• Self Awareness: Identifying and connecting with the core "Self" that promotes inner harmony.
• Understanding Parts: Exploring the origins and functions of different "parts" that contribute to mental and emotional well-being.
• Non-Judgment: Creating a safe space to explore vulnerabilities and painful experiences without judgment.
