This is a brief guided exercise to use after a conflict. It uses breath, a body scan and guided questions to go inward, reduce overwhelm, calm the nervous system and identify emotions and parts that are present. We then witness and support wounded parts to gain clarity about the conflict which will hopefully help you navigate it from a more grounded, adult self place. You can do this exercise alone, or with others as a mutually supportive process. It can be done seated, lying down, or even while walking. There are pauses during this exercise, but feel free to hit pause if you need more time along the way. This track uses concepts from mindfulness, and parts work, also known as Internal Family Systems theory. It is under 10 minutes long. Music is included in the guided meditation part of the recording.
