Core Self

My therapist (that's new too) yesterday talked about the idea of the "core self." He referenced a theory (that I can't remember) that used the metaphor of each person having a core self, and then many parts. The core self, is what I connect in overeaters anonymous to God's will. The core of you knows your path. Then there's all theses other parts. Sometimes to parts end up dominating things (for whatever reason). He wants to help me untangle everything so that I can be more guided by my core self, and not my all the parts. This all sounds so nice. But it's hard when it comes down to practice. I'm still processing it.
