280: Genie A. revisits

🔸 I am the host now! Testing Mother Bear energy. 📌Genie followed up: https://liveifs.com/2023/06/23/genies-blanket/ Hi James, Well that was an interesting experience LOL. Thanks for hanging in there. I hope the only problem the thunderstorm caused was your internet dropping out. I hung out with the little one for quite a while. She was happy to look around - but not to leave me. She stayed on my lap underneath the blanket, and kept checking back to look at my face to make sure I was still “there” - like being present to her. She doesn’t really understand the concept of ‘checking back in’ with her. At the moment I am crocheting a blanket. It’s got a lot of quite complex patterns, so I have to concentrate, but i told her that whenever I picked up the blanket to do another round of crochet, I would make space for her to come cuddle up next to me while I crochet. I think she understands that. And the whole blanket seemed very apt! 😀 I feel a lot more peaceful than I have in a long while. Still a bit teary eyed - but it’s ok. Thanks. 🔹 Parts: Unkind disrespectful mean and rude (can’t get to) Angry and also ashamed parts Sad, sucking thumb. Twitchy and sensitive, hasn’t had a hug in decades “it’s hard”. The world is so big, I've been so little. Quiet, scared, didn’t know what to do! Scrunching small (wouldn’t surprise me if this is who we were with) 🎓 What I'd like to do differently: A good test. If you could only send one message...? Fortunately Genie didn’t need much of me around. ----- 🗳 Send anonymous feedback to James: Feedback Form 😀Come chat with us: Discord 🙏PLEASE help Internal Family Systems reach more people.
