In other words, as guides, we must have practice of doing Partswork on ourselves before doing it on others. I really appreciate the embodiment aspect to the Partswork that we learn at EBI. I love to incorporate…

Hey James, I’m curious how your less directive approach to Partswork has worked for you. I find Partswork to be extremely confusing for clients unless they are clearly guided and/or very familiar with the practice already.

Hey Gina, I have a friend and practice client (dual relationship) who is a list maker as well. She is also very analytically oriented, and doesn’t fully understand what it means to be in “soul”. I’ve done Partswork with her once, but it was challenging because she was unclear about what it felt like to be in “soul”. I wonder if your client is like…

I look forward to integrating Brain & Change 2 information into my sessions on a more regular basis. I am still grasping the concept for my own life.

Hi lovely James, I agree with you on the importance of integration after a powerful peak or threshold experience. I feel really passionate about this. I have experienced many peak experiences in my life, but in the end, none of them really matter that much unless I put the work into incorporating them into my life. I don’t think our highly…

“Finally, I had her pick a third place to represent any potential options or routes she hadn’t considered yet. She had chosen a spot by the water, which she immediately identified as a space of flexibility that needed to lie between the two narratives. That was a light bulb moment for her, and a big part of it was realizing that she needed to be…

Brain & Change 1 made a huge impact on my coaching sessions and my personal life. I realize that I had been conditioned to focus on the negative, or the things that I don’t want, for a large part of my past.
