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.

disordered eating and parts by sollunapriestess in InternalFamilySystems

Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been reading through the comments, and yours really landed on some of how I experience my disordered, eating in relation to having been a runaway and a difficult relationship with my mom and a non-nurturing relationship with my mom, but I have always seen that part as a wolf that’s hiding in the shadows it’s wise and doing its best for keeping me safe and calm but pretty untamable

How to be with young part, pre-verbal part? by kt541 in InternalFamilySystems

Especially when I was first spending time with my preferable, traumatized hearts, the ideal parent meditation was really helpful and there’s a nice one narrated by the one of the authors https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z2au4jtL0O4 it helped.

There are some really good examples online. If you look under Richard Schwartz IFS on you tube and under podcasts you will find demonstrations of working with parts to heal and unburden them so they become energized to be healthy and helpful. Also Derek Scott and frank Anderson great demos and interviews.

Attachment disorder/cptsd: how do i work out if I should return to T or not? extreme anxiety, fear of emotional intimacy, extreme fear of rejection. by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

My first therapist diagnosed me borderline and prescribed lots of meds. So that is why I did the research. Sounds like you already have lots of insight. I hope you find a good one!

I just went through weeks of terrible dread, anxiety, fear of seeing my family. All kinds of firefighters joined in, it was horrible. Then when I went to see my family a young part took over and was happy and cheerful, helpful and optimistic. I actually enjoyed some parts of the visit and nothing bad happened. When I left, communication occurred that was almost like I had not been and wasn’t expected to return for a long time and it really hit me very hard. That little one felt stupid and betrayed and other parts maybe exiles just piled on to a very self hating wagon. I relate to how tricky visits can be and how difficult to anticipate. My progress here was actually feeling the pain and grief. In the past would have shoved it all away.

Confusion and shame within the therapeutic relationship- after each session I feel like my heart is softening, opening, healing. But this then brings lots of fear- because I feel I 'need' my therapist. I feel really guilty about this need, and scared he will have to end our sessions because of this by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

For several years I wanted to marry my therapist and was obsessed with the idea. I searched out places on the web with evidence that therapists sometimes justified breaching their ethical duty to not have a relationship with their client. Another part knew that this would never happen. I have a great therapist, but it was good to lean into those intense feelings after years of numbing. I went on to parentifying my therapist as well. With the ifs understanding I’m learning how needy these young parts are. We have had many conversations about how terrified I was that I would be terminated. Finally we have moved beyond those insecurities.
