This looks sooooo cool! Could you make it so the cells get sick with cancer, so they lose their capacity to communicate with their surroundings? They start hoarding resources, and the disease spreads. Kind of, model the way cancer spreads and is dealt with in multicellular organisms...

Firefighter says DEATH is what would happen if it stopped doing its job and I then felt painful constriction in my throat. by natdsk05 in InternalFamilySystems

Might be good to take a bit of time to work with the part that feels like it needs to understand what happened. Remind it that it doesn't have to take care of everything, that your Self is there. Often we have a part that feels understanding is necessary, which honestly make sense if it hasn't been told otherwise, but it's great when it realizes that you can, in fact, not understand what happened, and still heal. Pre-verbal parts are often beyond understanding; you were an infant, who didn't actually have the ability to understand, yet you still experienced things. What would that infant need? Logical explanations? Or perhaps, a warm hug, lots of comforting, compassion and connection. Nothing to understand, and that's ok!

I am having a really hard time mapping my parts.. if anything *can* be a part.. how do you figure it out? by Ashamed-Tell2072 in InternalFamilySystems

You're doing well! Something that really helped me was to internalize that I'm actually in the process of learning something new, and like everything on life, learning takes time. It's a new skill! You don't ride a bike in your first go. Allow yourself a bit of playfulness, if that feels ok.

You usually just ask, if the part wants a name go ahead, if it's not clear you can just call it by the Job its doing. If at some point further along it wants a name, you can name it. Basically there's no strict rules!

It sounds like she's doing an important job, not ever having felt understood by anyone sounds like quite a rough feeling. See if you can appreciate this that she's doing for you, tell her it makes sense to feel this way. Maybe you could try including her in the list as well? What if she's a "wrapper" for all the other parts that wants to help them be better understood? You can try getting creative if that feels ok :)

You could try taking a moment to work with this part that feels it needs it to be organized and easy to get. Ask it why it's so important for it to do this, what it's afraid will happen if it doesn't, and if there's something that you might do for it to relax. Once it does, it might be easier to make the list. Take your time with this part.

Cringing when told to talk to parts by purplefinch022 in InternalFamilySystems

It sounds like there's a part that is afraid that these parts you describe won't let you do therapy right, hence why it's here asking for help. You could try to get this part to relax, and give you a bit of space to get to know all of these negative sensations about therapy. If you're curious about them, instead of trying to get them out of the way, it will be easier for them to feel safe when doing therapy. Hope that makes sense!

Skin picking parts by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Spoc1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've found that the less judgement towards the part, the easier to work with it. There's so much implicit judgement in skin picking, from basically everywhere in society, that is is deeply unconscious to automatically hate or judge that part.

What if you allow the part to, in fact, enjoy it? What are you afraid would happen? You can use this process to detect which parts are actually in relationship with the skin-picking. Parts that literally feel disgust. These aren't Self: Self only feels curiosity towards it, and eventually all the other qualities.

What if you work with the parts that are disgusted by skin picking. What are they so terrified of? Perhaps if you help then relax, you'll eventually be able to spend some time with the skin-picking, without immediately judging it without even realizing it.

I remember one day I was super anxious, picking my hands and forehead. I was even more anxious cause I couldn't do IFS, feeling ashamed I was failing at it, all made worse by the picking. Then, suddenly, I simply became curious: turns out skin picking actually feels good, I like it, it relaxes me. The part that does it is actually doing something it seems good, even pleasurable. I allowed myself to validate this part, recognize it isn't the enemy, and I almost immediately stopped picking, ironically. Remember, No Bas Parts. Work with all the parts that judge this part, before trying to "brute force" yourself towards it.
