  • “My Breath is always me.”
  • I am With in, not In it
  • Research around mindfulness related adverse events
  • Parts of therapists, parts of Supervisiors
  • Importance of Noticing in the moment when Blended

  • Talking about parts as a way to unblend
  • Witness, Community, and validation
  • We are wounded in relationship, we heal in relationship
