What I’ve started working on in the last month is “part work.” EVERYBODY has different parts. It’s a human thing. The type of therapy that works w parts is called Internal Family Systems (IFS)- and it’s whole objective is to uncover and unburden all these different parts of you. Each one is protecting something inside of you.
Just a recent example: My T asked if I thought I should dive deep into the trauma work (not a good idea), and I was like “part of me wants to, and part of me doesn’t.” Instead of thinking I am less than whole bc I have these conflicting parts, she becomes curious about them.
ANYWAY, I am rambling. If any of this seems to be of interest to you, I recommend the book “No Bad Parts.” It is by the author (who’s name escapes me) who created IFS.
Sorry if this is intrusive in any way.

not intrusive at all. thank you for the info. i think in my bumbling-around-thinking-through-my-fingers I'm sorta saying the same thing, only in a just barely beginning to understand it kind of a way. what you're saying makes perfect sense and feels like my rudimentary beginnings of understanding are on the same road, just my thoughts are at the very beginning of that road, like, barely just turned onto that road, instead of partway down it. if that makes any sense. I appreciate you.
