Schwartz’s approach helps individuals gain a sense of self-leadership over the parts of themselves that they are struggling with. In this session, Schwartz helps Loren and Kathy examine the parts of themselves that are causing problems in their marriage. Loren says Kathy disengages for several days after they have a fight. Kathy says that she is afraid if she reveals her true self to Loren, he won’t like it and will look to other women for intimacy.
Watch as Schwartz helps Kathy get in touch with her fear of Loren “wandering,” by naming, talking to and comforting that little girl part of herself. Loren is visibly moved by watching Kathy’s exploration, gains a deeper understanding of her vulnerability, and agrees to work on his own fearful part that has an impulse to “wander.”
