So it's very important to think about that when you're maybe beating yourself up as like, if you're having thoughts and feelings, remember little you maybe didn't get the explanation or the background, the information and the knowledge that you're getting now that you're learning about yourself now.

So I'm going to encourage you for this week as part of your homework is if you feel comfortable and I would love to see it.

If you want to draw something,

see two unpleasant feeling states and draw two pleasant feeling states they can be whatever you want I think I explained last week I had fear for me was me popping my head at the top of a shell anger was me kind of like I had a big my mouth was open like in that that painting the scream

And, you know, and again, me sort of jumping up and down when I was happy.

So again, even if it's stick thing, you know, don't judge it, don't criticize it.

I'm going to encourage you just to doodle, just to play around with the concept of...

trying to, um, if you look at children, you know, young children, they, they draw their, their upset and their sadness and they, they, they keep things fluid, um, in, in that respect.

So, um, that's what we're still trying to do as we're humans, as we're humans, as, as humans, as we're still moving through.

So, so that is us for today.

Um, so that's your homework is to, again, you should be getting this book very soon.

It has been ordered and, um,

And I hope you enjoy because it allowed me personally to develop the compassion that I needed to move forward.

Because I was very kind of harsh, left brain, analytical, etc.

And the idea of parts and being compassionate to myself just seemed a wee bit wishy-washy and

bit far fetched for me.

So if you're still got elements of that, don't worry, that's completely natural.

But what we're looking to do is ultimately if I've got Oh, dropped our cat.

Nice picture here.

Of all our parts, this is what we're looking to do is to bring to have a really caring parenting part in the middle, who can parent all our parts.
