THERAPIST: (to Mary’s Self) Can you find the part that the Old Lady is protecting from being rejected or laughed at—the part that feels so hurt when that happens?

MARY: Yeah, it looks like me as a little girl.

THERAPIST: [checking for Self-differentiation] How do you feel toward her?

MARY: She looks so lonely. I wish I could cheer her up.

THERAPIST: [sensing that the Self is differentiated enough] Why don’t you try to? See how close you can get to her without being overwhelmed by her.

MARY: (after a long pause) She was kind of afraid of me at first and wouldn’t tell me how I could help her, but I just sat near her and told her that I would try to take care of her, and finally she crawled up into my lap.
