The experiential created space to listen more closely to what protectors are afraid of and to practice relating to them in a way that helps them feel safer.

As you watch the replay, see if you can stay open and present.

Notice how your parts respond.

You might ask:

  • What stands out to me here?
  • Where do I feel hesitation or openness?
  • What part of me is reacting right now?

You don’t need to figure anything out.

Just notice.

That’s where the work continues.
