My T and I do "part work" all the time. It is facinating to me that there are spaces with in me that are so different. The most recent strongly noticeable movement by another part was when I showed my husband my cuts in therapy. After I showed him I dissociated severely then when I came back I was about 4 years old and needed to cuddle into him. He put his arm around me and continued talking to Catherine about self injury and stuff. After about 5 minutes of close body contact I could feel the child slip away quietly and I could become an adult again. It was kinda cool to witness it from a place of understanding. Not all that long ago I wouldn't know what was happening. I would have just felt scared and injured. Instead, the "part work" we had done let me view it as just needing nurturing that I hadn't gotten when I was that age and I was able to get that nurturing at that session.
