  • 34: Shecoya A. revisits

    🔸 She's back! I'm a little covid-y in this one. If the ending seems more awkward than usual, it's because we decided to talk non-IFS stuff, so that was cut out.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The resentful part. It starts with what she sees but feels like it’s in her hands. - it’s afraid that if she doesn’t share things with someone, they'll forgotten. It’s tired of starting over. - it would rather be positive, and see her doing more yoga and hula hooping and moving out of this neighborhood - it needs her to plan this stuff

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was working on more efficient targeting. I almost laughed from how easy she made that. I’m still stumbling over the question "if you could heal or change this..." if the thing we’re talking about is not a part, but an external thing in the world. Still a useful question perhaps, but feels more coachyy than IFS-y.

  • 33: Aizhan A. - first call

    🔸 Aizhan is in Kazakhstan (and perhaps the first subscriber to the podcast!) The time difference presents some challenges. And I forgot to write a description of this call after recording it.

  • 32: Zoe A. revisits

    🔸 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.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The part that tells her it’s silly to feel not good enough to do art - in the head, heavy - fears letting her be vulnerable - rather be helping her to do art! - needs patience.

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was determined not to go into scared/exile place in beginning, and did a lot of practice around that, it’s still one of my biggest challenges. Finding the target part and not going too deep too fast. These are the calls I can learn most from.

  • 31: Will A. revisits

    🔸 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


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - Parts don’t trust of the self. - first the numbing part, bt then anger - Feels like it’s in the head - afraid of the numbing - would rather be helping him build confidence - doesn’t know his age

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    Just in general to remain in my own self energy I learned a lot from this call because I think I made a mistake, going forward while Will was experiencing a sadness (not the target part). I wish I called attention to it sooner. When I did, it felt right for me, and was a relief for him. Still working on keeping things in Question-format. A big part of me wants to run around shouting the good news to everyone: “you can do it!!”. Tough to balance!

  • 30: Will A. - first call

    🔸 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.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - An older part named Will, who seems to have something to do with this pain in the chest. - He's afraid if he doesn't act as shield or freeze, they'll be hurt. - He'd rather be playing, loving, and protecting and a positive way - Thinks Will (caller) is 10 - Needs to be acknowledged, and to know he's not out of a job!

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I was working on getting very clear on target part, because sometimes I stumble past that, or feel I am too suggesting of it. I was able to explain that to him not wanting to start w 3 year old part, but yielded to his decision to. I think it went well, and when I was unsure, I felt ok about 1. pointing that out and 2. putting it into a question, letting him lead.

  • 29: Jen A. - first call

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


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The outgoing, need to connect part - Heart, jaw, stomach - Fear of being alone - Rather be creative, and allow her to just be - Age: teens - Needs to be listened to

  • 28: Jo A. revisits

    🔸 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.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - depressed lay on couch, despondent, like mother.
    - it's afraid of her father. afraid of the whole world being so difficult
    - rather be going to amusement park going on a roller coaster, singing dancing… Being around people
    - needs Jo to spend more time with it and to protect her. had a nice conversation about how the weed part was getting in the way

  • 27: Zoe A. - first call

    🔸 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.


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - Scared Inner child. And the part telling her to grow up. - Grow up part is above her - Its afraid she will go out and be hurt, shes too vulnerable - Thinks shes 7-8 - Needs reasurrance

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I talk too much. not enough questions, not enough trusting the process. I'm hiring an expert whom I can ask questions from this call, and other tough calls.

  • 26: Angela A. revisits

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


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    - The part that wants to withdraw from everyone and everything - It is in the throat like something hard to swallow - It’s afraid if it doesn’t withdraw, she will be broken. - It is a teenager - He would rather be looking out appropriately. - It needs her to check in and it needs her to acknowledge it and validate it…

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I’m having trouble confirming visuals, I’m not asking the right questions. I’m guessing. I think I have a reluctance around "putting them on the spot", to make it real when it's still morphing, revealing itself. When she mentioned a scared child part I thought "exile". Had I asked more questions about that, I would have found out it was a teenager.

  • 25: Angela A. - first call

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


    🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):
    Angela has a part that wants to reach out to her ex on the anniversary of their still-birth. And another part telling her no, thats not ok, that this feeling needs to be eradicated. Its in her stomach its afraid she will get conned again. And that if she feels this, she'll feel everything and be overwhelmed. It softened up. It wants to protect her all over, not just in this little focused part. it thinks shes 12... it needs space. its needs to be alllowed to live

    🎓 What I'd like to do differently:
    I had a headache. Self care, gotta do it
