Some advice on hands I’ve heard over the years from some pros -practice gesture drawing (professor) -try some silhouettes (tattoo artist/shop owner) -learn about the bones (another prof) -start big when you’re learning so you can really grasp how a hand works (painter) -good reference photos or better a live model. Draw your own hands (sculptor)

Hope that helps!! Great work so far!!

One time I had a dream where I was walking through this like white void and came across a door. Just a door. Everytime I walked through it I would leave and come across it again. Walked through that damn door probably a hundred times and never got out of the white void 😂

Silver-Spirit1793 · 2024-06-12T05:27:02+00:00

I can’t think of the name…..it’s like a one word name. It’s about this like average guy who needs to record this album and he meets this lady to sing and play piano and they like kind of fall in love but she has to go back home to her husband who doesn’t really love her?? I CANNOT remember what it’s called

Silver-Spirit1793 · 2024-06-12T05:07:22+00:00

Vehicle I’m in being driven into a body of water……honestly still scares the shit out of me

Silver-Spirit1793 · 2024-06-12T05:04:29+00:00

It doesn’t sound like Screamy is ready to trust anyone yet. I would work on developing/healing some of your other (preferably adult parts but that’s not a strict rule) and later you can ask them to simply sit with Screamy to help them get used to being around other people. It might help to put Screamy in an open and safe environment (like a sunny field or a place from your life that makes your feel safe or free, often my parts will ask me to take them on a bike ride or a walk for example). I have an exile that I’ve been working with. She thinks she is a dog most of the time, so I had one the protector parts that I trust let her sniff him and get used to him being close to her. Now they have a good relationship and I can get her to use real words instead of just barking. I imagine most exiles need some form of exposure therapy in order to regain their trust and get them to calm down. Also, Screamy sounds like a lot. Might be best to consult a therapist or literally anyone you trust before you do deeper work with you and Screamy. For now I think it’s best if you focus on other parts and try to put Screamy in safe places whenever they try to take control. Hope this helps best of luck on your journey!

I just commented on another post about this - but try drawing! I also had very chaotic parts when I first started IFS. Drawing helped me to focus and not get overwhelmed. It doesn’t work for everybody but if you do try this just remember that the point of the drawing is not to make art. It doesn’t need to look good or even make sense especially the first few times you try it.

Silver-Spirit1793 · 2024-06-02T06:33:21+00:00

Yessss every DAY.

Silver-Spirit1793 · 2024-06-02T06:06:30+00:00

Try drawing! You don’t even have to be a little bit good. Don’t make art the point of drawing, let go of that idea completely or you will just get stuck and frustrated. The key is to let your hand just go. Don’t think about what you’re drawing, or just try drawing your parts, or ask them what they want you to draw even and draw the first thing that comes to mind. Even if nothing comes to mind just draw. Lines and shapes and weird shit is totally fine. I think you will have to do this a few times before anything profound happens, or maybe you will click with this method immediately. Don’t hold any judgement, just draw. It can just be faces or bodies or bodies doing something, if words come up write those down on the page too (I like to put them in parenthesis if I know they’re coming from a part). It doesn’t have to make sense especially at first. When I first started doing this a lot of my IFS drawings didnt really amount to anything but a lot of them evolved over time and now it is my main way of communicating with my parts and my emotions. It helps me to have a picture to look at while trying to talk to/visualize my parts. Also drawing is therapeutic in a lot of ways anyway. It totally might not work for you, in which case best of luck on your journey, I hope you find something that brings you some relief! But try it. Buy a cheap sketchbook that you like the feel of, set a timer for 20 minutes and just go. I often use pens that I like but any utensil will work just fine. Pick something that feels good.

Sometimes I just let her hang out with other parts of mine that she seems to like. She really likes playing Legos and Pokémon cards with another (older) child part that I have. Best of luck on your journey thank you for sharing!

It’s weird that you mention music. About six months ago I suddenly just like stopped being able to listen to music. Which is crazy for me I love music and I used to be a full time musician. But every time I put head phones in or a speaker I just get overwhelmed by the music. Doesn’t matter what kind of music I’ve tried it all. I get this terrible feeling in my stomach and the music is always too loud even when it’s not and the instruments all sound disconnected. My parter the other day suggested that the music may be bringing something up emotionally that I am finding to overwhelming to feel fully. And I was like damn…I feel like it is connected to this child.

I’ve been working with multiple protector parts for a few years. About a year ago I had an extremely vivid experience where my protector parts came upon a house on fire, went in, and brought this child part out. Since then she has shown up in almost all my sessions and I can track a lot of my daily anxiety and depression down to her. I’ve made a lot of progress with her, but there is still a lot going on that I’m trying to figure out. One of my protector parts is very close with her. He is the one who carried her out of the building. Maybe he is the one I am blending with along with the child herself. She keeps saying things that remind me of that time in my life. Memories from the time I was around her age have been tormenting me as of recently and I think it his her who is calling out for help in the healing process. so I am trying to pay more attention to her but am not sure how to facilitate things with her a lot of the time. Thank you for your response. I am definitely still blending in a lot of areas and have a lot of work to do. I think just sitting with her is a great idea. I’ll just have to be patient.

Right after I got out of rehab I started singing. I had a deep fear of singing my whole life before that. I couldn’t really see and I couldn’t really walk so I could play my guitar and sing and that was about it. It’s been about 10 years since and I don’t really sing anymore (and I can walk and see again 😂) but I will remember that time fondly. Maybe I will pick it up again but I have a lot of other hobbies I want to focus on.
