Meeting yourself with Parts Work and Soul Retrieval

Updated: Nov 24, 2024

What Is Parts Work?

At its core, parts work is based on the idea that we’re not one singular identity but rather a collection of subpersonalities, each with its own desires, fears, and motivations. These parts often form in response to life events, especially during childhood, as a way to help us adapt and protect ourselves.

For example:

  • A Protective Part might show up as perfectionism, trying to keep you safe by avoiding mistakes.

  • A Wounded Part could carry feelings of shame or fear, rooted in past experiences of rejection or hurt.


Parts work acknowledges that every part has a positive intention, even if its actions sometimes feel counterproductive - the purpose of a personality is always to keep us safe. The goal, therefor, is not to “get rid” of difficult parts but to understand and integrate them, allowing your inner system to work in harmony.


What are the benefits of Parts Work?

Parts works offers a compassionate solution to back and forth internal conflicts you may experience. If you jump between wanting to be productive and wanting to watch tv all day or loving a parent then hating a parent, Parts Work recognizes that these personalities are at conflict and are acting out a lose lose scenario where the only solution they see is that one may get what they want for a while, at the expense of the other, until the pendulum shifts in the other direction. By facilitating a conversation between theses parts, a third option that acknowledges and supports the needs of both may be found. As a result, you will find your self in a life with less resistance and hesitation - with a clear path that all of you says yes to.
