Time to switch roles with our parts

Are we (or some of our parts) ever really frustrated with the behaviors our parts use to protect us? YES. Have these very same parts been protecting and helping us our whole lives, ensuring we survive and can move forward in life? ALSO YES. Our parts have been doing their best to make sure we can keep going, and holding all our hurts along the way as well. Some parts hold pain and shame, others hold responsibility, others are holding the burden of needing to protect us from our worst fears. Self can help absolve parts of these fears, and neutralize trauma. This is a natural process and feels effortless when we are in Self. As we get to know our parts, Self can now turn around and have the energy and love the parts need in order to return the favor.
