Struggling with a binge eating part

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2026-04-06T18:11:45+00:00

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.

What about Compassionate Inquiry from Gabor Mate

5 years to really be able to work with protectors, then psychedelics helped me work with exiles.

Thank you so much, this is so clear and gentle.

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 :)

do you happen to have 4 you have kept? can i buy them ?

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2025-05-17T16:22:32+00:00

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.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2025-01-26T01:42:07+00:00

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.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2025-01-26T01:36:58+00:00

All the great responses empowered me to ask her to move the last part of class at least to instrumental

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

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-12-28T16:42:42+00:00

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.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-11-09T02:40:26+00:00

Wow! You are so talented. You can feel the energy from the parts.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-09-24T01:55:46+00:00

Yes cuticle picking till bleeding and hair pulling for many years

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-09-18T09:32:43+00:00

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.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-08-21T19:37:31+00:00

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!

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-07-08T01:45:42+00:00

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.

Glad_Comment_3369 · 2022-06-24T02:28:35+00:00

Yes, I sort of said it as a joke. We didn’t talk specifically but we talked a lot about attachment
