Overwhelmed? Parts Work may be your Key to Compassion

from The Connection Podcast - Lauren Dry

Parenting, Repair, Work and just day to life - when you're completely Overwhelmed with Relationship stress - can feel debilitating. Despite our best of intentions, it feels like connection can be impossible and shame spirals from even the smallest of mistakes can take over completely. Come and walk with me today as we walk through a beautiful, supportive and wonderfully vivid visualisation that will help you get to the root of your protective patterns, and come back into compassion and curiosity again at the root.Here are the steps:- Take a break, give yourself grace, and have a moment to get curious about your internal environment- Write down the language of your Protective Patterns from the example that recently caused you stress. This language may sound like "I can't get anything right" "No-one will help me" "I'm completely alone" or any other negative challenge- Visualise *clearly* what the part of you that is saying these things looks like (a 'protective' part of you). What is this part of you wearing? How old are they? What is their body language like? Get super clear. The more detail the better.- Ask this part: How do you feel?- Ask this part: What do you need?- Somatically (using your body) meet the need. For example, if the need is CARE, the somatic gesture may be a gentle self hug, or rocking- Ask this version of yourself to take a break, have a rest, maybe sit down and relax for a period- Ask this version of yourself if it's okay now to talk to the 'inner child' that the protector part is shielding- Repeat the exercise while visualising the 'inner child' selfAfter this whole visualisation is complete, revisit what happened earlier that caused you stress, with new eyes and a more compassionate and clear perspectiveIf you need any support and to chat further, come and hang out with me in instagram at @the.connection.catalystSharing with you my BIGGEST loveLauren x Find Me:https://www.instagram.com/the.connection.catalyst/Work With Me:https://tr.ee/ZZ8e0CUUH3Free Training:https://tr.ee/f6HdNyp23Q
