Not all the time, but you have to be able to access adult you.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:04:42] “By differentiating from our parts, we can fall in love with them. And that is the foundation of parts work. It doesn't work if you don't fall in love with these versions of you.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:20:17] “Love is the most powerful tool. It's the most powerful weapon that there is, and it is stronger than anything else.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:26:19] “My deepest wish for you isn't that those symptoms go away. My deepest wish for you is that you fall so deeply in love with these parts, that you set them free and that you see who you are as the parent to them, which is a miraculous, amazing being.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:28:21]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Join the Waitlist for You Make Sense

Why do the patterns we most want to change keep showing up in our lives? In this episode, Sarah unpacks how behaviors like self-sabotage, perfectionism, or avoidance are actually rooted in younger parts that developed to keep us safe. Many of us come to parts work or IFS with an agenda to just “stop the pattern” — but that is actually not very effective. Real healing begins when we shift our focus from obtaining an outcome to understanding the deeper needs of the parts carrying our pain.
