This week we are focused on befriending our "protector" parts with compassion using the lens of Buddhist practice, specifically karuna (compassion) and upekkha (equanimity). The practice involves learning to relate to your inner parts with balance and wisdom, understanding that they arise from a place of care, not harm. By turning towards these parts instead of pushing them away, they can relax, allowing their energy to be redirected toward wholeness.

Prompt: What is a part of your personality that has been more active recently? Round 2!
