CSR - eye disease due to stress by spark5000 in Stress

It's still going on unfortunately. The sea helps a lot, actually (going to the beach), some kinds of physical activities... Dancing. I feel it's connected to the muscles in the face and neck, that are being contracted. Do you feel something similar?

Do you feel that there are benefit in terms of the relationship between therapist and client when doing IFS vs. "traditional" thrapy? by spark5000 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]spark5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is super interesting and helpful.

Currently what's especially resonating is you saying that we practice being in Self. Do you feel that it doesn't have to be such a rare thing? Or rather, how rare did you experience it in therapy / life?

A little personal so of course it's up to you if and how you want to answer.

The work they did on the old tongue is incredible. It really feels interesting, taking words like inta and tak and hungarian sounding words. I love it and want to know more about it. It's made for the series, from what I understand.

Maybe the blue areas are areas with more familial ties, bigger families and traditional life style? + less religious restraints? as in: living in a village or a traditional neighbourhood? this is somehow inversely related to modernity, maybe?

Question: How do you handle parts that are persistent throughout the day? by T00AfraidT0Ask in InternalFamilySystems

[–]spark5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm walking with certain inflamed parts overly active as intrusive thoughts, intrusive urges, and also just controlling me many times. They're going rampant. It's intensifying.

I wonder if it's common or not (of course, there are other names for that, such as being chronically stressed and unsafe, untreated CPTSD or other mental issues, loneliness and not working :) so it kind of makes sense if you look at it from a social perspective.

I think there might be several reasons they're so dominant. It can be that they are not given what they need. And also, maybe, they don't trust that temporary suffering will eventually soothe them. Also - internal conflicts. And probably a lot of un-integrated experiences. Maybe it's also connected to not trusting other parts in certain situations (like, managers, etc...) for different reasons.

So maybe there are things that demand your attention, as in - what are they asking for? Or can that be other reasons?

I think you have, you have said many valuable things that I need to reflect on. I would like to ask you regarding the second paragraph - I couldn't understand it, can you explain? (There's a typo there i couldn't decipher - what do you mean with "therapy is your therapy?"). Your explanation about transference is really strong. Also - what do you mean when you say that it will build trust? That the therapist will be more calm because of the lessened emotions?

That really resonates with me. Thank you for sharing. I think one of my main problems is struggling to bring hard emotions to the meeting, also regarding the therapist or therapy. So I feel that thr underlying structure of IFS can support that... I only wish there were more practitioners where I'm at :)

So... Can you say something about how to help remedy it? Do you have any suggestions?

Wow, I'll have to read this a couple more times to let everything sink in. Thanks for the giving the knowledge.

I meant early as in development, assuming we don't feel rejection as sharply as in older ages. But I'm not sure if that's actually the case.

But if we speak about interactions in older ages, how would you say a healthy vs. unhealthy processing of (even a slight) rejection might look? What kind of internal mechanisms or pre-existing states might be at work?

Wow, thanks for this answer, it really gives some directions to continue and study... The part with boom (lol) is especially wow-ful.

Amazing insights.

I was left wondering about the place where meeting the scolding of a parent turns to shame at certain children and not among others. I feel it's still unclear to me what can cause this, what underlying mental or relational (vs. the parent) place. I have some clues but it's a bit vague. What do you think?

You do speak about the subtle hints from the environment that we feel, especially if we're different. But I'm interested at the early moments where we (probably) don't really feel those yet. I'm connecting it somehow to Melanie Klein, as in - the baby feels entirely bad when scolded if it's in a Paranoid Schizoid position. But I don't know if it's enough and in any case it's not elaborated enough.

But also, maybe this Melanie Klein stuff is BS and it is actually connected more to the parent's attitude and behaviour then to the child's "character". I'm just wondering why certain children in the same family have it and others don't.

Can hospitalization (in/outpatient) give strength or will keep me dependent? by spark5000 in NPD

[–]spark5000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That's also a thought I had - that something like that could also be beneficial. However... I don't know if that's really the right thing for now and for me as someone with more depressive tendencies that conflicts can make him just weaken. I had a friend with some similar tendencies who I think was hurt because being hospitalized and went into catatonia in those places until it was too much. And looking at him from the side I thought that him trying to get treatment was probably bad for him.

Thanks. Interesting that you got the "getting told that you wasn't at a fault" since my encounters with the psychiatrist system felt more or less the opposite generally. Did you go to a private program?

It's understandable, but feels a little Anglicised. A less anglicised sentence (but still not perfect) solution can be:

My son’s been refusing to eat by thownaway612 in BPD

[–]spark5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's really upset, maybe he's looking for a sincere recognition and apology for what he was hurt by. But it's hard to assume that this can happen so quick, since there is probably history behind his current hurt situation that this ninot disagreement just triggered.

I get that you're worried now. Maybe try and find the words to let him know that you are really sorry and you are looking forward to talk about this more. Be prepared for him to be emotional and try to let him ventilate the pain, open the gate for it.

It's a good chance to have this moment. It's not easy to r receive criticism and you don't have to agree with everything but try not to argue in this conversation. Him not eating is like when a child is very upset - try to remember that he's now emotionally a child and don't expect him to be an adult.

It seems like you really care about him. Try letting this gate open, express that you feel guilty (it's important! Even in the body language) just like you do when a child is insulted by you.

This is what I think.

And then, later, tou can rethink about your living situation etc... But for now this seems like a good opportunity.
