Loving Those Parts You Hate- Listen to audio below

One of the hardest things I help my clients with is loving those parts of themselves that they dislike--and sometimes even hate. Most of the time these are parts that sabotage their efforts in doing the work they are meant to be doing. For example, parts that keep my clients from being consistent with their meditation practice, parts that say yes to demands from others even when my clients want to say no, parts that cause my clients to explode in anger, and parts that are so sensitive that they get easily overwhelmed by the world.

My clients want to push these parts away, get rid of them, lock them up and never see them again. Often they have been trying to "fix" these parts for years.  But, alas, this is not how it works. As much as my clients try to get rid of what they label as "difficult" parts, these aspects of themselves are with them for life.

The third practice in my book, Answering Your Inner Calling, which I call "Naming and Embracing Your Fears," offers valuable information and practical exercises to work with these internal parts (see my book Answering Your Inner Calling for more). That guidance is based on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy, in which I was trained, and have been a client and student of, for a decade now.

In my book, I divide the process of transforming these parts into five stages. Each of these stages and the exercises I suggest are essential in the process of healing those internal parts that may be sabotaging you.

However, here I want to distill that guidance on how to transform your parts, especially those parts you hate, to its most fundamental essence: The parts you hate will only transform when loved unconditionally.Read more.

Blog Follow-Up- Loving Those Parts You Hate

Reflect on which parts of you are the hardest ones for you to accept, those parts that you wish were gone or that you knew how to fix. For this exercise, allow yourself to let go of any desire to fix or get rid of these parts.

If this feels too overwhelming, you can set a timer for whatever amount of time feels right and tell yourself that after the timer goes off you can go back to disliking these parts.

But while the timer is on, you are going to give your Soul permission to radiate these parts with unconditional love. You are not going to get in the way with any desire to fix, change, analyze or even understand this part. You are just going to bear witness as your Soul infuses this part with love.

You can begin by saying a prayer such as this,

Beautiful Soul,

I know you love all of my parts unconditionally. But I am human, and these parts of me that I am bringing to you are parts that I dislike, that I want to get rid of, and sometimes even hate.

Fill me with your light so that I will not get in the way as you send these parts your healing, unconditional love.

Thank you.

Now, just breathe and allow your Soul's love to flow through you to these parts. If you want to, you can bring the palms of your hands to rest over your heart as you do this.

Repeat this practice as often as you are guided.
