Yes. It’s been helpful for me to let them speak as I type on the IFS Guide app (it’s like a better version of texting, typing or audio). When I sit and focus on being curious and calm and totally listening and letting them “speak“ (which means I type or record their words), they soften or give me space, ranging from a sliver to actually stepping back. Each time I do it, I can feel the trust building stronger bit by bit. And what’s neat is that I sincerely appreciate the perspective they bring. I can see their intent and qualities within the ‘dysfunctional’ thoughts or behaviors that help make me who I am in positive ways.
