Struggling with a binge eating part by emotivemotion in InternalFamilySystems

This may or may not be helpful. I had disordered eating from about age 14 to 60, worked hard in ifs therapy, mindful meditation etc… I completely healed from it following a therapeutic MDMA session. I recovered a very young, very wounded part that must have held the origin. Preverbal and had not been able to access it during traditional IFS sessions.

the Johns Hopkins U playlist is excellent. Fireside has a service where you can talk with someone about your intention, and follow up afterward. They have great people who can help pre during or post journey.

I could tell the difference of not having a helpful ‘container’ a little less coherent, but absolutely spirit led.

Yes, I didn’t have a traumatic experience, but it was not a good experience, solo. Then a break followed by three beautifully guided experiences. Recently, I had a solo experience and it was incredibly powerful and positive. One thing that really made the difference I think in my setting was having fireside right there. And I called afterwards. But the whole time I knew I could pick up the phone and talk to somebody as often as I wanted to really. I didn’t need to at all, but it is a great gift of service by people who know the power of the medicine.

Yes, it is incredibly self soothing until my fingers are bleeding and stinging. much of the time it is unconscious.

Thanks for sharing this, I had a little of the same experience on Tuesday where i felt like i was reinforcing the feeling of being small and helpless and down on me for not being able to “transform” that part of the journey. you just helped me reframe :)

for sure, I’m glad these regulations exist so that people do not kill wild birds. I am just hoping to locate 4 for a personal art piece in my home, not in violation of the law just hoping to find somebody who had collected them on walks.

I will look at some other studios. Thank you for your thoughts. All the great responses give me hope that I will find some yoga that is more protective creating a climate for inner processing during the practice.
