The focus for this practice session will be:
Mediating Polarizations
This exercise supports you in mediating a conflict between two polarized parts – parts holding opposing beliefs, strategies, or impulses. These internal conflicts often leave you feeling stuck, torn, or confused. By facilitating a respectful dialogue between the parts, you can begin to ease tension and increase Self-leadership.
You’ll begin by choosing a mildly activating conflict and identifying the two dominant or extreme parts involved. Then, using a guided internal process, you’ll invite each part to share its fears, actions, and what it wants you to understand - while the other part simply listens.
After both have spoken, each part will be invited to reflect on what it now understands about the other and what concerns would need to be addressed for cooperation to be possible.
Throughout the process, you’ll monitor your Self-energy using a 1 - 5 scale. This dialogue not only reduces internal tension but builds mutual respect and trust.
Important Details:
The group meets from 5:00 to 6:15 PM Pacific on Wednesdays via Zoom Video Conferencing.
The main room will be opened at 2 minutes before the hour so we can start the meditation on the hour.
The meeting will be locked by 5:10 PM (Pacific) so plan to join before that time. Those who lose internet connection after this time may not be able to rejoin. So be sure you have a strong internet connection so we don’t lose you.
Parts Work Practice sessions are never recorded.
No AI bots or AI recording please. Keep this space safe and confidential.
We introduce people to a self-healing journey using The Internal Family Systems model (IFS).
This is not a therapy group, nor is it a 12-Step group. Parts Work Practice is not sponsored or endorsed by the IFS Institute and is not intended to replace IFS training. In this no-cost practice group, we discuss and facilitate the practice of exercises we have created to help you practice connecting with and getting to know your parts.
What you can expect
We meet for 75 minutes via Zoom video conferencing.
One of the Co-leaders or Practice Assistants will guide us in a Parts Check-in meditation.
After a few announcements, IFS-trained volunteers will facilitate interactive exercises in breakout rooms. During the last 15 minutes we will gather again in the main room so you can share insights and ask questions.
Here is the Zoom invitation for our meeting.
