This video was very helpful and I especially benefitted from your pointing out that the brain is flexible and can heal as it forms new pathways. There is much stubborn resistance from my Protectors and hopelessness from Exiles - that's why I look forward to working with you in the new year!
@Persephone9ish Me too. Meanwhile you might want to see if the parts that are critical of/get frustrated with the stubborn protectors can maybe soften back a bit so that you can appreciate those protectors for how determined they are to look after you.
Thank you Derek, for all of your you tube videos. They are very insightful and well made, I have been becoming more aware of my different parts and am looking forward to talking with them.
Thanks for saying that - as a therapist I couldn't ethically go back to using methods that don't have the respect for the whole system as well as the ability to facilitate true healing... my hope is that the "Working with your Own System" series will help people to be able to understand and use the techniques.
I've undergone this treatment for over three years now, and once you understand how to use these techniques it is almost impossible to go back to regular therapies which are not as holistic and healing.
