Parts Therapy Quick Reference
What is it? Parts therapy is a method of hypnosis techniques using the construct of different parts of a person in
order to resolve conflicts and allow flow to happen within them.
What can it be used for? Just about any area of life where there is a conflict or resistance inside your client.
What is this document for? This is a quick reference to parts therapy for professionals, and is not intended to
be exhaustive or even complete. For a more complete understanding of these processes, refer to the additional
resources listed.
Process #1: Basic Parts Therapy Conflict Resolution

1. Parts pre-talk
2. Hypnotize to somnambulism
3. Establish communication with one part (ideomotor responses, simply asking if it is there, etc.
If possible, get a physical location for the part.)
4. Thank the part for being there
5. Identify the part’s intention
6. Establish communication with the second part, repeat steps 4 and 5
7. Negotiate between the parts
8. Thank the unconscious mind for its integration
9. Future pace
Process #2: Advanced Conflict Resolution with Parts (Troubleshooting)

1. Parts pre-talk
2. Hypnotize to somnambulism
3. Establish communication with one part, getting a physical location.
4. Thank the part for being there
5. Get initial intention of part, whether positive or negative. If intention is positively stated, with posi-
tive affect on the part of the client, move to step 7. Otherwise, continue.
6. State to client: This part wants you to have _____, what is important about having that? (Chunk up).
Repeat steps 5-6 until intention is positively stated with positive affect.
7. Establish communication with the second part, following steps 3-6.
8. Negotiate between the parts to come to an agreement. If negotiation is easily forthcoming, move to
step 10. Otherwise, continue.
9. Bring in resources to assist in the negotiation, for instance the feeling of compassion/love/forgiveness.
Suggest acceptance of the current situation with that part. Believe in your heart of hearts that both
parts are wanting something positive. Even if the person initially has a grudge against that part, lead
them to where they understand the part is just doing its job. It has a role it has been assigned that can
now be changed.
10. Get the age of each of the parts and if necessary and ecological, introduce adult resources to that age.
11. Thank the unconscious mind for it’s cooperation, wisdom, and knowledge.
12. Future pace.

Process #3: Interrupting Parts
1. Determine which part is interrupting (Part A) and which part is being interrupted (Part B).
2. Ask the interrupted part (Part B) for it’s positive function, and which parts are interrupting it (Part
A).
3. Ask the interrupting part (Part A) for it’s positive function, and if it gets interrupted by the first part
(Part B).
4. Ensure that both parts are interrupting each other, and not only one of them is interrupting.
5. Ask Part A if it’s function is important enough that it would be willing not to interrupt B if B would
reciprocate.
6. Ask B if it would be willing not to interrupt if it would receive the same in turn.
7. Ask each part if it would be willing now to actually implement this, in reality.
8. Ask the unconscious mind if there are any other parts who are involved in this. If there are, go back to
negotiating.
9. Suggest that the unconscious mind can mediate this relationship in the perfect way so that your client
can achieve (outcome).
Principles of Parts Therapy

1. Every part has a positive intention
No matter how much your client may believe that there is a part of them that is sabotaging them,
wanting to kill them, wanting them to fail, and so on, that part has a positive intention that it wishes
for the person to get. This positive intention is not always obvious at first glance, though!
For instance, if a person has a part that “makes them forget things,” the positive intention might be
that they aren’t dwelling on the past like they were before this part stepped in to do its job.
2. Every part has an age

The inner parts of a person started at various ages, and at that age the part was aware of certain
things, and unaware of others. It can be helpful to leave a part at its age, or to grow it up and intro-
duce new understandings that the whole of the person now knows as an adult.
3. Conflict is a result of misunderstandings and neural networks that are not connected.
When a person is acting as all of who they are and a full and whole being, resistance and conflict do
not exist. It is only when we do not have access to all of our inner resources that we run up against
conflict. Parts negotiation is simply a way of releasing and letting go of those conflicts so that we can
become more whole and access who we are.
In neuroscience this means we have two parts of the brain that aren’t talking to each other, and once
we re-establish the communication (neurons that fire together, wire together), things tend to go much
more smoothly.
