In this session we meet Elizabeth who gets in touch with a Part who yearns for life free from responsibility. She also supports a cluster of younger Parts to release what’s been held inside. Although there is no mention of her eating patterns, themes around freedom, play and safety emerge that directly relate to and influence these patterns.
WHO SHOWED UP...
-
A sensation around the eye (the sheet/net Part)
-
A Part who is frustrated as it feels blocked from making progress
-
A Part who mocks the Part who is frustrated
-
A Part that needs to rest
-
A Part who wants to shake of the peace (and the connection with Self)
-
A Part who feels guilty (believes it’s irresponsible to run off and do things)
-
A cluster of Parts with high energy
-
A Part that struggles with the high energy
-
10 and 15 year old Parts who want to feel safe to play and explore the world.
WHAT I NOTICED…
I noticed there was a lot of trust in Elizabeth’s Parts to guide the work. My analytical Part can sometimes struggle with the not knowing but for the most Part in this session it was able to hang back.
Around halfway through the session, we got to know the sheet/ net Part and I became aware of a therapist Part emerging. The tone of my voice changed, I moved out of my body into my head and became more focused on guiding the process in a particular way. This was led by a therapist based agenda rather than curiosity. It took some time before this therapist Part settled back.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
When I first asked the cluster of Parts if they wanted to release their energy, this was premature. There was not yet a strong enough connection yet between Elizabeth and these Parts. As they learned more about who was and Elizabeth’s role, the bond strengthened and they were able to release what they held.
Before the cluster released their energy I should have checked to make sure it was okay with everyone inside. Although here was a partial unburdening and some change, this process isn’t complete, there is more work to do with the 10 and 15 year old Parts.

HEY THERE!
In case we haven't met yet, I'm Celia, a therapist and course creator who helps smart, sensitive women all over the world do the deeper work so they can finally be at peace with food, their body and themselves.
I am super creative and love learning new ways to share what I know, so that women no longer have to carry the toxic stories they have been told about their bodies and about their place in this world. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than witnessing a woman heal and step into her light.
I also share my passion for the Parts Work approach with other therapists, so they too, can integrate this compassionate, holistic and deeply transformative approach into their practice.
