Highly recommend #Remento if you want to give your Mom a present this Mother’s Day that helps you learn more about who she is and where you come from!

These inner beings are not mere figments of imagination, but vibrant individuals clamoring for recognition and understanding.

Have you ever pondered the intricate 'parts' that make up your inner world?

Take the moment. Listen to their words, and feel their feelings. Have a conversation. Every part of you is doing its best to care for you. ❇️ #internalfamilysystems #ifstherapy #psychodrama #anxiety #nyc #nobadparts #ifs #feelings #listen

Let's offer some gentle care to all our inner voices. As this week comes to a close, give your Self the time to reflect. Which parts are in need of a bit of extra attention?

Sometimes our work with clients is to help them unlearn the shame they have associated with their parts, and help them reconnect with their natural playfulness, daring and curiosity.

As an experiential therapy, Psychodrama is action oriented. It can be helpful for an individual to get in touch with a playful and movement oriented side of themselves to process their pain and work toward healing.

A reminder to start out the week. “You were doing the best with what you were given.” Offer this affirmation to yourself or to those you are supporting this week.

Parts are not meant to have extreme roles. The Self is meant to use the 8C’s to help parts avoid taking these roles.
