# Working with our guide

We currently have four guided experiences in Refract:

1. **Deep parts work:** explore your internal family system, and get to know Protectors and Exiles
2. **Parts check in:** spend time with your parts daily with a simple check in
3. **Unblending flow:** a short exercise to come back to Self and help your parts feel seen
4. **Focusing**: be with and unstick your emotion process

### Interactive guided conversation

{% hint style="success" %}
Refract is currently built to an interactive **guided meditation / inquiry**. It’s designed to help you go deep! It’s less of a flexible and open-ended experience.
{% endhint %}

What this looks like:

* Talk out loud to the guide, or type your answers 🤩
* Try to respond in the format it asks.
* Know going into a session that you'll be following a script rather than able to choose your adventure, at least at this current phase in Refract's journey!
* Unlike a guided meditation, Refract listens to what you say and reflects your words back to you, creating a much more engaging container for going deep.

### During a session

* Take a second to put your devices on **do not disturb** if it feels good.
* Try to **speak clearly**. We recommend using your laptop microphone over the microphone in your bluetooth earphones/headphones.
* **Tap space** to speak. Tap again when you're ready for the guide to respond.
* If, at any point, you feel **defensive or disconnected** or blended while interacting with your parts, let the guide know. It will help you navigate the resistance.
* If you are feeling **lost or confused** or doubtful at any point, ask the guide for clarification.
