I felt almost like my parts were settled down for the night prior as I just did a breakwork sesh coming in. I felt the protector of my heart.. The one that usually sabotages me and keeps me out of overly stressful situations. Or relationships. He kept me acting crazy to scare off the crazy ones or mean.. Or burn a bridge so badly that it may never be crossed again. I guess I always knew it existed - just never liked the outcomes - felt sort of a learned behavior. Maybe mimicking a parent. No wonder I have felt so alone, and helpless, that parts used to be heavy to bare. Also saw my playful part when my doggo came to play. Not too worried about that one though. Thanks and very nice format. Keep thriving!

Your work has become my morning practice during an excruciating painful time in my life. On the difficult days (which are many of late) I put my AirPods in and your guidance helps me get out of bed and confront (or be with myself throughout) the day... minute by minute, hour by hour. I hope you'd consider creating a course for us here. Your approach is so simple and straightforward, which is what I really need when feeling so constantly overwhelmed. Anyway, thank you for your chosen work. Know that you have made a difference in my life. Amy

Calm and comforting voice. Great prompts. I like that it’s short and I pause if I need more time. Thankyou.

A little too shot. I need more instruction and time, but I feel like this is the right direction. Thank you.

I really could picture this part needing attention and feeling so neglected. I look forward to doing this again to get to know this part better. Thank you so much.
