[[Self-energy is healing]]. We can still help our [[Parts]] when connecting with them from the perspective of another part. [[Parts can display qualities of Self]] and sharing this with parts can be helpful. But the qualities of [[Self]] from Self is pure and boundless: [[Self has no agenda]] and [[Self is boundless]]. Parts can sense the difference when these qualities come from parts versus Self. They're far more receptive and responsive to the latter. And [[Self-energy helps protectors relax]]. When [[Protectors]] relax, they will let us meet the [[Exiles]] they're protecting or protecting us from. And it's exiles that hold the deepest trauma.
