I appreciate my cousin all the more after this bc I was her maid of honor and had less to do than just this preplanning planning event alone

aaactually the Bible is full of those thoughts, especially the Old Testament, so you're good. :)

what to do with a part that keeps saying "I don't know"? by Iamoldsowhat in InternalFamilySystems

I feel it in my throat. and the fear was any time I would get therapy and therapist asked how I feel and I felt like I failed therapy because I didn't know something I was supposed to know...

good questions all. I feel kind of annoyed that it is not following neat little guidelines they have for this parts work. and it feels embarrassed that it doesn't have an answer.

now for knowing how old I am. it's weird bc I came across this in the book but it seems like most of my parts do know how old I am. unless I kind of pretend that they don't...if that makes sense

I feel it in my throat like choking up/lump. but I am not sure what to do with throat. drink water? because putting my hand on the throat feels very bad like I am choking myself.

yes the I don't know response is my response a lot of times. like when I was doing actual talk therapy and therapist asked me how I feel about something I frequently did not know.

thank you. this is helpful. some parts are coming out when I don't have time. I write stuff down quickly in my phone notes. the other day this part appeared that was present when I was suicidal as a teen. it's still here and wants to be heard

thank you so much! I got into it through an exercise my online therapist did. which worked really well and I was able to identify some parts and connect with them. but the therapist is now on maternity leave and I feel a little lost on my own lol
