an unburdening with the lonely tween.


              🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

              • The lonely tween, boy trouble. "Not worth knowing" and "feeling sorry for myself"

              • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
                Im encouraged by this success and Rachel’s pace. She has been doing 2 sessions per week with me, so I'm hitting the gas too. But, maybe that's causing me to make mistakes (she shut down when I pushed us to an uncontracted part).

                 I think I was paying in the second half of the call for my haste in the first half, that’s why I was kinda freezing up. I'm overwhelmed by too many parts, she’s blended, we're talking late late at night. Lots for me to improve on here.

                And lots to celebrate: the massive win of the unburdening sticking with the 5 year old. If we keep the pace of an exile unburdened every couple calls, that would be huge.

              • 162: Aandraya A. revisits

                🔸 Work with the overachiever seems to have paid off. Now we meet the cause of the migraines. 

                **Aandraya texted me 5 days after our call: migraine-free ever since!

                *** Sorry about the audio. Both recording devices malfunctioned!


                🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

                • The angry part
                • Head, neck shoulders
                • Afraid of being pushed around, of being absent from personality
                • Thinks she's 8-10
                • Needs to be acknowledged

                • 🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
                  We're having fun, and I'm excited about the opportunity to collect some hard data re: the migraines. She acknowledged having a part that wants to tell the story (to friends, etc); I've been patient with it, but in future I intend to be more insistent that it step back, and let her be with parts.
