The Hidden Parts in Us Sabotaging Our Lives
Ever feel like a part of you is feeling a certain emotion towards you? You aren't alone.
We create certain parts within our psyche or personality in managing our past wounds or traumas. The goal is not to get rid of these parts, rather to integrate them within us through understanding and compassion.
A method for getting in touch with a part would be to follow whatever emotion you are feeling in the moment and following it's trails to reach the part of you which feels it.
For example, you might often be feeling angry or upset at yourself for doing something which you didn't intend to do. Instead of just believing that you are angry or upset at yourself and that's the end of the story, you could get curious and feel into it. And try to see which aspect or part of you feels this anger or sadness. Within, you could try to listen to and understand this part gently and compassionately in order to find out why this part of you feels the way it is feeling. If you curiously enough follow it, it would reveal exactly why it is feeling the way it is feeling and reveal a reason. If you patiently show this part that whatever it is feeling and for whatever reason its reason, it is valid... it would start to soften up. Our internal parts just want to be seen and heard in whatever they are feeling. Once it is fully seen and heard, it would slowly let go of that anger or any other emotion it has been carrying within you. This is healing at its finest.
You could do this with any kind of emotion or a mix thereof. The key is to not judge the feeling or the aspect of us which feels, rather to hear and see it. And in doing so, we slowly but surely start becoming whole again.
Hopefully, this helps ❤️
