In this session we meet Milva who identifies a key Protector. She learns of this Protector’s true intention and makes meaningful connection. As she journeys inside, she also meets three younger Parts. In offering her compassionate presence she begins to help them to heal.
WHO SHOWED UP
WHAT I NOTICED…
There were times I didn’t quite know what was happening inside and I felt comfortable to trust in Milva’s system. I sensed the Self Energy available and that her system would know what needed to happen next.
I was curious if there had been a Part inside with an agenda who was pushing other Parts to move forward too quickly – the 17 year old especially, felt pressured and needed more time.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
I’d check in to see if there was a Part with an agenda and what concerns it would have about us taking our time. I’d also check in regarding the responsibility older Parts felt towards youngers ones. I’m curious about how driven they were to put younger Parts needs before their own.
I noticed a Therapist Part came in towards the end trying to create and hold space when Milva’s system was doing a great job of this already!

In this session we meet Jenny who identifies several Parts who show up around food. She connects with 2 key protector Parts and helps a younger Part to heal from earlier wounding.
WHO SHOWED UP
WHAT I NOTICED…
As Jenny identified her group of Parts there was the potential here to work with 2 teams of Parts. However, as I learned that the Critical Part could align with either side this could muddy the waters. Instead, I invited Jenny to work with a target Part.
I felt really able to trust in Jenny’s system to know what to do and it was a joy to witness the Part’s spontaneous release of negative beliefs through her tears.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Jenny beautifully narrated her internal experience. Given this was our first time working together I wasn’t sure if this was what happened for Jenny every time she went inside or if it was a Part who had taken on this responsibility to narrate for the listeners. As the narration didn’t appear to interrupt the flow of the session, I didn’t intervene but in hindsight I wonder what may have surfaced if I had been curious.

In this session we meet Marie. She develops a meaningful connection with a much younger Part who took on early responsibility far beyond her years. We also meet a number of very hard working protectors who are not yet trusting of Self or the compassion being offered or received inside.
WHO SHOWED UP
WHAT I NOTICED…
Before the session began, Marie let me know she had some strong protectors who could intensify when she made connection with more vulnerable Parts.
In response I was aware of us talking about Parts rather than being with Parts in the first half of the session. There was some benefit to this as it gave her Parts a chance to check me out. On reflection there was also some holding back on from my Parts in creating space for the being with.
It was also a joy to witness the protectors give space so Marie could connect with the 6 year old.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Around 20 minutes in I asked “Does the Part know you are here too?” This this was too direct as it triggered the Swirly protector to come in. I could have been more gentle with this invitation.
Given how triggering compassion was for Marie’s Parts I noticed a tension inside that held me back from being as warm and connecting as I would usually be. This warmth may have been very helpful for bringing self energy to her system.
I was also aware that perhaps I was a too tentative with these protectors and could have been more confident in engaging with these Parts; offering recognition and validation to their experience.
3 WORD SUMMARY OF THE SESSION
Explorative, gentle, tentative.

In this session we meet Kathy who gets in touch with a teenage Part who feels ashamed of her body changing and who fears her curves. She witnesses what is held by this Part and brings her home to a place of safety. She also supports an older teenage Part to adjust to the new arrival.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
Kathy’s Self Energy was palpable with many long pauses in session (15 minutes of pauses edited out for listener experience). Deep work happened here and I was honoured to be witness to this process. I was struck by the depth of what was held by the 14 year old and the trust in her Self Energy to hold the experience.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
I noticed when connecting to 14 year old I didn’t mirror client language and brought my own interpretation. (This was unusual for me so I was curious about what was going on here).
As the angry energy of her mother appeared I instinctively invited Kathy to move between the Parts and the anger to create safety for the 14 year old. This could be perceived as being agenda driven but on reflection it didn’t come from the head, it felt a heart led suggestion.

In this session we meet Elizabeth who gets in touch with a Part who yearns for life free from responsibility. She also supports a cluster of younger Parts to release what’s been held inside. Although there is no mention of her eating patterns, themes around freedom, play and safety emerge that directly relate to and influence these patterns.
WHO SHOWED UP
WHAT I NOTICED…
I noticed there was a lot of trust in Elizabeth’s Parts to guide the work. My analytical Part can sometimes struggle with the not knowing but for the most Part in this session it was able to hang back.
Around halfway through the session, we got to know the sheet/ net Part and I became aware of a therapist Part emerging. The tone of my voice changed, I moved out of my body into my head and became more focused on guiding the process in a particular way. This was led by a therapist based agenda rather than curiosity. It took some time before this therapist Part settled back.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
When I first asked the cluster of Parts if they wanted to release their energy, this was premature. There was not yet a strong enough connection yet between Elizabeth and these Parts. As they learned more about who was and Elizabeth’s role, the bond strengthened and they were able to release what they held.
Before the cluster released their energy I should have checked to make sure it was okay with everyone in there.
Although here was a partial unburdening and some change, this process isn’t complete, there is more work to do with the 10 and 15 year old Parts.

In this session we meet Alissa who connects with 2 younger Parts who focus on sugar to meet need. This focus began influencing eating patterns in childhood and continue to drive these patterns in adult life. Alissa connects to both Parts and we learn more about their roles and positive intentions. She supports one Part to be fully released from her role and deepens the connection with the other for future work.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
It was tricky for Alissa to locate Parts in her body however, she had clear visuals of her Parts so we worked with her system in this way. Early in the session I spoke to the 2 young Parts using more adult language when it was clear they were really young. It would have been more supportive if I had been more attuned with my language from the offset.
Alissa really embodied the energy of these young Parts so it felt like I was really with them. I noticed how helpful this was in feeling more connected as the session progressed.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
After the young girl Part had been released from her role and we returned to the young boy Part I felt I could have done more to develop a Self to Part connection to build safety. He feels key in protecting Alissa from going without, given her earlier experiences. I would have loved more time with him as I had so many questions!

In this session we meet Kristen who explores how earlier experiences changed her relationship with her body. We discover how a younger Part of her continues to feel confused about the body given the conflicting messages. We discover how hard this Part worked to try to be good in order to meet her need for connection. Kristen builds a relationship with this Part in session and helps her to heal.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
I had a Part who really resonated with the confusion of the young Part and the mixed messages she received growing up. In order to remain curious, I reminded myself that although there are parallels, I don’t know Kristen’s unique experience. This helped me move from a more empathic position (I am this) to a compassionate one (I’m here with this).
There was a flow to this session with lots of Self Energy available in both mine and Kristen’s systems. I noticed a lot of trust in her and her Parts in the process.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
At the end when checking in with the Part who had initially been scared of the young confused Part, I would have preferred to have spent more time developing a connection with Self before exploring the partnership going forward.

In this session we meet Marie who shares her history of compulsive eating. We discover how early experiences have influenced her relationship with nourishment and the challenges with taking in both food and water. She identifies key Protector Parts and helps a young Part to heal.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
I had a Part who really wanted to know the details as Marie explored her system. I had to work hard to attend to this Part throughout the session and offer it reassurance that it's okay not to know. I felt this created space to trust in Marie and her Parts to find their way. As I write this, I notice a Critical Part telling me I should have been more directive. There is also another Part who trusts in Self and this process.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Early on in session as Marie explored her experience, I identified a number of Parts. However, when reflecting back my observations I only named the Eating Part. This was a missed opportunity to offer her a more collective sense of her family of Parts and get clarity on who she (not me) wanted to focus on.
As I listened back to the session, there were times where I felt I could have intervened a little more. This session was a tricky balance for me between leaving enough space for both her and her Parts and not too much!

In this session we meet Ciara who shares the impact of years of punishing physical workouts and weight cycling. She connects with her Eating Part, discovers what this Part truly needs and helps her to heal.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
Ciara navigated her system well and she was really responsive to the process. I experience my inner world in a similar, very visual way to Ciara and my Parts really enjoyed the creativity in her system.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
As she began to connect with her Eating Part, another Part (the moat) showed up, who was concerned about this connection and fearful that Ciara might be cross with the Eating Part. lt believed Ciara was in fact the Angry Part. Although Ciara did a great job in creating safety for her Parts through her presence (and Self Energy), I could have brought more clarity to the process at this point.
SUMMARY
A real pleasure to do this work in such a creative system.

In this session we meet Destinee. She learned early in life that it was important to stay focused on her body in order to meet expectations set by others and maintain these relationships. As she gets to know her Parts, there is an important shift which creates space for a different approach.
Destinee is new to Parts work and this is her first experience being guided to go inside and connect with her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
This session did not follow the standard IFS format as my system was activated. My more analytical Therapist Parts definitely led this session! Although I was able to hold space for Destinee to get to know her Parts, there was less Self Energy available. Destinee did a great job of getting to know her Parts and there was a sense of compassion developing inside.
When connecting with the younger Part earlier in the session I recognised the lack of Self Energy in my own system. As witnessing wasn’t going to be possible, I offered an invitation for this Part to come to the present with Destinee. This would leave space for them to begin building a connection in the coming days and weeks.
I have a Part who can acknowledged what went well in session e.g. that Destinee discovered that clarity is needed around what is ‘good enough’ for her, such an important realisation! There is also a Part in me who has been critical of the analytical Parts and the lack of Self Energy. I have been holding space for these Parts since the session.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
If more Self Energy had been available to me, I would have liked to have supported Destinee to build a deeper connection with her Parts so they could sense her healing presence.
I would have preferred to stay with her protectors rather than explore her young Parts experience at the beginning of session. I’m not sure which of my Parts led me down that path!

In this session we meet Sam who learns more about the Part of her who eats in secret, and how her past continues to inform the present. There is a shift as she discovers the positive intention of one of her critical Parts, creating space for compassion and connection inside. Sam has some knowledge of Parts and this is her first experience being guided to go inside and connect with her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
I noticed a number of my Self Like Parts and Therapists Parts were present during this session and at times I felt quite blended with these Parts. Although I was working on unblending throughout the session, I suspect the lack of Self Energy coming from my system impacted Sam and her Parts. There were at times more managerial Self Like Parts present in Sam's system.
I often feel torn when Self Like Parts show up in the other person. Self Like Parts are not Self, yet have some self energy, bring gifts and have value. A Part of me believes they can truly be enough for now (until it feels safe enough for Parts to connect more fully with Self). Another Part of me holds judgement that Self Like Parts are not ‘as good as’ Self and that if Self Like Parts are present we are not 'getting it right'. That judgement brought some shame to my system which I needed to attend to after the session.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Early in the session Sam shared her experience of eating in secret when she was younger and the fear she experienced of being discovered. This was a missed opportunity to offer some compassion to this younger Part and develop the Self to Part relationship.
There was a brief mention of a Part who believes other people think it's not capable. I’m curious about why I didn’t explore this further as this felt an important trailhead to a core belief.
I would like to have asked Sam to pause at a various stages in the session so I could spend some time connecting with my Parts and creating more space for them so I could be more fully present with her.

Today we meet Daria as she gets to know her eating Part. There is a significant and meaningful connection made and we support this Part to heal.
Daria has some experience of working with her own system and the inner world of her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
I suspect the Part who works really long hours has an impact on the system and on reflection I was surprised that neither me or Daria named this Part or explored the role of this Part. I’m curious how this Part is understood by her system.
When I asked Daria how she felt towards the Eating Part, she said “neutral”. I noticed an initial freeze response in my system and I couldn’t discern whether this was my own response or there was a resonance with her system. One of my therapist Parts took over and offered curiosity to Daria's system until I unblended from the freezing response. This Part was able to use the questions Daria had shared at the beginning of the session to support connection between Daria's self and her Part.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Later in the session the Eating Part shared her fears of being kicked out. She had been working hard to be flexible so she could stay. This included changing her soothing behaviour from drinking to eating. There was an expectation held by the Part that she needed to be ‘good enough’ in order to stay connected. I could have been more supportive of the perspective that the Part didn’t in fact need to do anything to be able to be with Daria.

Today we meet Hannah. Hannah has some understanding of Parts and this is her first 1:1 session focusing on Parts. Please note my mic was playing up, but this is such a great session we felt we should still share it!
WHO SHOWED UP…
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
I was struck by the journey Hannah has been on and the progress she has made. As she explored her Parts I noticed the differing positions of these Parts and the tension that this creates inside for her.
I was aware of the huge compassion for both the Part who doesn’t trust and the Part who has lied in the past. I had a Part who wanted to come in and rescue and sooth the sadness. I had to work hard to ask this Part to settle back as I knew Hannah would be best placed to meet their needs.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
There was a key polarisation between the Part who doesn’t trust and the Part who lies. I would have liked to have made this more explicit.
My system reacted to the Part being called the Lying Part. I had a Part who felt this was unjust and although this may have been ‘my stuff’ I would have preferred to have checked in with Hannah to see if the Part may have wanted a different name.
Since the session, Hannah has noticed a greater sense of grounding within herself. "This is incredibly important work and I'm excited to continue exploring and deepening my understanding of myself and others".

Today we meet Jane. Jane has some understanding of Parts and this is her first 1:1 session focusing on Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
Early on I noticed a Part in me holding anxiety around the process. As the intensity was unusual, I wondered if I was picking this up from Jane’s system. As I offered the Part in me some compassion and recognition, it began to soften and I was aware of a softening in Jane’s system too.
I also became aware of a heaviness in me as the intensity of Jane’s emotional experience increased. This heaviness did not feel like my own and gave me a sense there is more being held in her system that is yet to emerge.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Around halfway a Part shared its fear of a big feeling. I commented that ‘it often feels really big’. Listening back, I felt this really dismissed the Parts experience and was a missed opportunity to fully validate its fear in the moment.
I would have liked to have been more explicit around the relationship between the two key Parts we focused on. There was a shift from the People Pleaser Part to the young Part it was attempting to protect and at times it felt as if they became enmeshed and the process lacked clarity.

CONTENT/ TRIGGER WARNING: The word ‘abuser’ is used once by Jackie (3.49) and repeated by me (5.22). No details of abuse are explored.
Today we meet Jackie. Jackie is very experienced working with her system and the inner world of her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
A 9 year old Part who believes that if she keeps eating she can protect Jackie.
WHAT I NOTICED…
Throughout the session I was in awe of Jackie’s capacity to be with her Parts and the level of trust that existed. At times I noticed uncertainty in my system around whether Self, a Self like Part or another Part was leading.
I had a Part who wanted to step in to clarify and tease out these details, however there such a flow to the work it felt counter intuitive to disrupt this. As I asked my Part to soften back, I noticed an increase in confidence in Jackie and her system to know the way.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
About a third of the way through (18.50) I asked the little girl if she had anything in or around her body she no longer needed. As there was still more for her to share with Jackie this question would have been more useful later in the session.
Half way through I suspected there was a Part attempting to lead – ‘She’s not going to be the bad one anymore’. I could have stepped in here naming this as coming from a Part and asking for more space.
Following the session Jackie has been to visit her little one several times in their gathering space. "Listening to the recording together brought us even closer. She has reminded me in small ways that we agreed she's not to blame or seen as "the bad one" which has continued to have her feel seen and protected."

Today we meet Laura. Laura is new to working with her system and the inner world of her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
Key Parts
Other Parts
WHAT I NOTICED…
I am a mother who has also struggled to find the balance between meeting the demands of family life and meeting my own needs, and I noticed some of my Parts beginning to over identify with Laura’s experience. I asked these Parts to soften back so I could remain curious.
I also have a strong Justice Part who carries anger and resentment. I asked my Justice Part to step back as I could sense it wanting to dialogue with some intensity. This gave space for Laura’s Justice Part to share it’s experience with her (rather than be pulled into connection with a Part of me).
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
I have a Critical Part who often shows up when doing Implicit Direct Access. It believes that I ‘should’ be able to support the Self to Part connection with others at all times. I felt this Part dominated at various points throughout the session. I would have liked to have had the courage to ask for a pause so that I could invite this Part more formally to step back.
Half way through the session I noticed doubt around the level of Self Energy available and a Part of me felt stuck and began to take up space. On reflection this was triggered by my Critical Part. Again, asking my Critical Part to soften back would have created more space for Self Energy and been supportive for Laura’s process.
Following the session, Laura noticed her system was calmer than usual, and she was able to check in with her Justice Part briefly each day to build trust with this key Part.

Today we meet Kamile. She has some experience of working her own system and the inner world of her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
I had a Part who was initially concerned about the level of Self Energy available, as Kamile described feeling neutral towards the Purging Part (no curiosity or compassion). Identifying Kamile’s Critical Part and it’s fears, helped my concerned Part gain clarity and my system began to settle.
I was curious about the belief held by the Diet Part that if it didn’t get it right everything was going to fall apart. This felt significant and highlighted an Exile(s). I noticed I had a Part that wanted to know more and guide the process in this direction. I had to ask this Part to soften back so we could be led by Kamilla’s curiosity rather than the agenda of my Part.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Half way through the session we learned more about the Diet Part. It felt this learning came from Kamile talking about the Diet Part rather than through the relationship between Kamile’s Self and the Diet Part. I would have liked to have supported this relational connection more effectively at this stage.
Towards the end, the Diet Part expressed “I might have overreacted a bit”. I sensed there was shame held in this statement and a Part in me came into rescue and offer reassurance. On refection it would have been more supportive to invite Kamilla to respond directly to the Part.

Today we meet Summer. She has some understanding of her own system and the inner world of her Parts. This is the first time she has explored her Parts with someone else.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
I had a Part who was way more curious in the beginning about the Part restricting food, so I gently asked inside if this Part would step back, so I could be with Summer’s curiosity around her Eating Part.
We explored current patterns around binge eating which appeared helpful to Summer however, my system was interested in the origins of these patterns. Again, I had to ask my Parts to soften back so I could be with Summer in her process.
A Judgmental Part came in too around the level of Self Energy available. I asked this Part several times during the session to give me space so I could be more present with Summer.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
The Working It Out Part was really present during the session. I would liked to have acknowledged this Part and explored its intentions and fears. I would have invited it to step back, if possible, to create a little more space for Self and Self Energy.
There were Parts supporting Parts in the last 1/3 of the session as they came up with ideas around next steps. There was some wisdom in the suggestions and I sensed that Summer reaching out to her partner for support was particularly Self Led. However, I would have liked more clarity on how Self Led the other suggestions were.

Today we meet Renee. She has experience working with her Parts and has access to Self and Self Energy.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
My own system felt relaxed with Renee and I noticed my level of confidence in her system. When Renee first opened her heart space towards the other Parts I wasn’t sure if this was a Self like Part stepping in so I asked “How do you feel towards…?” to get clear on this.
Her Eating Protector gave access to the Exile and Renee was able to do beautiful work with this very young Exile. Both the Protector and Exile experienced Renee’s Self Energy and they felt safe enough to let her lead.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Check in with the Concerned, Angry and Confused Parts more often in session and also acknowledge them towards the end of the session.
I asked Renee to check the Exile for anything that it may still be carrying, that it no longer needed but I didn’t check if the Eating Protector had any burden. It curled up in her heart space but could still be carrying a burden. It wasn’t ready to give up it’s role and was still a little sceptical. I would have liked to have given this Part more attention.
Following the session Renee noticed she was able to make choices based on nourishment. This included food choices as well as setting boundaries, creating space for herself and attending to her needs.
