Misc links I often send people to

• The Sensitivity Cycle and Nourishment Barriers – this is a concept from Hakomi, and it’s useful to explore when you have a barrier to taking in something you need. The four barriers are the barriers to knowing oneself or having clarity, taking action, being satisfied, or relaxing.
• TypeinMind – this is where I send people to figure out their MTBI type (like ENFP) based on their cognitive function stack.
• Unblending in IFS – unblending is then you ask an overwhelmed part to hold their own feelings so you can work with them without them overwhelming you with their feelings. It’s the foundation of parts work.
