November 26, 2022 149: Daniel A. revisits
🔸 The anger and the anxiety. We let them play.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I told Daniel it would be fine for him to be late to our meeting, having forgotten that I had a pro scheduled to record right after. I was alerted to that mid-call, and it destroyed my focus. That's why I just kept deferring to him. If you're there, you got this.

November 24, 2022148: Rosie A. revisits
🔸 Figuring out figuring out. An attempt at direct access.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The figuring out part, the others. see notes.

Uncomfortable with meditation

Set up to fail

Blanking

Fear of hurting others

Rejection
⬥ Rosie shared her parts list:
Exile:
Alone cuz me part

Sad/lonely/shame/terrified because

bad/difficult/burden/problem/wrong/misunderstood
Managers/Parts trying to get it right:
Figure it out, the manager

Articulate one

Caretaker

Smiley/Laughing Girl

Don’t know what I’m doing so freeze part

Rational teenager

Blank one

Push through part
Firefighters/Parts coping with having gotten it wrong:
Shut down/sullen one

trying not to need anything

emotional withdrawer

Growler “back off I can’t do/be better!”

Figure it out, the firefighter

The empathizer

Talks me out of my feelings

The fixer - emotional pursuer

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Direct access, not something I feel very confident with, although I think I do it implicitly with more ease.
Loving these calls with Rosie; I feel I'm at my growth edge, she's patient with me, and has enough experience around this work to have already tried whatever approach comes to me first.
We chat a lot outside of these sessions, trying to understand what each of us can change to make our work more effective.
I was full of assumptions in this call, my own figuring out parts. Maybe I identify with her too much? I make (too many) comments, in my own attempt to identify with figuring out. Is that building trust, making parts feel comfortable? Or is that blending?

November 22, 2022 147: Rachel A. revisits
🔸 Rachel is overwhelmed. We talk to anger, and circle exiles. I introduce the "self like" caregiver concept.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Just using my judgement about going ahead vs not. I suggested we go for "angry" even though she brought up "scared" first. It seemed like the more protective of the two.

November 20, 2022146: Ian A. revisits
🔸 Recent public speaking is stressing Ian's system. We perform an exorcism.
(kidding!)

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The domineering angry lecturer at the podium

Afraid others will fail if they don't get the message

Rather be enjoying natural conversation

Thinks Ian is 34 (older than real age). Sees lots of ages in audience of subjects

Needs a friend

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I'm feeling unusually calm and clear-headed, need to figure out how to repeat that. This call was later in the evening than usual and I'm on day two of a fast. Hope I don't have to choose between doing good work and eating.
The journey seemed not-so-unblended, we could have spent more time on that, but Ian has been doing IFS for a while and keeps coming back to it, I feel confident he's not getting lost.
I said "followup with parts is so important" with last call, and chose not to today. It was intentional, not sure I can explain why.

November 18, 2022145: Jo A. revisits
🔸 A failed drug test provides a nice opportunity for parts work. We go straight to a 15 year old exile.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
Sad being excluded from community

age 15

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I'm sick today. IFS helps

November 16, 2022 144: Luke A. revisits
🔸 Now what?

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I had to keep attending to my own sad part: "Well, guess you don't need me anymore". More importantly, for me, is recognizing that this is also my frontier, I genuinely don't know what's next. But that's not anxiety, that's me.

November 14, 2022143: Daniel A. - first call
🔸 "Just being compassionate turned this little kid completely around." Daniel is relatively new to IFS. We meet lots of parts.

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

Right shoulder

Afraid of being a loser on the street, aka worthlessness

Needs to do more IFS

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Improve how I deal with explainer/analyzer parts. Sometimes I just let them run and then shut down so as not to react from irritation. But with a first time caller, I don't want to be too pushy.

November 12, 2022142: Brandon A. revisits
🔸 The twelve year old feels lost in space, the drive to fill it protects, the organizer responds.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The judge of that ball of energy.

Fears being scatterbrained, and its social consequences

Rather be organizing, integrating

Needs to be listened to!

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
(I mention watching the clock as Brandon typically calls from work on his lunch break, not because I'm trying to get rid of him.)
I asked ""feel towards?"" repeatedly and never quite got a Self-sounding answer. Should that be my cue to shift into direct access? My hesitance is due in part to Brandon's facility with communicating with parts. Sometimes it's months between our sessions, the added time makes me default to don't-push, but maybe I should change that. He loves IFS and can go deep so quickly, but we haven't quite unburdened exiles in the usual way.

Percy is a Harvard-Trained Psychiatrist, IFS Psychotherapist, and soon to be sex and relationship coach.

His work with Psych Garden includes Psychedelic / Ketamine-Assisted therapies, though he believes many medications are overrated when compared to quality talk therapy. He cofounded Implicit Bias from the Outside-In, and worked with Black Therapists Rock, Fathers Uplift, and the IFS Collaborative.

He has a first degree black belt in Karate and extensive experience with Indo-Tibetan meditation.

November 06, 2022 141: Rachel A. revisits
🔸 Worthlessness leads to anger leads leads to tears. We're covering a lot of ground, and contacting an exile, though parts blend with each other and Self.

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

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Through much of this call I was pulled between teaching, yielding, and going forward. That first-time targeting of an exile may be the trickiest of all.
