Holistic Hypnosis and Parts Integration

Holistic Hypnosis sometimes uses a technique in which the individual is seen to consist of a core Self surrounded by an assortment of "parts", sub-personalities, or aspects of who you are. These "parts" are like aspects of a single comprehensive personality. These "parts" are usually somewhat autonomous. In other words, they act as if they have a mind of their own. Some of these "parts" are stronger and more dominant than others. The less dominant ones often carry important feelings and are suppressed by their more dominant counterparts.

Different "parts" of you are responsible for whatever patterns keep occurring over and over again in your behavior. "Parts" can often be in conflict and become polarized against other "parts", keeping you from accomplishing your goals. It can seem like they are stuck in the past or that they have stopped speaking to each other. According to parts theory, polarization between "parts" causes conflict and often results in confusion, indecision, sabotage, or other negative behavior patterns.

Have you ever been ambivalent or conflicted in how you feel? For example, while I might be angry, I might also be afraid to say so. I can hold both feelings at the same time. We can even go on to meet that angry "part" and find out what is making it angry and what will soothe it. Parts language is a way of talking about conflicted feelings that promotes empowerment and perspective.

All 'parts" exsist for their positive intentions and have been doing something very important for you. If a particular "part" is not giving us the information or co-operation we are looking for, then we need to build more bridges through acknowledgement, understanding, respect and empathy. By consciously appreciating these "parts", these "parts" can now use a better way to support you in achieving your highest potential. Stay connected. Live in the present moment.

Growth and change involves blending the many dimensions of yourself to create a harmonious relationship with life, within and without, on all levels. As you experience this new awareness and aliveness, you will naturally experience a freeing of time and increased energy. Becoming less defensive and more flexible, with all of your parts working together to easily and effortlessly support you physically, emotionally and spiritually with compassion, grace, truth, love and gratitude.
