Parts Therapy Process
Someone started a parts therapy discussion in the main groups, so I decided to post my reply here in this group:
-------------------------------------------
I have to jump into this discussion, as the pioneer of parts therapy (Charles Tebbetts) trained me in 1983 and asked me to continue his work before his passing in 1992.
The metaphor of a company with managers as John mentioned is one that I use in my workshops to illustrate the metaphor of parts therapy being a process of MEDIATION.
Over the years many variations of parts therapy have evolved; and I have also updated my mentor’s work. However, I have organized parts therapy into a discipline that is very effective for most of the people most of the time. There are three phases: preparation, the 11-step process, and concluding the session. All steps of the three phases are explored IN DEPTH in my parts therapy book, HYPNOSIS FOR INNER CONFLICT RESOLUTION: INTRODUCING PARTS THERAPY (2005, Crown House Publishing).
During the preparation phase, I endeavor to guide clients into DEEP states of hypnosis (rather than only light states), because analytical clients (such as me) will NOT enjoy lasting results when only light states are used. This opinion has been validated by other professionals during my teaching parts therapy workshops dating back to 1990. Once the client is deep enough, I begin the 11-Step Process:
1. Identify the part.
2. Gain rapport (compliment the part).
3. Call out the part.
4. Thank it for emerging.
5. Discover its purpose.
6. Call out other parts as appropriate.
7. Negotiate and mediate.
8. Ask parts to come to terms of agreement.
9. Confirm and summarize terms of agreement.
10. Give direct suggestions as appropriate.
11. INTEGRATE the parts! (The formal parts therapy process is completed.)
I work as a MEDIATOR, remaining objective, and helping clients come up with their own answers.
There are both detours and pitfalls that we need to be aware of, and they are covered in my book and in my workshops, which I am happy to facilitate upon request. (Email me privately if you wish to sponsor one.)
Also, I invite all of you who are interested to join my parts therapy group in Hypnothoughts.

Hi Roy,
I have joined your group and aim to learn as much as I possibly can. Parts therapy has fascinated me for a while and I like to gain lots of experience in practicing this method.
I intend to utilize parts therapy doing self hypnosis to improve myself and once I am really proficient and confident to use it for the benefit of my clients. Any suggestion is welcomed and appreciated.
What is the title of your book?
Regards, Mansour -

Roy,
I would include "identify the benefit" to the parts when negotiating (asking) for change. The parts have to have a good reason to change, because they don't see what they have been doing as bad. It can be as simple as adding the phrase "so (client name) can live a happier healthier longer life"

Thanks John,
When the part that wishes to change states its job or purpose, it would certainly be appropriate to ask that part WHAT benefits the client will receive for making the change.
