Picture your 'Self' as a calm centre and the busy parts as advisors gathered around it. This image comes from the IFS model. Spend ten minutes there, letting the parts speak without letting any one of them drive.

Write down what each loud part said and what the Self answered. Specific names if it helps: 'the planner', 'the perfectionist', 'the tired one'. One paragraph is enough.
