Creativity and Parts Series

Journaling exercise: Try writing a dialogue with a part. You can begin by noticing either the sensation you identified or the voice that alerts you to the part. On one side of the page (or in one color), write out what the part may say, and on the other side, you can respond from your Self. Going back and forth between the two, you can create a written dialogue between your Self and your part.

If you notice additional parts while engaging with this, you can add them in another color or column, or repeat the exercise between the newly-identified part and your Self.

Once you’ve completed the “conversation,” you can read it back over for reflection or bring it to your next therapy session.
