Just wanna comment, that this was what my psychologist used as well. The difference is I paid $195 per hour, and this is a click away on the phone. Thank you, Teal :)

[shadowish]

i did it . MY first success with this. It took me over 2 hours but i finally did it. And it feels awesome.I feel like i can move mountains !!

[Dawn-blze]

Watching this made this hour the most valuable hour of my life.

[Spooky_Psyche]

Oh wow, so this is actually what I'm doing when I spend hours talking to "myself." I actually have done this process on myself for years and it has played a huge role in my healing and awakening process. I never really put words to it though. I would just call it talking to myself. It seems that my different parts just come up and start talking whenever they feel like it, and as it's happened over time, it happens less and less because I'm gradually integrating.

Good job Graciela .. that took some guts

[Danceofenergy]

She is the only spiritual teacher that give people technique to work on themselves for free and consistent. People at any level of income can do their own work base on her teaching - I haven’t seen anyone doing that. Some are very good with theory and some charge very high for their technique. Her teaching require you to be desperate and honest enough to work with yourself
I feel so grateful for her bravery and authenticity 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[milomazli]

OMG how cute Graciela was when she sat to the opposite chair and said "I just wanna talk to people. Hi everyone :)" OMG I want to jump across the screen and give her a hug <3
This was a hard HARD task to do on camera. Girl, GOOD JOB!!! You are brave and you helped us, helped ME grasp how to do this parts work. Thank youuu!!

Wow i just did this method and discovered that the part of me who’s always sad is actually my unhealed 3 year old self. According to her I was sexually abused. The opposite part of me was an internalised version of my abuser. I feel one step closer to complete inner peace thanks to you Teal. I can’t wait to do more of this, it’s truly enlightening.

This has validated my feeling of recently listening to a spiritual teacher saying that "You just have to come back to the present moment so that you won't feel the pain. Get out of the drama." She ridicules the parts that are frustrated, unloved, overwhelmed, lonely as "being dramatic". This video has perfectly explained why I felt repulsed by her explanation of "living in the moment". She's too scared to go into her own fear, anger, frustration and other selves blown into pieces by an unloving mother.

Just done this. Had 3 parts. A scared young adult who is was my wretching reaction to the unknown especially social situations. Turns out he wanted to be listened to after being embarrassed and was always being suppressed. Other was a very sensible school kid who was scared of his dad and being told off. Other was avery fun kid who was wondering what happened to having fun. They all decided eventually to align to work together. The young adult was told he will be listened to and was loved and appreciated and wants to help now with energy towards creativity. And the other two want to have fun and work hard with him. So all can work as one towards this one goal. At the end I feel lighter.

I just watched this moments after returning home after setting out on icy roads.
Already I felt conflicted about these two parts of myself: the part that wants to go out in the world and explore, be with people and the part that wants to stay home and be cosy and quiet.

So, I did the work immediately with these two parts!

Wow!!

It did become apparently so clear how these parts manifested within me were actually duplicating struggle that existed
incessantly between my father and mother! He, being the wanderlust...and my mom the happy home-maker/ garden tender...

Anyways...the father part was found to be a really dominating, pushy, impatient part of me.
The mother part, a deeply lonely, unseen, unvalued part. Also overwhelmed with grief.

Oh my.

The mother part started to take her place beautifully and with a pen held in her hand, prepared to write.

The pushy, forceful part just dissolved.

I experienced the nausea and dizziness that Graciola (sp?) reported in her experience.

I am really glad I did this work so immediately.

Also, when the mother part was speaking, there was a huge internal inferno, a big, big, heat ....something was clearly being burned.
It was huge.



One thing I noticed in Graciola at the end of the work, she looks in my eyes like such a Queen.
A Maori Warrioress. One who dances and sings and her power is felt through her movement and song.
It is deeply sensual and soothing, gifting the community. It is very feminine.
I see flowers in her hair. And beautiful skirts. Lush vegetation in the background. And a waterfall.
And happy children playing. Her movement is naturally languid, like seaweed moving underwater responding to the caress of the
ocean's waves.

All my parts seem to be agreeing that this is very helpful information. Now they're all lining up to speak their part...what a parade. This is a really multidimensional experience 😄

[adair]

I love you Graciela! Thanks for being brave and encouraging us to do the work

[cshortridge]

I would like to thank the young lady who participated here. Lovely!! And thank you, Teal. I will start using this!

[softvelvet]

I'm so glad you made this, I saw the fragmentation video and I really needed more help to know how to fix this issue. Thank you :)

Questions that Teal asks Graciella (I might have missed some lmao):
1. Identify the part(s)
2. How are you aware of these parts?
3. Which one is more dominant?
4. When you sit down in the chair, dive in or channel that one part of you and become that part
5. How do you feel about the mediator
6. How do you feel about the opposite aspect

33:00 For the resolution AFTER you're aware of these parts
44:00 Final realization of how this parts work changed things

I want to try this process with these kinds of parts:
1. Not wanting to do any sort of inner-child work and really wanting to heal myself
2. Always thinking I am wrong and the opposite
3. The one who absolutely believes in OCD and irrational thoughts and the opposite
4. The one who really hates my voice/accent and the one who really wants to speak and express herself
5. The one who isolates herself and the one who really wants friends and people to like her
6. The one who believes that nothing is ever going to change no matter how hard I try and the one who wants change
7. The one who is afraid of making mistakes and wants to be perfect and the one who wants to be accepted no matter what
8. The one who has to deal with mental illnesses and pain and the one who acts happy and makes jokes when she is with others

I'm here to leave a comment for my best friend when she watches this in a few months. This video is unbelievably helpful. I hope it is as good for you as it has been for me. Much love!

[charlesjepsen]

Teal Swan is so real and down to earth, like wtf, thank u

[eleneleven]

Absolutely one of the best practices EVER!! As I was watching this video, I was feeling multiple of these different/controdicting parts of me celebrating and being impatient to be heard and come to the front for the first time in my life(and theirs as well!) I felt the urge to write down all these parts of me that need to come to the front, so that I don't forget any... This method is just GREAT!! I can't wait to try it! It feels so relieving, after all these years to know that all parts of me can be heard, acknowledged and integrated! BIG THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU! YOU ARE AMAZING!
P.S.= Graciela is soooo sweet and lovely!

[michellewhetstone]

Who else would love an update on Graciela!

[ajkoz]

I just did this with two parts of myself, one I called Nigil the Nihilist and the other Kyle the Can-Doer. Lol. The dialogue that commenced between them was nothing short of profound. It turns out they both felt unseen, unheard and ignored by the other. They both deeply resented each other. By the end of it they were both laughing and best friends. The relief I feel is tremendous. This is awesome!!! 👏
