Do you ever notice conflicting feelings inside you, like a part of you wants something while another part holds back? Parts work is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that we are made up of many different aspects of self, each holding specific emotions, beliefs, or roles that have formed through our life experiences. These parts often show up in response to past events, and in therapy, we learn howto relate to them with curiosity rather than judgment.
Collage is an art form that offers an external reflection of these internal parts. It is a process that doesn't ask us to create something from scratch, but instead invites us to gather parts that are already in existence.
