Compassionate Parts Focusing- Traurige und verletzliche Anteile

On Tuesday our group meets again with *Compassionate Parts Focusing* - a unique combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy, focusing and Buddhist compassion meditation.
This time we're focusing on our **sad and vulnerable parts**.

First, in a meditation we connect with the **observing awareness** - or the empathic, compassionate and unencumbered self. We then create a consistent distance between the respective part (sad or vulnerable) and this observing self. We allow ourselves to fully perceive and feel the parts and their feelings - perhaps also to hear them, because we can give them a voice.
In the subsequent process we perceive **what these parts trigger in us**, i.e. in open awareness or in the self, and thereby practice **radical acceptance**. This process can be deeply healing.

**What we don't do:**
We do not want to “relieve” the affected shares, as is usually done in IFS (Internal Family Systems). This could easily be misunderstood by the inner system - as if we wanted to somehow overcome shares or feelings. However, this is precisely what could stand in the way of radical acceptance.
**What we do:**
We perceive, we understand – and we accept. And we perceive our relationship to shares and feelings as nuanced as possible and enjoy our increasingly expanding inner possibilities!

The open group has been around for several years, and there are usually 6 to 8 of us in varying lineups. Feel welcome at any time, even just for a quick sniff!
