You may have noticed that I didn’t say I would call for a recess when I saw that my partner had been hijacked by a part. The goal is not to talk only when my partner is Self-led. This is because I believe that it is my responsibility to try to hold Self-leadership even when my partner has lost it. If I can do that, often my partner’s Self returns, and my parts gain confidence in my leadership because I showed them that I could handle my partner’s toughest fighters.
