Your nervous system needs regulation, not justification. Over performing and making yourself small to spare others feelings only hurts you. Using #IFS language, learning to communicate from "Self" for your "parts" & not from your parts creates regulation within.

I always find it comforting when my cat washes her face. She's getting ready to relax and nap.
I hope today you can find a moment of rest amongst the storm.

For those of us who have done IFS work, this is your once in a while reminder that those young exiles and protectors inside us need us to spend time with them as a good parent does with their child. We build new/healthy neural networks within with them by doing this.

There is some truth to this I think but it is not wholly true. This is one of those sayings that bypasses the pain in some of those experiences. We CAN certainly hate some of our experiences. We didn't "need" it to "grow."

Re: Feasibility of Internal Family Systems Theory.
This recently published study looked at the effectiveness of using IFS with groups in public clinical settings.
The result: 92% of participants with PTSD were satisfied the modality helped them.

Making love and having sex are often used interchangeably. However, although making love typically involves sex, not every sexual encounter can be described as making love. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-the-name-of-love/202603/is-making-love-different-from-just-having-sex
Is Making Love Different from Just Having Sex?
Making love differs from just having sex mainly through time and patience, which deepen emotional intimacy, romantic depth, and long-term bonding between partners.
