No Bad Parts

Embodiment: Living in Your Body When Your Parts Finally Trust You

As parts come to trust your Self, they make room for you to actually inhabit your body — and sensations and emotions arrive louder, which is the point rather than the problem. This closing episode is about that returning sensitivity and what people naturally do with it: get interested in keeping the body grounded and healthy, because it has stopped being a thing they live above. It includes a session with a client working through a frightening memory in real time, complete with the judgmental part that tells her not to share it. Schwartz ends by unburdening his own parts in public — the ones braced against a profession that spent decades dismissing the inner world — and signs off with gratitude.
