4. Unburdening or releasing the part. When a part is no longer of service, it can be retired, released to the elements, given a new job or a limited capacity

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

3. Befriend the part, getting to know where it came from, what it’s role is, if it has a name or a voice, what it looks like...

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

2. Working with a part. Feel towards the part by noticing your reactions to it. The IFS book (and key tenet) is called No Bad Parts because each part is doing its job. The job may no longer be serving you, or even causing you distress, but the part is not malicious.

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

You can tell that you’re working with a part when you are not feeling a “critical mass” of the core self, identified by the 8 c’s: calm, clarity, curiosity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, connection

-Exiles are the parts where trauma and emotion live.
These are the parts the protectors feel are too weak
to be seen so they are hidden away.

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

- Firefighters are reactionary parts that jump in
when the borders are breached. They are also
protective parts but will protect the core
authentic self at any cost.

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

Parts work is comprised of 3 essential parts:

1. Identifying a part. IFS divides parts into Managers,
Firefighters and Exiles.

- Managers are typically protector parts - protecting
access to the core, authentic self

Breath is the medicine that you always have with you. Take a moment to pause and connect with your breath:

Deep, Slow
Calm, Ease

Having courage does not mean vanquishing fear, it means feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Sometimes it can help to picture yourself winning or by knowing that you’re not alone in this – every single person on earth has felt afraid at some point. https://t.co/VTNR9OiEHJ

[deganwalters @deganwalters]

Being human without allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to feel loved, or to feel joy, is to miss out on a lot. Try not to be afraid to love. Or be afraid and keep going. Let yourself be vulnerable enough to feel joy. https://t.co/mHMEqh8dDe
