I have been wanting to make this video on Unattached Burdens for about 6 months, but I wanted to wait until I had processed my experience and felt calm clarity. It's been a bit of a roller coaster, but I do feel that now.

An Unattached Burden is the IFS term for an entity, usually malevolent (if it's a "burden"), like a demon or jin, who is not a true part of our system, though there can also be benevolent entities, like angels or guides.

In this video, I talk about Dick Schwartz's concerns with the discussion of UBs, Bob Falconer's work with UBs, my own history and more recent experience with parts I thought were UBs, my work with practitioners traumatized by Bob's UB training, and my current thoughts on exploring UBs. (Spoiler: Anything that we are not afraid of inside cannot harm us, we deal with UBs exactly the same way we deal with parts - with calm, confident, compassion, and UBs are NOT actually Unattached).
