When you silence the small voices of the parts within you, you silence your true brilliance as well.
Listening to the small brilliance of your inner voices is the key to success in inner work—yet it’s not always easy, as anyone can attest!
Entering your inner landscape can be daunting: it’s abstract and invisible. Why not use finger puppets to represent the voices or parts inside you? Make the invisible visible!
Actually seeing the inner parts of yourself can transform how you relate to them. Cloth puppets have a tactile warmth that elicits compassion, and their colors, designs, expressions and ability to move around all enhance creativity.
I love doing parts work with puppets! The visual and tactile aspects they introduce to inner work help me deepen the relationships I have with my parts. Their playful nature also adds a lightness to the process, which helps me put things into perspective and make space. —Radical IFS student
Finger puppets help adults access a sense of curiosity and play, making self-transformation easier and more rewarding.
I’ve been using finger puppets to externalize my parts for over two decades, and they REVOLUTIONIZED my capacity to do IFS with myself, which is why I’m extremely passionate about sharing this specialized IFS approach in my new, monthly IFS + Finger puppets practice group.
“Melissa’s…work with finger puppets is a great innovation! It is an easy, simple method for... work[ing] with parts in a concrete way that brings the process to life.”
—Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., Founder of IFS
If you’d like to experiment with using finger puppets to unblend and externalize your parts, I invite you to learn more— join the monthly IFS + Finger Puppets group, or schedule a free conversation with me if you haven’t joined a Radical IFS group before!
To connecting with your parts as creatively as possible! Melissa
