Conferences/Courses / Free event: Tapping World Summit
February 07, 2023, 04:26:31 PM
This year's Tapping World Summit starts February 27th. Some of the sessions look interesting. There's one on how to quiet the inner critic, for example, and others on anxiety and insomnia.

You can sign up here: https://www.thetappingsolution.com/blog/tapping-world-summit-2023/.

I'm glad you find it helpful to read about my IFS work, CrackedIce. That helps me in turn, because my parts feel more heard and witnessed, which they appreciate. If you're wondering about giving IFS another try, it would be well worth your therapist reading Frank Anderson's Transcending Trauma book. It's aimed at therapists, and goes into the nitty gritty of applying IFS to complex trauma. I hope you have a good week too! :hug:

Thank you for your outrage, San, and the validation and support. I appreciate the bug spray  ;D :hug:.

Everything is still going well with the parts I've been working with.

The researcher part who spontaneously unburdened is doing brilliantly, and loves her new role.

The tiny part with the fairy wings is doing well. She knows she's plenty good enough being a girl.

The polarised parts seem settled and fine. The part who was feeling isolated likes the increased connection with my Self, and the other part is less isolated as a result.

Just a quick note on the energetic boundaries CrackedIce mentioned. It's worth looking for videos and courses by Wendy De Rosa. She does a lot of guided meditations related to healing and clearing energetic boundaries, particularly where they've been compromised due to early trauma. I find them very effective.

Oh Not Alone, I feel such compassion for the part with the old, deep message. I wonder if mentioning what you've said to T might help that part.

You are worthy, Not Alone, and I see angels wrapping you in wings of love and light.

Big hugs and much love.

Thank you, Not Alone, for your outrage on my behalf, it helps. I also appreciate your care and support. :grouphug:

I'm so glad you liked reading about the interactions I've had, Hope. The parts and my Self love the hugs. :grouphug:

All is still going well. The parts I've been working with seem settled. Some of them have faded into the background and are far less prominent. The researcher part who spontaneously unburdened has been doing brilliantly.

I've had good results from being in my Self more. Something happened that is usually triggering, but this time it wasn't particularly. I've also been getting on well with my parents without parts getting activated. I think my increase in Self energy has meant their Self energy has also been stronger, so they've had fewer activated parts as well.

I relate to the "don't leave marks". I get how triggering things are right now.

I don't know if this is relevant or helpful, Not Alone, but I remember you posting here when T told you H was avoidant. I'm glad your niece gave you affirmation about the rest of the family.

I'm glad you're doing better now. There with you, sending support and care regardless of internet. :grouphug:

That sounds awful, M&H. I'd feel anxious and vulnerable in that situation as well, along with all sorts of other things.

I agree with Armee. You have every right to set boundaries, protect yourself and keep yourself safe.

Is there anything you can do to bring comfort to yourself? A hot drink or a soft blanket perhaps? :hug:

Rainy, when I first started bonding with the cat, I used to think of you and yours. It's lovely having her around, and she's currently curled up asleep on me. :hug:

I slept better than normal last night. I took a Bach Flower Remedy blend before going to bed, which I think helped.

I had a nightmare about where I used to work. The events in the nightmare didn't happen in real life, but the underlying misogyny was. When I was alert enough to know I was dreaming, I realised that it felt related to parts. I thanked the parts for sharing with them and told them I was there with them.

I've checked in with the parts I'm currently working with, and everything seems fine.
