Renowned Couples Therapist Esther Perel has a great description of our personality parts, shared in an email here:
Our identities are intertwined with our experiences of belonging. Have you noticed how different parts of yourself become activated with different people and places? At home, I’m a mother and a partner. At work, I’m a therapist. In New York, I’m an immigrant. In my native Belgium, I’m an expat coming home for a visit. I speak nine languages and in every one a different part of me is expressed. Whenever my American and Belgian friends meet, they often compare notes. Long lasting friendships bring the many parts of us into alignment, grounding us in continuity.
When we work with clients accepting and acknowledging we have many parts – Resources as they are known in Resource Therapy, is like a breath of fresh air. You can literally see your client’s face when you have worked to resolve a wounded part’s unmet needs for safety, sanctuary, and empowerment.
Spontaneous change results in a wider array of responses and choices in life. So wonderful to be a part of the parts therapy revolution!
