Parts Therapy

Parts therapy is based on the reality that we all have different aspects of our personality that we use at various and appropriate times. We tend to wear certain hats that fit the occasion. My therapy persona is very different from the persona that I have when out with friends for dinner.

Sometimes these parts become conflicted with each other due to one part wanting a different desired outcome from the other part. As these parts are in the subconscious the behaviour created by them is too strong for any conscious input to have an effect.  In the hypnotic state they can be communicated with more easily emotional and intellectually in such a way that they can have agreement and come together for a desired outcome which is agreeable to them both. This may involve a release or forgiving of self or others.

As an instance a client once had a part which wanted to snack frequently so that it could give her pleasurable sensation. It was doing this because she brought pleasure to everyone around her but never gave time and pleasure to herself.

An inner part can be created through any situation that has threatened a person sense of self and autonomy, they always seek to keep a person safe yet because they are created by the unconscious mind they are never logical or rational all they want is a positive outcome for what that part believes that the positive outcome is. It never questions what it does it just does it.

When her motivating part which wanted to lose weight was communicated with her snacking part, terms of agreement where met and then the two parts were brought together, this then created inner balance and the client was able to achieve their goal without any inner upheaval. 

This is a deep process technique which has profound affects for creating positive change.
