Have a Healthier Conversation with Yourself

First, have you seen the movie Inside Out? The one where the people have all these internal characters—Anger, Sadness, Joy, Disgust, Fear—speaking to one another?

Conscious of it or not, we constantly have different parts speaking to us. They each have their own unique personality and fears. When stressed, our parts speak louder and more incessantly. Parts may be emotions like the ones in Inside Out, or they may also be thoughts, physical sensations, and bodily reactions.

Parts Work

Did you know we’re all composed of different parts?

I’m not talking like leg and arm parts, but parts within our soul. How about this. You know when you say something out of character—perhaps you yell at someone—and you say, “Sorry, I wasn’t being myself back there?” Well, I’d agree and disagree with you.

Yes, that wasn’t really you. The core you. That was just a part of you coming out.
