It was so helpful to pause and reflect on the manager, firefighter and exile connection in my system, and I could soften each of them once I shifted into understanding and having compassion for the painful emotions and memories deep inside from past. I paused and journaled throughout the meditation, which was helpful for mapping. Thank you.

Really inspiring meditation. Who knew I'd become the warden of a madhouse? All jokes aside, I very much enjoyed the option of getting to know my parts, and it's illuminating to know that the me I am now can be such a great source of comfort.

I did this meditation a few weeks ago, and it was life-changing for me. It separated some parts that I had lumped together. It was doooo helpful to understand the firefighter was actually protecting a wounded part. So actually identify her, spending time with her, and healing her has been so wonderful! Thank you so much for this meditation. I just spent an hour re-listening to all of the IFS meditations I've done in the past to find this one!!

I met an exile I was not familiar with and she provided insights into behaviours I was working on. Thank you Tim 🙏❤️

Thank you. This was a helpful guide to get to know some active parts within myself, and to gain insight into their stories and needs. I feel better able to name and accept their places in my system, and more compassionate towards them.
