  I think you might find an idea or two here. http://www.consciousbody.com/resources.html ----------------------------------------------------- Rather than thinking of yourself as one monolithic person, imagine you are made up of different people. Anyone who has ever said, “A part of me wants to do this, but another part of me wants to do that,” knows about these inner parts. To say “a part of me” is not just a figure of speech, it is a reflection of psychological reality. These parts are not an abstract idea, they are as real as any person, and they exist in everyone. Like the eyes in a peacock's tail, these many selves are discrete, shimmering components of the personality and the psyche. Selves are natural and normal. Everyone has them. They express themselves freely all the time in the various roles we play in our lives. Some of these selves are familiar and acceptable to us. Others lie buried, banished from our lives. These buried selves carry a key to the psychodynamic component of illness. When a part of us has been neglected too long, it emerges through the body as if it is rattling the bars of a cage, crying, “I must express myself. LET ME OUT!” If we do not hear the tugs and calls of buried selves, they eventually poke through the physical form as illness or other difficult conditions. Like great whales, they must come up for air from the waters of the psyche.
