April 17, 2022 64: Jo A. revisits
🔸 Part: "hurry up, no time for parts check-ins." But then we meet the starving prisoner, and do a nice unburdening. Sorry about call quality, I'm driving.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- in prison and seem to be starving laying on the floor but once Joe started talking to it.… - It revealed that yes it had just been kind of starving for her attention, affection - thinks Jo is 12 years old

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
the beginning, insisting on circling back to the part we talked to last, because I heard Dick Schwartz saying that he does that. And I’m really glad I did. wishing I trusted my judgment on that along time ago…

🔸 This is self connecting with parts!

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
Multiple parts. - The ones that want to immigrate. - The ones that want to stay and fight. - And the ones that are still so sad about a lost friendship

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
a lot I could do better. It’s hard with time zones, language barrier, culture barrier, and even just time delay of device. But it’s coming along

April 13, 2022 62: Sonya A. - first call
🔸 A lively convo. Sonya knows this dictator part all too well. I get into some explaining, as this part is very no-nonsense and has little trust in being led by self.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The Dictator. - Tension in the neck, head, shoulders, everywhere - Fear that the whole system is doomed, psychotic, irrational - Rather be relaxing - Thinks she is 5 or 10. - Needs a rational approach.

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I was working on connecting pre-call. I wish I was a little more prepared for parts that are this dominant / stubborn. I think we made headway, but I was a little on edge, thinking I would lose her any minute.

April 09, 2022 61: Casey A. - first call
🔸 Casey is a friend. A compulsive-eating part won’t speak, then vanishes entirely. Perservering, she finds something miraculous. We laughed! We cried!

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- The grasping, frantic part compelled to eat, it takes over. The Tasmanian devil - Afraid she will die. Won’t have fun. - rather be exploring, out meeting people, time without kids - thinks she’s 4? (maybe a different part said that) - needs to be listened to and brainstorm fun stuff

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
I had concerns I might be distracted because Casey and I have known each other outside of IFS for a couple years. A part of me wanted to over-prepare, to really really get this one right. Plus we recorded in the morning when my energy is usually buzziest. Fortunately today was “bring your inner 4 year old to work day” for me, so I thanked those protector parts and instead focused on fun and comfort when preparing.

April 03, 2022 60: Molly A. revisits
🔸 Minds blown! This call has it all. She thought the part was her! And I love hearing that she's doing the work with the 6-year-old.

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- The militant, the mountain, the wall. black and white, director of all decisions.
- spine, ever present
- afraid of other parts taking over, no safety
- rather be reading a book
- thinks She’s 12
- needs decisions to be in alignment, healing all parts

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
If it sounds like I was half asleep, I kinda was. Two nights of not good sleep... My goals were to follow up on last week without pushing, and to stay loose. Did.

🔸 Efficient! Fear around feeling so good!

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- afraid part, teen
- afraid Of going back in the world, facing rejection, depression
- dancing
- needs jo to be on the lookout Re: trusting too quickly and giving away too much

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
Today I wanted to shake things up with Jo, and make sure to check in with her about what we might do differently, how it's working for her, and I promised myself that if I was feeling stuck, I would just let her know. Awkward perhaps, but mission accomplished!

March 30, 2022 58: Me, James revisits
🔸 I'm very surprised to go to this place so fast. You can hear my energy shift when I realize the exile. Unburdened!

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
The part that keeps me from reaching out! And the one it protects…
- solar plexus, feels bottled up
- afraid of not being seen, requests being lost
- rather be exploring w my self. Holding hands
- Age 4 - needs me to explore more, to hold its hand, and to be that person when it’s time to reach out. To take that burden off the busy part's endless task list, and prioritize it like I would for any other 4 year old.

March 28, 2022 57: Aizhan A. revisits
🔸 A new approach - we're meeting at not-around-midnight for Aizhan. Parts from past calls still came up, but she has more Self energy to stay with each and get to know it better. I’m learning how they show up, in what order, and why. Yes, tired part, there’s lots to be done, I think we’re up for it.

March 24, 2022 55: Aizhan A. revisits
🔸 Tension here! She's losing trust in me (or a part is). Are parts of mine reacting?

🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
- Sadness, anger, inadequacy, the rational part, the numbing part, the "tired of therapy" part…

🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
My aim was to target target target. I think, in the last minute of the call, we did that.
