Understanding Self
Looking at unblending from our parts to let the self come through and utilize the calm, curiosity. To learn more about the struggles of the parts from the seat of consciousness. This is what I understand as the parallel role of the inner child reparenting technique that John Bradshaw details in his book, “Homecoming”.
This guidance from our seat of consciousness instead of just witnessing the events. Along with, actually engaging with the situation at hand that the parts struggle with. This is what I understand is unblending from the parts to reveal the self in action. Noticing that the parts are unburdened enough to trust. In order to let the self take over is part of the healing process of childhood trauma.
Allowing permission to oneself to take care of oneself as if they were their own parent is the key to inner child reparenting and the self compassion internal work that is so essential in the moment. Learning strategies to take care of oneself through this inner child reparenting or the self in action as Dr Richard Schwartz states in “No Bad Parts” is part of the healing process of past trauma.
