One of the parts (A) from last week in session was a vulnerable, scared part. She wasn't organized around a particular age but around certain feelings, so she spanned my life. I felt like A wasn't an ego state but was me, or closely intertwined with me. The other part (B) was one I couldn't find. T wanted this part to help Part A. But since I couldn't find B, this couldn't happen. Then he had me try having A help B, and this was a little easier, but still, I felt B really didn't exist. I want to know why T thinks there is a B
According to my T and IFS, the scared, vulnerable part is just a PART, not all of you. Not your Self. You're not always scared and vulnerable! B is probably a stronger part who CAN help A, the scared, vulnerable part. I don't understand why he then switched it to A helping B. You're right. You just have to ask your T to clarify what he meant, especially who he sees as part B.
Thanks for this!
