Greetings and welcome.
In today's video,
We're going to understand your protector parts.
In this short video,
We're gonna start to bring awareness to your protective parts.
These are the parts of you that try to keep you safe.
And they may show up has overthinking,
Perfectionism,
Avoidance.
You know,
Or even shutting down.
And As we're going through this,
I'm going to invite you just to breathe.
To allow things to just come to the surface as they need to.
Or come to your awareness.
And I'm gonna invite you just to think about something that you've been avoiding or something that may feel just a little bit difficult.
And on the spectrum,
Maybe a two or three,
But not necessarily an eight or nine on your subscale.
And just begin to notice.
What parts of you is starting to show up around that,
Around this avoidance or around this topic of something being difficult?
And as you are tuning in,
As you're paying attention and you're starting to listen.
Heart might even be telling you,
Oh,
Don't do it.
Wait.
Stop.
You might get this wrong.
You might fail at this.
Or it might say something else,
A different variation of that.
But the messaging is kind of clear.
It wants you not to go there.
It wants you not to focus in on that.
And what I would like to invite you to think about is that The part is not the problem.
The part is trying to protect you.
It has a good intention.
Even though it may not be landing for you,
That it's a good intention,
It may not feel that way,
But it does have the desire to keep you safe.
It has that desire.
To keep you from harm.
And so I wanna invite you to consider.
Instead of pushing it away.
To see if you can say internally,
I see you.
I'm hearing you.
And I am beginning to understand.
That you're trying to help.
Because you may not fully be understanding it.
Right?
But you might.
Be getting the notion or an inclination that maybe is trying to look out for you.
Even if you're not on board with his tactics 100%,
But you're sensing that it does have a good intention.
That there's something more here.
For the part as it's looking out for you.
And just as you're starting to do that,
Notice what's happening inside your body.
When you start to give it a little bit of the benefit of the doubt,
When you start to acknowledge that maybe it is trying to help you,
When you're starting to recognize that it's not really the problem,
It might really be looking for a solution.
Stay here.
Even if it doesn't feel that way.
Notice if there is a softening in your system,
A softening in your body,
Where you might feel a little bit more spaciousness.
Where you're noticing some subtle shifts.
Your protectors don't need to be forced away.
They need to be understood.
They desire to be understood.
They desire to be seen,
To be heard,
To be witnessed.
To be acknowledged.
And as you are.
Allowing this to unfold in your system.
Breathe.
And see if you can.
Carry this information with you.
If you can embrace it even a little bit,
Because we can embrace things in micro doses.
We don't have to swallow the whole thing.
We can actually say,
Okay,
I might be willing to entertain this 10% or 2%.
Even a half a percent.
Just see how that lands in your system.
And if it feels okay,
If it feels right with your system.
Can you consider?
Protection is not the enemy.
Protection is not the enemy.
It's a doorway.
And if you can.
Can you put it together with your part?
Your part has been trying to protect you.
And that protection is not the enemy.
It's a doorway.
It's an opportunity for you to be able to get to know your parts a little bit more,
A little bit better,
For them to be seen,
To be witnessed,
To be viewed in a different light.
And if you can.
Wonderful.
If you can't and you're not there yet,
That's also wonderful.
See if you can just extend a little bit of thanks,
Appreciation to your part that showed up to let you know that it's here.
And if it feels comfortable to you.
Can you let it know?
That you'll come back and visit again.
Only if it feels right to you.
Thank you so much for joining.
Bye bye for now.
