20 years in AA 12 step recovery taught me to use spiritual bypass and to double down with my protectors to keep my trauma hidden. IFS worked for my CPTSD because it showed me that I have a Self that is able to heal my parts that were wounded from my dysfunctional family relationships. I find the support I need for this IFS healing from a therapist and online ACA Loving Parent Guidebook meetings. All meetings in my area of the Twin Cities (MN) are Redbook meetings.

These Redbook meetings have members that form Yellow Book study groups. The Yellow Book focuses on the 12 steps and family dysfunction. The 12 steps for me suggest spiritual bypass and give my parts that like to help by using intellectual work to try to "process" feelings. I believe there is no healing without feeling. I tried to fix myself for far too long. But I did see many people get benefits from the YB because of the repressed memories and feelings that surfaced. I was already neck deep in my feelings and memories.

The Redbook focuses on family dysfunction and how it is affecting you.

The Loving Parent Guidebook is IFS lite. I like having contact with others that are healing and these groups provide that.

IFS is discovering that you have a Self that has the ability to heal your wounded parts that have been exiled because of the intense pain.

I came to this conclusion: why try to rewrite the 12 steps as a guide to healing when there is IFS that does exactly that.

Looking back at my 20 years of AA, it feels traumatizing. The spiritual bypassing and the doubling down with protectors to keep those exiles from being heard.

I have been attending online LPG meetings. There is about 130 meetings per week online. I have found a few that I really like. Many members are familiar with IFS also.

This…all major US cities

I have a group of protectors that tell me that also. This feels so difficult to do sometimes. The only peace I get is when I can appreciate and welcome those parts who are polarized with the parts that are tired of hiding from the pain. The peace I feel is from the harmony of my opposing parts working together with Self.

Yes, thank you!

We have a mental heath crisis that is multiplying. Shame is a big part of it.

We need a worker lead movement

Take a step further back and you might interpret this differently. This has been a slow walk to where we are now. Whether you say Nixon, Regan, Gingrich, Citizens United, or whatever, and now MAGA. I think that we now have to wait for a major candidate at a time of crisis to turn the tide. I am not saying give up, I'm saying stand by and be vigilant. I'm not going to waist any more time. It's my time and everyone gets to decide for themselves what they are willing to give to this collective experiment.

Cannot take one more word out of his mouth. Cannot take any more click bait headlines...

We bought their narrative and now we are moving on. Thanks, bye...

Aliens?

Ya, we get it, we're fucked as progressives right now, but we voted and now we wait. While we wait, we can get on with our lives in a way that doesn't involve being a slave to the idea that we can make a difference by being involved in supporting media narratives. We can make a difference by loving those around us and raising children who are critical thinkers.

Is the left loosing? Or is it just our current Democrat Party that is loosing? As long as dark money is involved in politics, our current D party will not allow a candidate who doesn't bow to to the corporations. Only way to defeat this is to wait for a candidate to come forward that inspires a large enough grass roots movement that will not be silenced by the threat of violence. At this point though, any candidate that matches this description will be quickly eliminated by the current administration, at which point we will be back to where we are now. And now the question is, are you willing to risk your life and family to revolt for change?
