Here's what some people said afterwards:
"I liked paying attention to myself and inviting the parts to be present. This gave me a feeling of curiosity about what was there and a feeling of permission and openness."
"[I] Enjoyed it and found it lovely especially the breathing warm loving energy out to all of my parts at the end."
Based around Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, our idea is to offer short, gently structured meditations to provide a therapeutic space for anyone interested in building good relationships with different parts of themselves. Everyone is invited to be on screen with their cameras on, but all participants stay on mute, and this means that anyone can come along - therapists, therapy clients and members of the general public.
As we are also EMDR therapists, the meditations will at times invite the integration of Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) using self administered taps as part of enhancing the positive experience of the session. We welcome you bringing pens, pencils, crayons, your journal or your tablet to the session for writing or drawing if this feels good to you. Sometimes, we'll actively allocate specific time for journaling during the reflection, although this will always be entirely optional, as will be the tapping. The meditations are all designed to strengthen participants’ internal resources and to provide space for the integration of those resources so that they become more readily available for access within daily life.
