IFS & LB/RB

Question 1 of 7
When faced with a challenging emotional situation, what is your first instinct?
Immediately analyze what went wrong and create a plan to prevent it from happening again
Feel overwhelmed by emotions and need time to process before I can think clearly
Notice physical sensations in my body and sit with the feeling
Create a mental story about why this happened and who is responsible
Feel like I'm back in a similar situation from my past, experiencing it all over again
Question 2 of 7
How do you typically remember significant life events?
As clear narratives with logical sequences of cause and effect
Through vivid sensory details - colors, sounds, smells, and feelings
As emotional impressions that seem to exist outside of time
By organizing them into lessons learned and protective strategies
Some memories feel frozen and can suddenly overwhelm me as if they're happening now
Question 3 of 7
When someone criticizes you, which response feels most familiar?
I immediately defend myself with logical arguments and evidence
I feel hurt in my body and might withdraw to protect myself
I experience a flood of emotions that feels overwhelming and timeless
I create mental justifications for why their criticism is unfair or wrong
I feel small and vulnerable, like a child who has done something wrong
Question 4 of 7
How do you experience your inner dialogue during stress?
A clear voice explaining what I should do and why
More like wordless knowing or intuitive guidance
Overwhelming waves of feeling without clear words
Multiple voices arguing about what's safe and what's dangerous
Silent suffering or a sense of being alone and misunderstood
Question 5 of 7
When you think about past hurts, how do you typically experience them?
As stories with clear beginnings, middles, and lessons learned
Through my body - tension, heaviness, or physical sensations
As if they're happening right now, with the same intensity
As evidence for why I need to be careful and protect myself
As deep, wordless pain that feels infinite and unchanging
Question 6 of 7
How do you typically approach creative expression or art?
I plan it out, research techniques, and follow structured approaches
I let it flow intuitively, without naming or analyzing what emerges
It becomes a way to express feelings that have no words
I worry about doing it "right" and often judge my creations
It connects me to parts of myself that feel young and authentic
Question 7 of 7
When you feel most peaceful and centered, how would you describe that state?
Everything makes sense and I have clear understanding of my situation
I'm fully present in my body and connected to the moment
Emotions flow freely without getting stuck or overwhelming me
I feel safe and my protective parts can relax
All parts of me feel welcomed and integrated
