We all have them " Exiles" and we know we do. The child part that gets you into trouble or more so its stemmed from traumatic childhood experiences. We do want to tame them or make better choices but we just cant figure out how to do that so we put off exploring these exile parts time and time again. We often hear our loved ones say " I wished I could quit doing this or that" but they never do.
These Exiles or problematic parts are just giving you what they think you want and you don't know how to go about getting these parts under control. You know they're there but if you can just eat one more donut or smoke one more cigarette you won't argue with this part for you agree with it too on a subconscious level.
You eventually accept that this is just the way you are and you go about your life the whole time getting sicker or in pain from these poor choices because really these exiles are trying to (again) give you what you want.
They have positive intent even though you cant see it. For example, you know fighting with the kids is just going to keep them rebelling against you but you keep on fighting with them cause this is the way you was trained to do as a child when you grew up and you say thats just a part of me, thats who I am. When in all reality its just an Exile part that has the same rebellion in it that you did have when you were your childs age.
When you learn about these exile parts and then ask them to step aside so you can get to self then you'll come to understand the intent of the Exiles.
An exile part can be that you like to drink every weekend cause that's how you came to grips with things. You know that if you continue to do this it will eventually lead you into trouble with your health or the law but you keep on drinking even though you know the negative consequences.
Again an exile could be a finger nail biting habit and no matter how many times you try to stop biting your nails you just keep at it knowing that this habit could have negative consequences and you really do mean to stop one day but you just can't seem to find a way to quit. Well thats an Exile part.
A part you picked up at a young age, although as Jay Early says- Exile parts are parts stemmed from childhood during a traumatic episode--
To me just my mom getting mad was traumatic at times when I was just a kid so I assume the nail biting and drinking to be caused from an exile.
The things we know we need not do but we do them anyway. If we follow these exiles to self and find out their true intent we will always come out a winner with less stress and Exiles to think about.
Some exiles are their and mean, angered because of situations that you have been through in life in the past. Even though the past is gone these exile parts don't know that you're not in these situations anymore so you will still have these negative attitudes that no one can figure out.
In ifs we can go to the exile and find out its intent by asking it to step aside and entering the all knowing self. Here we can come to agreements with these parts and do away with all the misconceived situations that weve been through.
