S2E3 | What Parts Prefer

Come join Christine, Hallie, and David as we share silly and serious reflections on life and inner relating.

In this episode, we respond to a listener's insightful quote from Bob Falconer, then David shares a post he's been working on about "What Parts Prefer."

Have you ever wondered how to tell if you are dealing with a target part from Self or from another part?

David shares his experience of the qualities of being that parts tend to prefer (The open, inviting nature of Self rather than the often controlling nature protective parts may have).

We finish by doing another fun speed round of responses to Hallie's Notes.

Please continue to share your notes in the comments, and we will respond in our next podcast episode!
