It's true that [[Burdened parts block access to Self]]. So it's easy for [[Parts]] of us to treat resistance, or the mental conditioning of parts, as a problems to solve. But [[Protectors have good reasons for their roles and beliefs, even when they're extreme, irrational, and wrong]] and [[Protectors have positive intent]]. Treating parts as the enemy or as a problem to solve mostly just encourages "enlightened" parts to fight against "unenlightened" parts. [[Self has no agenda]]. [[Self welcomes all]], even conditioned parts. And as the healing energy of [[Self]] welcomes our conditioning, it begins to dissolve: [[Self-energy is healing]]. If we feel moved to support the unfolding process of healing, we can use [[IFS]].
