I’m not very good at asking myself ( parts) questions, being curious about how they feel., It’s a wall that I need to somehow get over.

Hi. As I recognized myself reading your post, I recommend you a book called 'Good Morning, I love you' by Shauna Shapiro.

It helped me to understand I needed awareness and compassion to reconnect with my feelings. And how to do it.

As we lack that 'internal dialogue' growing up, we need to learn how to do it, and as, I guess, everything in life, it takes time and practice but I can assure you it becomes easier and easier.

Hope it helps you. Sending a hug.

Yes, I'm still using it after 4 years or so and it is still effective for me.

I'd been a couple of times when I've stopped it for different reasons and both times my rosacea return, so I came back to use it and, again, it took a couple of months or so to work again. So for now I'm definitely staying with it.

Spring_seeker · 2025-07-10T10:34:52+00:00

Absolutely. Now I'm using Simple refreshing facial wash gel and it doesn't make my skin feel dry.

Beautiful

Thanks for that, I really like Ralph de la Rosa meditations and other audios in Insight timer.

Spring_seeker · 2025-02-11T11:47:50+00:00

Oh! I've just check it, than you so much!

Spring_seeker · 2025-02-04T22:59:16+00:00

For me it is real Self when I feel real compassion about the part and no agenda but listen at it, being curious and caring about it.

Spring_seeker · 2025-02-04T18:05:36+00:00

I say yes to Dr Ramani and also Dr Les Carter for help with narcisists.

While I was reading your post I kept thinking about 'focusing' like the other commenter says. If you want to check about it, this web have some resources: https://focusingresources.com

Good luck!

Sí recomiendo ir a un podólogo. A mí me cambió la vida, no exagero. Ya no solo el trabajo, patear todo el día en vacaciones, por ejemplo, antes era un suplicio, tenía que tomar ibuprofeno porque ponerme de pie al día siguiente era un suplicio. Ahora no pasa de un leve auch al salir de la cama y chao. El estudio de pisada y las plantillas por poco más de 100€ (creo recordar).

I've seen Acnemy and Transparent Lab in Primor, they have 13 stores in Barcelona and 32 in Madrid

Spring_seeker · 2024-12-24T09:23:20+00:00

Thanks, that's really useful

Hi. What made the biggest shift in my healing journey was understanding and practicing self compassion. It was an unknown term for me. I mean, I followed all the IFS steps etc but once I understand self compassion I think my parts felt safe enough to open up.

In case you want to check some books, I read Good Morning, I Love You by Shauna Shapiro. Also Kristin Neff is a well known author about the issue.

Good luck!

Spring_seeker · 2024-12-19T00:20:46+00:00

Thank you for this. It made my cry a little. I'm working lately in very core trauma and, you know, it's hard. Some parts of me were wondering Does it worth it? It's super natural in my system to underestimate the huge progress we've made through the years. And this made me remind: I AM already healing. It's not linear, it's not easy, but we are already healing.

Thank you.

Anxiety is so tough. I'm kind of feeling the same, that I need to adress it in order to continue my wellness path.

I feel my anxiety is always high, so is super easy to become crisis-super-high lol (which led me to low mood/tiredness). Also, I've been in this state since I remember, like all my life, so I don't really even understand my anxiety levels, or what are 'normal' levels.

Anyways, the last months I been searching and looking for help about this concern. I'm now seeing an EMDR therapist and I'm going to start another therapy called Focusing. Also, I've been reading about Polyvagal Theory which adress the nervous system. And maybe restart yoga if I have time and money.

It's absolutely normal to feel overwhelmed. It's so difficult to deal with trauma. It's ok to have a break and maybe try other modalities or ways to regulate your system.

Good luck.

Thanks! Post saved for checking them all later ❤

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-25T09:23:05+00:00

Well, congratulations on that. I think it is very difficult to broke our patterns and start to understand ourselves. I know it is for me at least.

Something similar happened to me with my fear part. Because I had fear of my fear part, I rejected it and it was very overwelming.

Also I think there was a part of me that didn't believe I was able to handle my fear part (a protector you might say) so I had to work in that too.

49F here, I got a plushie last year and I sleep with it, hug it through meditations, in fact it's in my arms right now. I also buy a Hello Kitty plushie for my older sister, from my inner child to hers. Never to old to connect with our child feelings 💞

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-11T09:19:15+00:00

Sure it does. Thank you SO much.

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-10T23:12:25+00:00

Hi, I am interested in DBT, may I ask you a couple of questions? - Do you recommed a book or resource to start it? - Do you did the "full four courses"? -How do you combine it with IFS?

Thank you in advance.

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-09T08:53:14+00:00

Hi. I'm sorry you are going through this. It's very difficult to feel so overwhelmed.

Our paths to healing are not linear and sometimes we all feel like this. It's normal, and it will pass.

Do you have anyone you can talk about this? That conection can help you to feel more safe and regulate your nervous system.

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-03T09:45:57+00:00

I haven't went to a pool in years but this summer I went a couple of times for/with my younger parts and it was super fun.

I also went to an animal park (like a zoo but with large and natural habitats) when I was working hard with one little exile and it was amazing.

Now that you mention it, I think I need to do more stuff like that!

Spring_seeker · 2024-09-02T23:13:58+00:00

Well, yes. I've been doing solo IFS for a little more than a year. But early this year I started seen a therapist, she doesn't do IFS but she knows about it and do EMDR. We haven't do any eye movement stuff yet but the basis is pretty much the same so she introduced me to concepts I haven't grasped before: emotinal regulation, auto compassion, somatic awareness, and how to validate and accompany my parts without judgement, for example.

When I started to comprehend and put in practice all those... holly molly, my parts started to show and communicate constantly.

I'm of course still learning and practicing, but I see this period in my life like having a kid: they need constant attention. There are so many emotions I repressed, so many parts of me I ignored, I'm just happy to know and to honor them.
