Have you ever felt like two opposing forces are battling inside you, pulling you in different directions creating inner conflict? One part of you wants to make a positive change, while another part resists, keeping you stuck in old patterns. This inner conflict is more common than you might think, and it’s precisely what Parts Therapy in hypnotherapy is designed to resolve.
How Parts Therapy Works
Parts Therapy operates on the understanding that within our subconscious mind, different aspects of our personality hold distinct roles, beliefs, and motivations. A trained hypnotherapist facilitates a dialogue between these parts, helping them understand one another, mediate their differences, and find a resolution that serves the whole person.
During a session, the therapist guides the client into a relaxed state and invites the conflicting parts to express their perspectives. These parts are given identities—perhaps a Protector who resists change and a Rebel who seeks excitement. By listening to their intentions, the therapist helps them work together instead of against each other, creating harmony and inner balance.
Carl Jung famously said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Parts Therapy shines a light on these subconscious forces, transforming hidden struggles into conscious choices.
My Own Journey with Parts Therapy
I personally experienced the power of this process when I was getting my Certificate in Parts Therapy, which helped me give up vaping. Two opposing forces surfaced within me:
- The King – A part of me that valued order, discipline, and focus. He wanted me to be strong, clear-headed, and in control of my actions.
- The Joker – A mischievous, fun-loving part that sought chaos, pleasure, and rebellion. He associated vaping with freedom and indulgence.
Through the hypnotherapy process, I facilitated a dialogue between these parts, understanding that The Joker wasn’t trying to sabotage me—he was trying to bring enjoyment into my life. But The King knew that true power came from self-mastery. Rather than eliminating one part, we found a way to integrate their strengths, leading to a lasting change without internal resistance.
A Client’s Experience: Richard’s Transformation
Richard came to me struggling with an unbalanced approach to eating, caught in a cycle of bingeing on sugary foods followed by restriction and excessive exercise. Here’s what he had to say after our sessions together:
“I started working with Adam because I had developed an unbalanced approach to eating, which led to bingeing on sugary foods at the weekend. This created a cycle of overindulgence followed by restrictive eating and excessive exercise during the week in an attempt to compensate.
The hypnotherapy sessions were incredibly helpful. They boosted my self-esteem and enabled me to personify my restrictive and indulgent tendencies, allowing me to mediate between them and achieve a healthier balance in my life.
I would highly recommend hypnotherapy and encourage people to let go of any misconceptions they may have about the process, as I did. You remain fully lucid and in control during the sessions, but the relaxed state it induces helps foster a positive and open mindset towards personal challenges.
Adam is caring, highly professional and his methodology worked very well for me.”
