179: Daniel A. revisits
from Live IFS Hosted by Internal Family Systems Sessions
🔸 A new record? 🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs): 1. Afraid of overwhelm 2. Fear of being misunderstood Exiles: Worthlessness, ashamed of free and open play, "I shouldn't exist" 🎓 What I'd like to do differently: There were a couple times where I made assumptions or could have listened more closely, to be even more efficient! Note: it may have sounded like I was merely encouraging fantasizing, but that was not my intention. I don't believe it's necessarily therapeutic to indulge/fantasize every anti-social thought. I don't recall seeing any mention in IFS literature specifically supporting (or discouraging) catharsis as an effective tool. My understanding and perspective is one of "all parts are welcome", meaning, if a part has something it wants to show us, then continually repressing/denying it is counter productive. We all have "bad" thoughts; I believe we would be better off in the big picture, culturally and personally, by finding ways to safely acknowledge, normalize, validate, and learn about them. ----- 🗳 Send anonymous feedback to James: Feedback Form 😀Come chat with us: Discord 🙏PLEASE help Internal Family Systems reach more people.
