ADVICE

Facilitate Dialogue Between Polarized Parts

  • Do identify polarized parts (e.g., restrictor vs. binger) and value each side like separate family members.
  • Facilitate dialogue between them so they can negotiate coexistence instead of battling.
ANECDOTE

Diana Lets The Binger Speak

  • Diana agrees to work with her binger first and Richard guides her to locate it in her body and notice her fear of it.
  • The fear part gives permission to explore the binger when reassured it won't be allowed to take over.
INSIGHT

Hearing Reveals A Part's True Intent

  • When a part is heard and understood, its motivations emerge (e.g., the binger seeks freedom and to 'clear the path').
  • Reframing a part's intent reduces fear and opens possibilities for different roles.
