From world renowned trauma expert . Understandably- suicidal parts terrify other parts within the person and other people outside. When we can truly understand the intentions of parts suggesting su***de, we can help them and support them so they don't have to be so extreme. Usually they just want the pain to stop, or from the limited perspective of the part- they want to give the person hope that if they really can't cope any longer, there is another option.

The first part of my 2 week trip is a retreat for therapists called 'Tending the Inner Field', held by Internal Family Systems trainer Cath Leith, and Yoga and Qi Gong Teacher, Maddie Goodwolf. Many clients ask "Don't you get drained hearing about people's problems all day, every day?" (I work 6 days a week most weeks). My answer is no, I absolutely love my job and find it a great honour to be trusted with the pain people hold, and support them to create a little space so they can hold their own pain with compassion. AND- having really strong self care practices is important too. So for the next 3 days, the learning is more about tending to my own parts that perhaps overcare, worry about clients or feel too much responsibility. Between the yoga and the teachings, there is plenty of time for reading, journaling, going for walks and relaxing.

Words and Picture from
"Welcome all your parts. Together, they create your inner rainbow.
We don’t go to art galleries to stare at blank canvases,
we go to see colour, texture, contrast, feeling.
We don’t go to the movies for a blank screen,
we go for movement, sound, emotion, story.
Yet somewhere along the way, spirituality and healing
got reduced to silence, stillness and 'being calm'.
But life isn’t meant to be blank or quiet all the time.
It’s meant to be alive.
Your anger has a hue.
Your grief has depth.
Your joy, your fear, your tenderness,
all of them paint the masterpiece that is you.
You don’t need to erase your parts to find peace.
You can welcome them home.
It takes more than the sun to make a rainbow,
it takes every part you already are,
including the rainy ones."
- Dr Laura Patryas

People Pleasing parts developed for a good reason. Usually we learnt it from a parent, or in response to a parent. However in adulthood, these parts prevent us from truly being Self Led.

A lovely message from trauma therapist Janina Fisher.
This is absolutely the key to EMDR and Internal Family Systems.
Trauma happens in isolation, alone. Healing happens when pain is witnessed and soothed and held.
