This is the Sun Nizzy Audio channel. Today, I'd like to share my summary of Chapter 13, "I've Decided to Be the Kindest Person to Myself," from the book "The Moment Others Become Strangers." I’ll be sharing the insights I gained from reading this part. Have you ever felt this way? Where a single word from someone keeps you occupied all day, or your mood swings back and forth over a simple text message? When that happens, we usually think like this: "Why on earth 00:20 Speaker A part. Have you ever felt this way? Where a single word from someone keeps you occupied all day, or your mood swings back and forth over a simple text message. When that happens, we usually think like this. "Why on earth 00:38 Speaker A is that person acting like that?" But here's the thing. What if we changed the question? Instead of "Why is that person like that?", try asking, "Why am I so shaken up in front of a person like that?" Today, we start with that 00:55 Speaker A very question. The reason why we should look at ourselves, not others. There are so many different kinds of people in the world. Emotional people, rational people, impatient people, relaxed people, overly blunt people, and those whose thoughts you can't read 01:13 Speaker A very question. The reason why we should look at ourselves, not others. There are so many different kinds of people in the world. Emotional people, rational people, impatient people, relaxed people, overly blunt people, and those whose thoughts you can't read. 01:22 Speaker A This is where the problem begins. If my day and my mood are determined by the people I meet, then I’m not the one holding the steering wheel of my life; others are. We get anxious when replies are slow, ruminate on one rude remark 01:42 Speaker A Every day, we bump into these different people, work with them, and sometimes become friends or family. 02:04 Speaker A There is a different question we really need to ask. "Why is my heart so helplessly dragged around by people like this?" There is one thing that is easy to misunderstand here. Maintaining composure doesn't mean feeling no emotions or never getting hurt. It 02:26 Speaker A This is where the problem begins. If my day and my mood are determined by the people I meet, then I’m not the one holding the steering wheel of my life; others are. We get anxious when replies are slow, ruminate on one rude remark 02:42 Speaker A To do that, you must know yourself before analyzing others. In what situations do I become particularly sensitive? What am I afraid of losing? 02:58 Speaker A all day, and fold our own thoughts to rush a response when facing an impatient person. That is why the author says: The real problem isn't the other person's personality. Because we will continue to meet new, unpredictable people in the future. 03:15 Speaker A graduation day, while her friends were taking photos in their gowns, Deina was holding her two-year-old son in her arms. She said that while she felt proud, every time she caught people's gazes, she felt like she had another story to explain. Her father was cold 03:34 Speaker A There is a different question we really need to ask. "Why is my heart so helplessly dragged around by people like this?" There is one thing that is easy to misunderstand here. Maintaining composure doesn't mean feeling no emotions or never getting hurt. It 03:50 Speaker A family. So, Dana made a decision. She would prove her father wrong. She graduated high school on time, worked at a daycare during the day, and attended college classes at night. 04:05 Speaker A means noticing what is reacting inside you the moment an emotion rises, and being in a state where you can manage that emotion so it doesn't dictate all your actions. That is true composure. 04:12 Speaker A But the problem was that even as her successes grew, her shame did not decrease. Even at 30, a part of her heart still held a 15-year-old Dana who was trembling. If I fail even a little, everyone’s predictions about me will 04:30 Speaker A To do that, you must know yourself before analyzing others. In what situations do I become particularly sensitive? What am I afraid of losing? 04:46 Speaker A I don't think you're ready to be with anyone yet. Dana clearly wanted more connection and love. But her son was already hitting puberty and busy with friends, and seeing him ready to move out in three years made her feel a 05:05 Speaker A Why do I keep repeating the same mistakes in specific relationships? To help explain this, I’ll tell you the story of Deina, a client the author met. Deina gave birth to her first child at age 15. On her high school 05:21 Speaker A Dana struggled constantly between these two voices. The author applied a therapy model called Internal Family Systems, or IFS, to Dana. 05:36 Speaker A graduation day, while her friends were taking photos in their gowns, Deina was holding her two-year-old son in her arms. She said that while she felt proud, every time she caught people's gazes, she felt like she had another story to explain. Her father was cold 05:53 Speaker A The critical voice inside me keeps pushing me hard. This means our minds are not a single voice, but a collection of various parts that coexist and conflict. So, he applied family therapy theory to the individual mind and named it Internal Family 06:15 Speaker A toward her for months after finding out about the pregnancy. He even pressured her to have an abortion. Being rejected by her father when she needed protection the most left her with the shame of being a disappointment to her 06:37 Speaker A whole from the center of the mind. Calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, and connection are the states closest to our true nature. And the parts play a role in protecting us, and are largely divided into three types. First, the Managers. These are 07:04 Speaker A family. So, Dana made a decision. She would prove her father wrong. She graduated high school on time, worked at a daycare during the day, and attended college classes at night. 07:26 Speaker A Firefighters. It’s the part that tries to put out the fire when emotional pain erupts. Mindlessly scrolling through social media or relying on alcohol are examples of this . It feels comfortable in the moment, but since it doesn't help in the long 07:44 Speaker A After earning her nursing degree, she quickly gained recognition at work. It was certainly a remarkable achievement. 08:12 Speaker A that fight and protect each other. These three parts sometimes unite and sometimes clash. Let me give you an example. Let’s say there’s someone who keeps failing at their diet. The strict manager says. You must not eat anything this time. When pressure and 08:32 Speaker A But the problem was that even as her successes grew, her shame did not decrease. Even at 30, a part of her heart still held a 15-year-old Dana who was trembling. If I fail even a little, everyone’s predictions about me will 08:52 Speaker A even stricter diet. It’s a vicious cycle. There is one important premise here. IFS says this. There are no bad parts. Wanting to get close while simultaneously wanting to run away, wanting to rest while pushing yourself hard. It’s not strange at all for 09:15 Speaker A be proven right. This inner ember carried over into her relationships as well. She was always afraid her boyfriend would leave her, so she was constantly suspicious. Her last boyfriend reportedly said this to her. 09:35 Speaker A feels like your entire self, it's called blending. It’s not "a part of me is afraid of being abandoned," but rather, "I will definitely be abandoned ." The moment you become convinced of that, the fearful part has completely taken the steering wheel of your life. 09:57 Speaker A I don't think you're ready to be with anyone yet. Dana clearly wanted more connection and love. But her son was already hitting puberty and busy with friends, and seeing him ready to move out in three years made her feel a 10:16 Speaker A Percussion keeps the beat, strings express delicate emotions, and winds add power and vitality. No instrument is bad. But if one instrument plays loudly by itself the whole time, the entire music falls apart. The conductor’s role is not to break the 10:38 Speaker A sense of loss already. One side of her says this: It’s time to start living your own life. The other side says this: If you trust people, you'll just get hurt again. You’re safe as long as you only focus on work and your son. 10:50 Speaker A In the orchestra of the mind, this conductor is the "Self." The goal of IFS therapy is to restore this effective leadership of the Self. I practiced observing how my body reacts and what images come to mind whenever I 11:09 Speaker A Dana struggled constantly between these two voices. The author applied a therapy model called Internal Family Systems, or IFS, to Dana. 11:30 Speaker A part away, ask it: "What are you afraid will happen if you don't doubt them like that?" The answer from that part was simple. "I'll trust them again and then be abandoned.""I'll be left all alone, just like last time." After 11:47 Speaker A Psychotherapist Richard Schwartz, who created this model, discovered an interesting point. When people describe their feelings, they often say things like this: One part of me wants to do it, but another part wants to avoid it. 11:57 Speaker A ""But the person I'm with now is not my father.""There's no need to worry about being abandoned before we've even properly connected.""If it becomes dangerous, I now have the strength to distance myself." It was the same when my son became independent. "I'm happy 12:17 Speaker A The critical voice inside me keeps pushing me hard. This means our minds are not a single voice, but a collection of various parts that coexist and conflict. So, he applied family therapy theory to the individual mind and named it Internal Family 12:36 Speaker A relationship.""But the wounds from back then still remain, so I want to get closer slowly." This is what it means to not be swayed. It's not about feeling nothing, but acknowledging that fear, anger, sadness, and affection can exist at the same time, and making 12:59 Speaker A Systems. Here, "family" doesn't refer to real parents or siblings, but to the structure where the various parts of our mind interact. This model views the mind as consisting largely of two things: The Self and the parts. The Self is the core ego that leads the 13:24 Speaker A this part trying to prevent?" The moment you change your questions like this, you start to see new choices that you couldn't see through self-blame. 13:36 Speaker A whole from the center of the mind. Calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, and connection are the states closest to our true nature. And the parts play a role in protecting us, and are largely divided into three types. First, the Managers. These are 13:59 Speaker A not mean being in danger. If you want change, discomfort is your best friend. Third, practice new behaviors in very small ways. You don't have to try to change in grand ways. Pausing for a moment before sending a text full of 14:19 Speaker A the parts that try to prevent pain by controlling life. As an inner critic, they constantly push us by saying we "must" do this or that. Perfectionism, excessive planning, people-pleasing, and endless self-criticism can all be the roles of a Manager. Second, the 14:43 Speaker A do this. Notice which parts of you they trigger, gently soothe those parts, and choose the action that best serves the current you. The person I have to live with the longest is none other than myself. So, instead of being a stern 15:06 Speaker A Firefighters. It’s the part that tries to put out the fire when emotional pain erupts. Mindlessly scrolling through social media or relying on alcohol are examples of this. It feels comfortable in the moment, but since it doesn't help in the long 15:26 Speaker A reins of your life finally return to you. That is all for today. Have a peaceful day today. Thank you. I love you. You are the best today, too. Yes.
