Amit’s Reviews > No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model > Status Update

The concept of tormentor, which is experiences, situations, places, people which torment you, but are a mentoring opportunity by having parts stand up.
Then exercises of advanced mapping and working with triggers both kind of go hand in hand. And a checkin with advice to beware of turmoil due to this inner work and suggestions of nature walks, epsom salts, yoga and other relaxation

On place where you are one with everything and everyone. And working on yourself and on/with outside world, throughout

Fire drill aka trigger person meditation

More on Self, the sore us, in action, getting space, leading. The exercise of Path and advise on not accessing exiles without a trained practitioner

Healing and transformation chapters including visualization meditations such as “the path” and on which meditations help and which mask parts, some notes on good effects of ketamine studies

On how parts take on roles of exiles, managers or firefighters. Exiles are those which are kept away, locked, not looked at, hidden. Managers try to keep yourself busy. Firefighters numb or avoid, which will have you drinking alcohol or even self harm or escapist spirituality.
One has to go through parts playing this protector roles to allow exiles to reveal, return.

More exercises including meditation on a dilemma coming up or in the past, seeing it from perspective of parts, it was quite revealing for me. That's one of the strong suit of this book, each concept is followed by some practical exercise to see for yourself, how real these concepts are and how unique they are for each of us. The parts, their burdens and how certain behaviors and conflicts come via that.

Exercise 2, mapping your parts. A revealing drawing exercise. To be also used at decision times, etc

Exercise one, getting to know a protector, which is a meditation to explore sensations and thoughts and find which part it's coming from of you. It's wonderful and conversation and waiting and discovering things which have been nascent or hidden but still affecting action. 4/4
