FAMILY SHADOW AND SELF PARTS INTEGRATION
by Nir Esterman

All our parts matter. We are conceived with a full potential, which never reaches adulthood intact. Very early on, we push some of who we are and who we may become into the Shadow. Anything which may threaten our belonging may be given up, repressed and denied. This, we trade a sense of internal belonging for an external one. Internally, we live in a state of division, believing that something is wrong and shameful deep inside us. Externally, we become triggered by anyone who resembles what we have lost.
