In this session we meet Kristen who explores how earlier experiences changed her relationship with her body. We discover how a younger Part of her continues to feel confused about the body given the conflicting messages. We discover how hard this Part worked to try to be good in order to meet her need for connection. Kristen builds a relationship with this Part in session and helps her to heal.

WHAT I NOTICED…
I had a Part who really resonated with the confusion of the young Part and the mixed messages she received growing up. In order to remain curious, I reminded myself that although there are parallels, I don’t know Kristen’s unique experience. This helped me move from a more empathic position (I am this) to a compassionate one (I’m here with this).
There was a flow to this session with lots of Self Energy available in both mine and Kristen’s systems. I noticed a lot of trust in her and her Parts in the process.
WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY…
At the end when checking in with the Part who had initially been scared of the young confused Part, I would have preferred to have spent more time developing a connection with Self before exploring the partnership going forward.
3 WORD SUMMARY...
Flow, freedom & connection.

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.
