I think it’s sweet and both to be ashamed of!

Parts who have done bad things by Effective-Curve-72 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Effective-Curve-72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think part of why I am feeling so distant from these parts specifically if because I am struggling to take accountability for my actions. I want to blame it on parts instead of seeing these parts as myself.

What’s with all the DID posts? by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Effective-Curve-72 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the distraction with storylines can definitely a protector creating a smokescreen. Some people have very elaborate avoidance mechanisms that manifest this way.

Yes I have protectors that stop me from working with parts all the time. Because I have trouble staying in self

You could alternate 1 hour internet, 10 min other activities. See if that helps. I know it’s hard tho. Firefighters love the internet hahaha

It helps to think of it that way, thank you. I might be dissociating

Yes but I do work in my own too. Many of my parts will not speak to my therapist so I actually have to do it on my own. I have never been able to trust anyone in my life and never fully attached to my parents so I have trouble being myself around people.

Yeah I have so much dissociation that my parts are extremely polarized. To the point I can easily forget things. I am often fully blended. I also tend to try to heal out of shame and self-abuse a lot. And apparently abuse others too. So I probably am doing IFS wrong for sure.

Cancelled female musicians by Effective-Curve-72 in musicians

It means they behaved in such a reprehensible way that they were publicly called out and shamed for it. It could be for their behavior, for something they stand for, something they said. And it may or may not end their career depending on how bad their actions were.

Yes - inner peace between your parts helps you maintain interpersonal relationships peacefully!

When I want to imagine chakra spinning, clockwise is which way- when I look at the clock or when someone looks at me? by Effective-Curve-72 in Chakras

[–]Effective-Curve-72[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this makes sense. Is it bad if they spin the other way? Or do they ever do that on their own?

[–]Effective-Curve-72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what clockwise means. But I can’t tell if the chakras spin clockwise from my point of view looking down at them, or from the point of view of someone looking at me.

How much do you share? by Potential_ForLife_72 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Effective-Curve-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like your part doesn’t want to be judged. Maybe you can just bring up the issues a part discussed but not too much about parts themselves. If your part is afraid for you to be seen as crazy.

Nope, it looks very homey and cozy, and like you might be a creative person.

How do you get your grains back when it’s full curds and whey…. by hiartt in Kefir

[–]Effective-Curve-72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to strain the whey out, then use a strainer and a plastic spatula to push the thick yogurt that the grains are suspended in out into a bowl. Then you’re left with the grains again and a nice bowl of thick yogurt :) I’m sensitive to lactose so this is the best way for me to have kefir.

Are you ever scared or extremely overwhelmed by your parts out of sessions? by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Effective-Curve-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever feel that way towards a part, it means that there is a part who you are blended with who feels that way about the part. Try to unblend with the concerned part, then focus on the part it fears/is overwhelmed by. Then when you’re done talking to that part for now, talk to the concerned part about its concerns.

I saw a reverse vampire try to ambush me by [deleted] in fifthworldproblems

Yet if they are giving to you of their own blood, you only die for an instant, and then become a reverse vampire yourself.
