  • 44: Me, James revisits

    🔸 Jo is Practitioner! I'm still nervous, but the session is smoother. A familiar exile (fear of success?) shows up, and I vow to go straight for it.. Next time.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - the part that shrugs its shoulders about prioritizing a project "fix back pain". - It's too busy, doesn't have the info, nor the permission to concentrate - Age ~28-30, apprx when i started getting serious about prioritizing projects.

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    From now on I will use bookmarks!

  • 43: Aizhan A. revisits

    🔸 Not an IFS session, this is what it looks like when we decide not to do IFS. We're both early risers, and because our time zones are 11 hours apart, we're going past-bedtime.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The part longing for connection… - And the sleepy part!

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was practicing using bookmarks from last time. Maybe I need to practice *not* connecting so much with some people. Because if we talk about the project and the community for 45 minutes, well this is the result

  • 42: Alinda A. revisits

    🔸 Powerful. She's new to IFS, she's in tears, and still the intuition is there, Self knows how to heal. We meet the part that is not ready to allow grieving.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - tightness in shoulders, neck. - afraid of going back to dark, broken place. Afraid of the secret, that Alinda won’t be able to love - rather be reminding her of her progress - needs To see the self care and the reminders of how hard the fight was.

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I skipped some of the basic connecting in our first call (that part of the call is never published, fyi). I called attention to it, we did it this time, and I think it really benefited both.

  • 41: Lisa A. - first call

    🔸 A fast paced first-call. Fun! We meet a protector and its exile, dealing with the pain of being alone.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The part is frustrated. It’s in the head, behind the left eye, and in the throat. - It’s afraid that it’s the only one running the show, and the other parts aren’t doing their job. - It’s afaid of Lisa being lonely, sleeping alone for the rest of her life by not finding relationships. It’s afraid of not having the independence needed to choose best relationships - it would rather be helping set the course, the vision, - it needs the other parts to do their part. It needs the vulnerability healed

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was working on connecting more before the session. I pre-paired some questions and found something for us both to smile about. But maybe I got lucky because she made it easy In the future, with Lisa, I may bring attention to the analyzing part.

  • 40: Alinda A. - first call

    🔸 Alinda is ready to meet younger parts, but it's our first call, so I’m being cautious & insisting that we spend some time with protectors. There are some tears, but I think we did great! And maybe I finally did the right thing w that upfront presenting fear!


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - A crushing feeling in chest, avoiding the work - afraid she will learn too much, not be able to handle it - rather be helping her handle it! - thinks she’s 6 - needs her to be more forgiving of self

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I wanted to work on being warm & connecting during our chat before the session. But i did a bad job of it. It's hard starting w little info (for both parties).

  • 39: Me, James - first call

    🔸 Jo is practitioner! I'm nervous! How much should I share on the pod? How much should I guide Jo? It's a lot to think about. This was recorded in August '21. James-as-client calls sat on the shelf longer than most.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - the sneaky, do anything to get out of work part. sorta 5 year old, sorta teen, 22 year old... - he has his back turned - hes afraid i will literally gather dust, if life is so boring - he wants BIG fun. and more exercise - hes 22 or so We decided to brainstorm big fun, something more wholesome and less dangerous than what I used to call fun. Committed to make that separate project from "Self care" kind of stuff.

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    starts after 55 mins

  • 38: Jo A. revisits

    🔸 Jo meets the battered woman, the grandmother, who can only clean and clean and hope to not be battered! We set her free! I'm short on time on this one, but still a good call.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The pain in the stomach for the part that feels something in the stomach - The exile was a young person in a cage. Not very responsive. But Jo knows what to do. - This exile had experienced some terror and needed to vomit

  • 37: Will A. revisits

    🔸 NOT an IFS session, instead we talked *about* IFS, & how to check in. I give some instruction. The First half of call is just hearing from him, how he’s doing. He sounds great!


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


    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    Experimented with a new breathing exercise to relax before call. I think was effective. Will try 2x next time.

  • 36: Aizhan A. revisits

    🔸 We get more targeted this time. Aizhan goes to an exile to be with it in the way it seemed to need. We discuss changing external circumstances. At the end we talk a little bit about my personal practice and how we can work more together!


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - Tension, pounding in the heart - longing for community, connection - would rather be exploring - needs Aizhan to keep listening, and maybe change external circumstances

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was working on targeting, getting clear there. But she made too easy! I was concerned she might experience too much fear, so I kept checking in with her "is this is too much? how do you feel experiencing all this?" I think it went very well

  • 35: Jo A. revisits

    🔸 We start with a 15 year old, learn about a 10 year, and finally find the curled up 3 year old. Exile: Unburdened. I'm a little lost in the beginning feel like our handling of the exile was textbook. Helps having worked together so much!


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - 3 year old. - Hiding, like curled up under bench - fear of father, feeling like can’t do anything right - needs to scream it out
