Description

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic approach that helps us understand the inner workings of our minds. Learn about the concept of "parts," the role of protectors, and why it’s completely normal to experience conflicting feelings. I’ll also share a personal story about how I’ve recognized my own parts in action and the impact it’s had on my life.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

1. What is Parts Work?
2. The difference between "parts" and "Self."
3. An introduction to protectors, exiles, and how they shape our behaviors.
4. Why it’s completely normal to have conflicting emotions or desires.
5. A personal example of recognizing and understanding a protector part.

Key Takeaways:

• We all have "parts" inside us, each with its own voice and perspective.
• Protectors are parts that work hard to keep us safe and manage our internal world.
• Internal conflicts, like wanting growth but fearing change, are signs of different parts expressing their needs.
• Understanding these parts can help us lead a more authentic and balanced life.

Journal Prompt for Reflection:
Take a moment to reflect:

• What conflicting feelings or inner debates do you notice in yourself?
• Can you identify a moment when a "part" of you felt strongly about something?
