## Resource

What if fantasizing is actually keeping you from the life that you want? On the surface, focusing only on the things you desire can seem like a positive thing, but in reality, it’s often a sign you have a protective part running the show. Through the lens of parts work, Sarah unpacks how fantasizing parts protect us, why they show up, and how not processing the past will inevitably lead to more suffering.
