Self Help

认识你的内在“家庭”

First, let's look at the foundation of IFS: the idea that we all have an internal "family" of parts.

"First, let's look at the foundation of IFS: the idea that we all have an internal "family" of parts." 理解内在家庭系统（IFS）的核心概念：我们都有一个由多个“部分”组成的内在家庭。这并不是指多重人格，而是指我们自身的各个方面扮演着不同的角色，通常是为了应对过去的经历。比如，你可能有一个“取悦他人”的部分，这是在童年时期为了维持和平而形成的；或者一个“批判性”的部分，促使你不断追求成就，这可能源于一个要求严苛的父母。 Gabby Bernstein 在《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中分享了一个个人故事，完美地说明了这一点。她描述了自己在写作时感觉像个冒牌货，有一个声音告诉她：“我没有心理学证书，这本书不够好。我觉得自己很愚蠢、很无能。我是一个骗子。”她没有忽视这个声音，而是选择“检查”它。她变得好奇，注意到自己胃部的紧绷感和胸口的焦虑。她意识到这个部分是一个十岁的小女孩，正在重温数学课上她暗恋的男生说她愚蠢的那一刻。 这就是IFS的强大之处。Gabby没有与这个“批判性”的部分作斗争，而是充满同情心地与它连接。她问：“你需要什么？”这个部分回答说：“相信我。”这个简单的承认和理解该部分需求的行动促成了转变。一种平静的爱的能量出现了，她的内心对话也发生了变化。她意识到她的故事和生活经历是她的天赋。勇气取代了恐惧，她得以继续前进。 《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中提到的方法是，下次当你被强烈的情绪或消极的自我对话淹没时，尝试这个简单的练习。停下来问问自己：“我的哪个部分有这种感觉？”不要评判它，只要保持好奇。这个部分需要什么？它害怕什么？你可能会对自己的发现感到惊讶。仅仅是承认这些部分的行为就具有难以置信的力量。

“检查”你的内在状态

Second, let’s explore the "check-in" process, a core practice in IFS.

"Second, let’s explore the "check-in" process, a core practice in IFS." 探索“检查”过程，这是IFS的核心实践。这指的是有意识地创造空间来连接你的内在世界。这不是评判或修复，而是倾听和理解。Gabby强调，定期检查对于建立自我意识和培养与你各部分的关系至关重要。 可以把它想象成照料花园。你不会只是播下种子，然后就不管它们了，对吧？你会给它们浇水，检查杂草，并确保它们有足够的阳光。检查你的各个部分也是类似的。这是关于持续地培育你的内在景观。 Gabby描述了她自己的检查过程，通常包括写日记。她鼓励读者创造一个安全的空间，也许可以进行一些平静的仪式，比如点燃蜡烛或听舒缓的音乐。然后，她邀请她的“管理者”——那些倾向于控制和保护的部分——在她的日记中写字。她问：“你想让我知道什么？”然后让所有部分都出现，注意想法、情绪和感觉。 《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中提到，与其推开不舒服的感觉，不如变得好奇。使用日记、冥想或仅仅是安静的反思来连接你的内在世界。问问你的各个部分：“你有什么感觉？”“你需要什么？”“你害怕什么？”不要试图修复任何东西，只要倾听。这种持续进行的练习可以带来转变。

核心信念的力量

Third, let's look at how core beliefs shape our reality.

"Third, let's look at how core beliefs shape our reality." 核心信念如何塑造我们的现实。这些信念通常在童年时期形成，就像无形的过滤器一样，我们通过它们来看待世界。它们影响着我们的思想、感觉和行为，通常我们甚至没有意识到。 例如，如果你从小就认为自己不够好，你可能会不断地寻求他人的认可，或者你可能对自己过于挑剔。这些信念变得根深蒂固，就像你脑海中一条走惯了的路。 Gabby以一个经历过创伤事件的孩子为例。这个孩子可能会形成一种核心信念，认为世界是不安全的，导致成年后的焦虑和过度警觉。这种信念，即使是无意识的，也会继续塑造他们的经历。 理解你的核心信念是改变它们关键。《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中提到，你无法改变你没有意识到的东西。通过将这些信念带入意识的光明中，你可以开始挑战它们，并创造新的、更有力量的信念。 Gabby提供了一个强大的工具来处理核心信念：写日记。她建议写下你的核心信念，探索它们的起源，然后重新构建它们。例如，如果你发现一个信念，比如“我不可爱”，你可以把它重新构建为“我值得爱和归属”。 你可能会问：“我怎么才能识别我的核心信念呢？”首先要注意你反复出现的想法和感觉。常见的主题是什么？潜在的假设是什么？把它们写下来。然后，问问你自己：“这个信念是从哪里来的？”“它真的是真的吗？”“什么会是一个更有力量的信念？”

实践自我宽恕

Let's move on to another key concept: self-forgiveness.

“Let's move on to another key concept: self-forgiveness.” 自我宽恕。这不是纵容有害的行为；而是释放那些让我们停留在过去的羞耻和责备。Gabby强调，自我宽恕对于疗愈和成长至关重要。 可以这样想：抓住内疚和羞耻就像背负着沉重的负担。它会耗尽你的能量，阻止你前进。自我宽恕就是放下那个负担，让自己更充分地活在当下。 Gabby分享了一个关于原谅自己过去错误的故事。她描述了自己感到的深深的羞耻和悔恨，但通过IFS的过程，她能够与自己内心持有这些感觉的部分建立联系。她认识到，这些部分是在试图保护她，即使它们的方法最终是有害的。 《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中提到，练习自我宽恕：首先承认你内心持有羞耻和责备的部分。对它们的动机感到好奇。它们害怕什么？它们需要什么？然后，向这些部分提供同情和理解。记住，它们只是想保护你。 自我宽恕是一个过程，而不是一次性事件。这需要时间和耐心。对自己温柔一点。

应对焦虑的部分

Let's talk about anxious parts.

“Let's talk about anxious parts.” 焦虑的部分。焦虑是一种常见的经历，IFS提供了一个独特的视角来看待如何处理它。IFS不认为焦虑是需要消除的东西，而是将其视为一个试图保护你安全的保护者部分。 Gabby分享了她自己与焦虑的斗争，特别是产后焦虑。她描述了自己感到不知所措和恐惧，但通过IFS，她学会了与自己焦虑的部分成为朋友。她认识到，这些部分是在试图保护她和她的孩子，即使它们的方法给她带来了痛苦。 《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中有一个实用技巧：当你感到焦虑时，尝试Gabby推荐的这种呼吸技巧。深吸气，扩张你的腹部，慢慢呼气，释放紧张。重复几次，专注于你的呼吸。这个简单的练习可以帮助你平静你的神经系统，并创造一种内在的安全感。

倾听身体的智慧

Finally, let's explore the importance of connecting with your body.

“Finally, let's explore the importance of connecting with your body.” 连接你的身体。我们的身体蕴藏着许多智慧，它们经常储存着我们尚未完全处理的情绪。Gabby强调身心连接，并鼓励读者注意身体的感觉。 她描述了自己经历的下巴疼痛和紧张，她意识到这与压抑的情绪有关。通过IFS，她能够倾听自己的身体，并理解它发出的信息。 《Self Help: This Is Your Chance to Change Your Life》这本书中有一个简单的练习：花几分钟扫描你的身体，注意任何紧张或不适的区域。不要评判它；只要观察。存在什么情绪？你的身体需要什么？你可能会对自己的发现感到惊讶。
