You mentioned fragmentation, i just saw that the title of Sandra Ingerman's book was "Soul Retrieval:  Mending the Fragmented Self".
It seems that soul loss, or fragmentation is caused by not wanting to experience and feel strong unpleasant emotions that occurs.
In his talk "Sitting through pain & catharsis" Scott Mandelker talked about the necessity to be willing to feel once pain and to be able to
be grateful for it. He said that wanting to avoid or repress pain is an agression upon oneself. What i understand is that being able to feel the pain will start to heal it and allows the soul part or subconscious pattern to reintegrate.

I do agree that at some point we need to be willing to feel pain, no matter how challenging. As children, when something traumatic happens we usually can't make that choice, but as an evolving adult, I think we must be willing to be conscious of it all and move on. I struggle with that in being here in this world, where so much suffering goes on—it's one thing to bear your own suffering and another level altogether to bear the suffering you observe in the world.

What i don't understand is that shaman think that a part of your soul can be stolen by another ill intentioned person you had a toxic relationship with.

I don't think anything is stolen. I think there are energy exchanges which happen. I think you can leave parts of yourself with others, and parts of others can lodge in you, with those you are enmeshed with. These parts can be given back and retrieved. Sexual relationships have yet another level to energy exchanges. And everything is multilayered and intertwined.

I've also read that you can retrieve soul parts from a past live.

I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. I worked with a girl whose mother saw a hypnotist for her asthma and she spontaneously regressed to a past life. While under she relived a past life where she and her husband killed their 2 children and themselves because they were starving. After the session her asthma disappeared and her daughter (the girl I worked with) understood why she was afraid of dolls and knives (her father killed her with a knife while holding her doll). Her mother in this life was her mother in that past life, and the past life mother had killed the son by strangulation (which created the asthma in this life).

Diana, do you sense that your 6 years old part is still living and integrated in you now  ?

Yes. Absolutely. I have a renewed sense of playfulness. I have a Hello Kitty license plate cover.
