🔸 I'm nervous because I think I did a bad job the first time we talked. It helped that I expressed that to her pre-recording.

🔸 Parts + parts + parts. We start with the target: a numbing part. But others won't step back. We go through the process with a different part, but another is present… We get to a joyful place in the end

🔸 Will is not entirely new to IFS. His parts have names already. I'm hesitant to work with the 3 year old at first, so we spent some time picking a target. Ended up with his protector after all.

🔸 Is this outgoing part a firefighter? No trouble tapping-in, always interesting when working with someone for the first time.

🔸 Understanding the weed smoking part, protecting her from the depressed, lay on the couch part. We get to know them both and the external family they may be connected to.

🔸 I'm a little shook, feeling out of my depth here. Zoe presents with wanting to know an inner child. This one sent me back to the drawing board. #1: do no harm.

🔸 There is a scared child in there. Our 2nd call, we go deeper, but still building trust.

🔸 An analyzing part has a good deal of input, but we'll talk again and I'll be better prepared for it : )

🔸 Great for a first call, I direct us toward the protector instead of the exile. Worst audio quality but it improves dramatically after the first ~25 episodes. Thanks for your patience

🔸 I make assumptions and push my point too much. Sorry, Fernando!
