“What are you noticing now?” he asked as tears spontaneously came up, and I felt myself fighting back anger and tightness in my body.

I closed my eyes and went inside myself, saying aloud to Derek, “I don’t want to be so hateful toward my mother. She had a hard life and a difficult childhood; she is in pain. I just want all of it to go away.” I was trying not to cry but I was choking on the words.

“Natasha,” he directed, “ask this part holding sadness if it can pull back a little bit, not to overwhelm you. If it takes you over, it will kick you out and then you can’t witness it and be with it.” The part seemed to be responding to Derek. The intense, pleading sadness retracted a bit, and I could feel some calm restoring. “Ask this part if it’s willing to allow you to go to the anger, to get to know it.” I could feel the yes from this part, and I recognized it as the sorrow and remorse I would feel in deep waves after my mother would leave my house and I would sit at the table and cry, upset with myself for not being more appreciative of her love toward the kids, her support of me. As soon as I acknowledged the sadness, the anger returned. I could sense it in my fists.
