I think a cool part of IFS is that it surfaces this double standard we have for how we treat ourselves vs how we treat others. For some reason it’s ok for me to ignore my physical limitations, or certain standards of kindness and empathy I hold for others do not apply to myself

For example I just read the final chapter of No Bad Parts where they talk about checking if your parts are playing a role in your physical ailments

Turns out I somewhat consistently ignore this part in me that is trying to keep me from totally destroying my body, so it acts out / leads to me these crippling injuries that force me to slow down and take care of myself

It’s interesting to think about in this way because I definitely have a pattern to the types of injuries I get, they come from overuse and continuing to pursue an activity long after my body has given the first warning signals of fatigue

It just adds dimension to the voice and makes me take it much more seriously (along with the severity of injuries). So it feels like I am becoming aware, listening to, and making a truce by deciding to work on this together so that I am protected and more careful in the future
