May 11, 2022 74: Jo A. revisits
🔸 Something new! Jo says check-ins aren’t happening for her. I suggest we kinda do one together, and ask her to lead. It seems to work. This is self leadership.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- The teen - chest - sad about the dog dying - needs to be held.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
my goal was to follow up on checkins, and I did. Im happy about this call

🔸 Topic: Sex. Language: NSFW. We meet at least 5 parts in this call. Robert is big into IFS. We have a chatty “about IFS “ rapport , not as structured as most sessions
🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The 16 yo. Angry, out for vengeance. Here to fuck & fight. How does he relate to the 13, 7, 18 year old parts?

May 09, 2022 72: Casey A. revisits
🔸 An 'emergency' call. Casey is so distraught, slept for one hour last night. Seems past parts work opened the lid, revealing more unhappy parts.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- protector: “we gotta get out of here” - afraid of pain of disconnect, "they all hate you, they all think you’re crazy." - wants to be a good dog, belly rubs. Not tied to a tree barking. - exile: 4 year olds - neglected feeling, no interaction. Has to save her father - needs someone to look her in he eye, listen to scary feelings, put her to bed, and give her mom some info.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
still have trouble with last stage of “ok, what’s the plan”. Like “keep checking in with this exile!” I need to find a better way to encourage that

May 02, 2022 71: Me, James revisits
🔸 Molly's first time as practitioner! And I brought a not-easy one to her. We do a debrief at the end.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- go spend money part - Behind me, pushing off the diving board - afraid I’ll miss out on life - rather be making a wish list - thinks I’m a teen or twenties? - needs me to do regular practice. Weekly wish list making

April 30, 2022 70: Molly A. revisits
🔸 Clearly Molly does her homework! We dive in with the part that slices in w guilt whenever she’s having fun.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- "Your family had it rough, who do you think you are, having fun?"
- core. Belly, right down the middle
- fear of losing the memories, losing lessons, disrespecting family struggle
- rather be honoring it all, the good and bad
- age: 20 years older than molly
- needs to journal. To write a letter to her, to memorialize

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
She makes it so easy, I try to just not talk too much.

April 28, 2022 69: Jo A. revisits
🔸 Jo gets the know a numbing part, and unburdens the depressed part it protects.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
the depressed part has spent so much time in the dark. seems like a 12yo. wants to go to the lake house and be free, joyful

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I was working on specific responses to protector fears that I studied this morning. But when it came up I stumbled.

April 27, 2022 68: Parker A. - first call
🔸 With an IFS therapist for months, but no exile unburdening… we talk to the part that is angry at his therapist. Most callers don’t have a baseline of work with other IFS practitioners to compare. I'm excited to get feedback!

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- angry at therapist, distrustful of women - tightness in the jaw, a scowl, eyes rolled back - afraid of being judged, unwelcome in a tribe or relationship - rather be using its strength as confidence - thinks he is 13 - needs him to heal that exile!

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
When he said he didn’t like x,y,z phrases and approaches from practitioner, part of me thought I was doomed. Do I throw mine out? Modify? Lean in and find out why? How can I be authentic? I decided to just trust that I would navigate it, keep it in mind. How'd I do?

April 25, 2022 67: Casey A. revisits
🔸 The tired part relaxes, the “you fuck up part” shows up. We get to an exile and do some unburdening.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- behind eyes, throat, cheat
- afraid it won’t be safe, will be thought of as stupid
- relaxing by the pool, taking in the details of the flowers.
- thinks shes 28.
we then go to exile - a boy, 6 or 8, and maybe a teen... and he has a companion too

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Judging by her affect, I think a scared part kept showing. I wish I stopped and addressed it. Although, sometimes I do that and go too far off the rails so. What do you think?

April 21, 2022 66: Richard A. - first call
🔸 Richard knows this part, and has experience with somatic therapy, but not working with an IFS practitioner. (Though we did a session a few weeks prior via text!). This is a textbook convo, just meaning I don’t deviate from the script, and he responds in the most typical way. And that’s not to take away from the insight or depth, I think it added to it.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- Like metal cubes, nagging him to fit in, be as expected
- upper mid back
- afraid of dirty looks, of not being enough, not whole, not bein loved
- rather be researching, discerning the outside world, enjoying
- Thinks he’s 2 or 3
- love and acceptance

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I spent an extra 10 minutes preparing for this call, energetically. I keep having to relearn how important that is.

April 19, 2022 65: Molly A. revisits
🔸 Molly's moving quickly, consistently meeting and working with parts on her own.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- Anxious, lonely, codependent, - in head and throat and chest - afraid molly won’t lead right, wants external validation - young - needs to be listened to more

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I was working on following up from last week. Then didn’t. And just felt off today. But I did 30 mins of prep.
