Firefighter
The Deflector
The part that shifts attention away from discomfort with distraction or diversion
Typical thoughts
Everyone experiences their parts differently. These are examples of what it might sound like, not a diagnosis.
Its possible good intention
It makes sure you don't have to look while it hurts too much. It keeps the unpleasant at a distance until you're ready.
In coaching, we meet this part with curiosity and listen to what it wants to show you.
