Get to know your dragon 🐉
This is the extension piece of Parts Integration practise desribed in the web’s section Practises
I advise you to build connection with a protective part of yours by firstly sending a signal of wanting to genuinely understand it.
questions that can help to get to know your protector better:
What are you trying to protect me from? What are you avoiding?
Do I really need this protection? Why?
What do you think would happen if you didn’t protect me?
What are you afraid will happen if you stop protecting me?
Once you got to know your protector better - then focus on building trust
What can I do to make you feel safe enough to let the guards down?
How can we work together to find a healthier way to handle this?
What do you need from me to trust that I can handle these situations on my own?
How can we transform this protective energy into something that helps us move past this protectedness?
What positive outcomes can we achieve if we work together?
Also don’t forget to be grateful and acknowledge its efforts that are rooted in good will.
Thank you for protecting me 🩷
What would you like me to know about your efforts?
How has your protection helped me in the past?
How can I honor the work you’ve done while moving towards greater freedom and integration?
These questions only serve as a helping aid.
I encourage you to ‘trust your gut’ when having these talks with your protective part as your system knows which questions are needed to be asked in order to build your way towards needed clarity and thus - resolution.
