The following intervention, Resourcing a Part of the Self With a Team of Allies, has two steps and is designed to help a client develop a team of allies as a resource for a part. Tailor this process to meet the needs of the individual client. In the first step of this intervention, we have included statements to help finding an ally for the part. There is no set order to these statements; rather, you are looking for the missing need, and helping the client find an ally that can meet that need. The second step of this intervention is to help the client place each ally spatially around the part of the self. There may be a need to resource multiple parts of a client within this process. For example, you might develop a team of allies for a child part while simultaneously providing a team of allies for the adult part. Again, there is no set order to this script; rather, use these statements as examples of how to facilitate finding allies and forming a team.
