77: Linda A. revisits

🔸 Perfect test scores, but always feeling “not good enough”. This 4yo exile is mad, feels abandoned. (This is our 3rd call, but the first that we’ve recorded.) Lots of tears, difficulty, but I think a resounding success, beautiful. Linda is great with 4 year olds!



🔹 Part (Location, Fear, Rather be doing, Age, Needs):

- striving and frustration, protectors.

- The four year old

- ache in lower back, tension headache

- needs Linda to listen, and to remember how old this part is.



🎓 What I'd like to do differently:

I’m on high alert when callers present w exiles. I feel like it’s my biggest challenge, and when I get it wrong, it's agonizing. We’ve talked 3 times and Linda is a LMFT with an understanding of IFS, but it’s still a difficult decision for me every time. What do you think? Did we do enough protector checking in here? Sufficient unblending?
