Importantly, we must remember that, as therapists, we have parts too. At times, our clients’ parts can trigger parts in us. When this occurs, we might approach therapy from a part of our self, rather than from our adult self. For example, if we have parts that are phobic of the emotions that a client’s parts carry, we might collude with the client’s defenses in an attempt to keep these emotions at bay. Therapy might begin to feel stagnant, and we may feel stuck with a client. In this case, we can utilize supervision or consultation to explore any countertransference dynamics the client is evoking within us and identify whether we are blending with a part of our self.

The rest of this chapter offers healing practices that introduce clients to parts work and that help them identify and deepen awareness of parts, anchor the adult self, differentiate from a part, find resources for a part, and repair a missing experience.
