IFS-aware reflection prompts
Structured journal prompts to deepen a known part — meet it, hear its job, get its fears.
01What was the moment? Just describe it — what happened, where, with whom.
02Which part showed up? Use a nickname if you have one. What did it feel like in your body?
03What was it trying to do for you? What was it afraid would happen if it didn't?
04How did you feel toward this part — curious, irritated, scared, grateful, none of the above?
05Was Self present at all? Even a little? What did Self notice?
06Is there anything this part wants you to know now, looking back?
