Lisamelinda, for the last couple of days I've been learning and practicing an NLP technique called "Parts Integration" in which you communicate directly with your unconscious parts and integrate them back into the Whole. I am finding this process to be amazingly profound and helpful, and maybe you would, too. I've been watching people in my training have incredibly inspiring and touching shifts, I myself had an internal conflict just - POOF! -- disappear using this technique. It felt WONDERFUL.
I'm planning to ask one of my associates to guide me through a Parts Integration that sounds somewhat similar to yours today, and I'll let you know what happens, if you like. You may want to consult an NLP practitioner, take NLP training, or learn just this process on your own. (I really enjoy having another person guide me through it, in the same way that although I can do a guided meditation on my own or scratch my own back, it feels really good to have another human involved
).
Meanwhile, if you're interested, you can see a video of the process at
Part 1 and
Part 2 (about 12 minutes total). The subject is looking at different parts than you are, but it would be the same process if one of your parts is "Wants to cut it off" and the other is "Wants to let it go."
