Session Description:
Protective parts can take on two roles: proactive and reactive. Protective pro-active parts (Managers) are goal-focused with the aim of anticipating and preventing pain. Manager behaviours can include inner criticism, controlling self/others/the environment, perfectionism, risk avoidance, caretaking, worrying, striving, pleasing, denial, displacement, projecting and intellectualising. Reactive protective parts (Firefighters) get activated after a young inner part (Exile) has been triggered. They try to distract or distance the client from pain. Examples of Firefighter behaviour include dissociation, fantasising, somatising, anger/rage, addictions, eating disorders, panic, obsessions, compulsions, hoarding, NSSI and suicidality.
In this module you will learn how to establish a trusting relationship with both proactive and reactive parts while exploring their fears and address concerns. You will learn how to acknowledge how these parts are trying to help the client and the importance of seeking permission to attend to the Exiles through a range of therapeutic strategies.
