    We arenโ€™t allowed to appreciate or acknowledge nuance anymore… no matter your political persuasion. I canโ€™t stand all of the labeling and segregating into groups. Nuance is what makes like awesome.

    Iโ€™m being changed yet more than the change I was already going through.
    Much shedding and being stripped ( still ill – fifteen weeks and no income )
    I have left what was and I donโ€™t know how to talk about this yet – and Iโ€™m afraid to talk about it, and what I am seeing, in being changed in this way.

    • Allison Crow says: August 27, 2020 at 8:12 pm

      Jane Henfrey I feel for you. Iโ€™m so sorry you are going through this. Covid is no joke. My sis and her husband and child are still suffering physically and certainly emotionally. I send you so much love Jane.

    Being married to someone for almost 45 years cancelling each others vote has never been a major issue until this presidency. However, we’ve always been able to agree to disagree about politics. THIS year we’ve found common ground in politics about the pandemic (he believes in science) and the murder of George Floyd (he believes that was totally wrong and understands the protests). Thankful we can discuss issues of humanity about the presidents hate and lack of empathy/compassionate towards people in our country. Who knows I might change his political vote this year. Love you my soul sister

    It is all making me tired.

  25. Tammy Judd Jenny says: August 28, 2020 at 2:28 am

    Hereโ€™s how I see it this time. Humanity at large is throwing an adolescent temper tantrum. It is time to move into adulthood but instead of going there, it is rebelling against being responsible about anything, or discerning, or having to make mature decisions โ€“ such as accepting all human beings as equal parts of this human family, or that woman and men need to be treated equally, or that all classes have the same value no matter how much money they have โ€“ so instead humanity is throwing a collective temper tantrum. I have faith that humanity will reach maturity, embrace unity and find peace, but right now thereโ€™s just a heck of a lot of kicking and screaming going on.

      Tammy Judd Jenny I love you and this perspective.

Rather than labeling them as good or bad, approach them with curiosity. Each emotion is a part of your system trying to communicate something important about your needs. By listening with empathy to these parts, you deepen your understanding of yourself and build emotional intelligence. This practice of compassionate inquiry helps you strengthen your connection to your internal experience and empowers you to respond in a way that aligns with your true Self.

Overthink Much? I have this mental ideal that is Overthink Much?

I have this mental ideal that is embedded in my brain that I would be able to wake up and move forward with all my intentions.  I can see the clear direction and simple steps. I can envision all the "results" and the relief I make up those results would bring. 

One of the things I'm teaching myself to do - is try to write more from a professional voice for you instead of blab in inner processing out on this little white pop-up box. 

How's that working, Alli?

Buahahahah.... all my sweet and striving little parts trying to hold my life closely to that ideal.  I sense the squirm of these parts in my body even when my "thinking" is clear.

I now know this to be a signal for me to slow down and meet those parts with calm and curiosity. First, I must get past one of my sneakiest and most powerful partsโ€”my "awareness" part. This is not Awareness from my core self. 
In IFS - we call these self-like parts. The distinction is that the awareness part carries the burden and tone of "You're doing it wrong."

I asked my clients to notice the part of them that is "mindful and self-aware." What are the words that the voice uses? What is its tone? 

Is it SELF-calm and compassionate, deeply connected? Or is it cognitive and managerial with a motive? 

OOOOF...sending sweet love and compassion to all my thinking, overthinking, and trying-to-get-it-right-for-some-imaginaryideal-parts, and to yours. 

These parts need our somatic connection and attunement. They do not need judgment and alienation. They are scared and holding ages of fear and pain. 

Hello, inner managers, and judgers, and thinkers.  I see you.  I am here for you.  I see your skills.  You have done nothing wrong.  No matter what you feel, you deserve more love, not less.  Let's just breathe together, and then you can share your fears and concerns.  I am here for you.  I will not leave you.
This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left before they move across the state.
In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads" or say, "This part of me is really activated." Identifying and caring for emotionally reactive parts gives us the opportunity to respond with intention rather than impulsively. By practicing emotional regulation and internal partswork, you can create space between stimulus and response, allowing for more thoughtful and grounded decision-making.

For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and b For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and be insignificant.  For many, it's attached to conditional love.  IFS coaching helped me in places typical coaching couldn't.  It helped me compassionately understand and connect with these parts - and ya know what? They began to relax, build trust, and step back, leaving space for my natural creativity, grounded confidence, and clarity to lead in my work & life.  This is available to you.  #ifscoaching
