S2 E2 | A Live IFS Session: Hallie Guides David

Hallie guides David in welcoming what is alive in him, which organically leads to the witnessing, redoing, retrieving and offering of secure attachment to a young, vulnerable part.

This is a masterclass in how honoring every part naturally leads to parts relaxing and allowing Self to attune lovingly to whatever arises.

If you have parts who feel embarrassed to cry in front of others, parts who have theories that want to be heard, or parts who take you out completely when approaching something vulnerable, they will feel seen and less alone watching this episode.

I loved this session so much and think you will, too.
