Today we meet Daria as she gets to know her eating Part. There is a significant and meaningful connection made and we support this Part to heal.
Daria has some experience of working with her own system and the inner world of her Parts.
WHO SHOWED UP…
WHAT I NOTICED…
I suspect the Part who works really long hours has an impact on the system and on reflection I was surprised that neither me or Daria named this Part or explored the role of this Part. I’m curious how this Part is understood by her system.
When I asked Daria how she felt towards the Eating Part, she said “neutral”. I noticed an initial freeze response in my system and I couldn’t discern whether this was my own response or there was a resonance with her system. One of my therapist Parts took over and offered curiosity to Daria's system until I unblended from the freezing response. This Part was able to use the questions Daria had shared at the beginning of the session to support connection between Daria's self and her Part.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
Later in the session the Eating Part shared her fears of being kicked out. She had been working hard to be flexible so she could stay. This included changing her soothing behaviour from drinking to eating. There was an expectation held by the Part that she needed to be ‘good enough’ in order to stay connected. I could have been more supportive of the perspective that the Part didn’t in fact need to do anything to be able to be with Daria.
