Five Attachment Needs:
A felt sense of safety and protection
A felt sense of being seen, heard, known, and understood (attunement)
A felt sense of being comforted, calmed, and reassured (soothing)
A felt sense of being valued, cherished, and treasured (expressed delight)
A felt sense of being supported in becoming one’s own unique best self

Hello Drew. Very interesting topic. Dr. Peter is talking about "all our parts" in this episode. I get the sense he is talking about more than our body, soul, and spirit but he did not explain what he is meaning. Can you elaborate just a bit on what he is referring to? He gave the example of fear in the story of his son's accident. He felt he had no fear because he could not afford to be fearful when he was growing up so are our parts made up of our emotions? I do marriage and family counseling and porn /masturbation is often a topic of discussion so this introduction to IFS is fascinating.
