Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Today we’re going to do something a little different. We’re going to do an exercise from Internal Family Systems called “Mapping your Parts”. In IFS we come to see our different feelings, inner voices, thoughts, urges or habits as “parts” that interact like an internal family. Because when we can see them clearly and learn to listen to them, our parts can start to work together for our good. This exercise can help you when you’re internally conflicted, or have a difficult decision to make, or when you keep reacting to a situation in a way that you don’t like or understand. IFS is a respected treatment modality for working through trauma or PTSD or Childhood Trauma. Your parts can give you a lot of insight into what’s going on. 00:00 IFS Trauma Healing: How Mapping Your Parts Brings Clarity 01:06 No Bad Parts: Every Part Has a Good Intention 02:52 IFS Mapping Your Parts–Step by Step 03:05 Step 1: Prepare for the Exercise 03:41 Step 2: Identify One Part 06:16 Step 3: Get to Know This Part with Curiosity 07:11 Step 4: Let the Self Lead 07:58 Step 5: Repeat for a Few More Parts 08:54 Step 6: Heal Trauma with IFS Self Leadership 10:44 Personal Example: Mapping My Perfectionist Part 13:00 Mapping Your Parts—Don’t Rush It Looking for affordable online counseling?
