I love this thank you Conor ❤️ It's amazing how much difference just a few minutes can make. I wake up anxious alot and I feel alot calmer now. It reminds me of somatic tracking too, which I find really helpful xx

Gonna try it for sure. I found that once I experienced self energy and knew how it felt and whereabouts in my body then I could find it so much more readily, it becomes easier with experience. I remember I had a self like part that I thought was self for a week before I experienced self and it was only after I realised that it lacked connectedness and curiosity that it wasn't self. I find it fascinating stuff to think about

How did you realize it was a part? Did you unburden?
@davidpuckdragАй бұрын
I'm curious, what were the characteristics of this self-like part?

I love this. I have been doing IFS off and on with my therapist for a couple years, but when I'm not at an appointment and life gets wonky and I'm busy it's really hard to remember the tools of IFS. This is a nice practical simple step, thank you for sharing 😊

Conor, I had the most unfortunate experience with IFS. I bought the book by Jay Early read quite a bit then booked a session with someone Who supposedly had the first there levels but the first session ( only half an hour) frightened a part of me so much that I didn't/ Couldn't do anymore which after a while and many acupuncture sessions later Drive my OCD through the roof. Back on meds and slowly recovering but sometimes licking myself for my foolishness. What I think went wrong is that the therapist didn't ask for permission ....from the protector and dove in. Maybe it's a lesson to let sleeping dogs lie.. I was watching your videos and loving It all but c',est la vie.

I'm sorry that you had this negative experience that sounds awful 😢Like you've identified it's really important that the parts give permission, we are not forcing anyone into anything. As gentle and slow is as needed. What can happen with therapists is that our system senses and trusts the self-energy of the therapist, and so enough self-energy is present to be able to access parts of ourselves that we may not currently be able to access alone. For this reason I have found having a therapist very helpful, like an assisted guide whilst my own systems trust in my own self-energy was low. From the sounds of it you could try continuing IFS on your own to rebuild the trust with this scared part of you. And if you and this part do want to try a therapist again, you could tell them before you start about this experience and how important it is for you that this scared part doesn't go into overwhelm again so you want to make sure that permission is always clear and the pace is very gentle and slow. Even trained therapists are still human and some will be more skilled than others. So I imagine that mistakes like this can happen. I started seeing my therapist because of a recommendation from a trusted friend. Some sort of assurance like that might be able to help you feel trust in a therapist again. Sending best of luck to you and I hope this experience doesn't put you off from IFS entirely.
