Embody Your Power

Protectors of Your Psyche

Danielle Carron Season 1 Episode 6

Do you ever feel like fear, anxiety, loneliness, stress or overwhelm is driving you around? Many people reach out to me because they have parts of themselves jumping into the drivers seat that they don’t know how to get out and as a result they don’t feel like themselves. Knowing how to work with our parts is an essential skill to feeling in control of our own mind, being sovereign and embodying our power. 

Unfortunately, most of us haven’t been taught how to work with the parts of our psyche. And when we don’t know how to work with these parts, our psyche can remain an elusive thing that can feel like it’s out of our grasp. If you don’t know which part of you is currently in the drivers seat, you’re not in control of who is driving you around and where you are going. You can easily get lost in life. You can end up living most of your life from parts instead of your core essence, your authenticity, your true self. You could be driven around by your fear and emotional pain as those are the common emotions of the parts. You might have a dominant part that’s in the drivers seat so often that you think that is who you are.

In this episode I will explore step by step how to work with the protector parts of your psyche.

At the end of this episode, I’d like to offer some exercises for you to try:

  1. Start to identify your parts, give them names, see if you can visualize them and see them as separate so that you can externalize the part. 
  2. Say hello and welcome to your parts.
  3. Once you’ve identified the part and are able to visualize or sense it. Pause the part and ask yourself, who am I in this present moment when I separate from the part? Bring this core self energy to the part. 
  4. Be curious and get to know your parts. Ask the protectors, what is your intention to help me or protect me? And what are you afraid would happen if you didn’t do that?
  5. If you notice that you’re judging the part, you don’t like the part, or have any ill feelings toward it then you’re not accessing your core self, you are relating to the part from another part. Keep asking parts to step back until you can access your core self.


Thank you for listening.
