Description

We like to talk about Addiction on the podcast! 

I'm excited to talk to Mary Kruger (again!) and Cece Skyes who wrote a Chapter in the Altogether Us book entitled, "IFS and Addiction: Compassion for the Addictive Process."

We talk about:

• Alternatives to a manager led (client's or family or therapist's) "Plan"
• Working with your own parts (helper, rescue, fixer, advice giving) when working (or living) with others who have 'Extreme Firefighters'
• "Exiling firefighters is not working"- What if we welcomed their advice and wisdom?
• Bridges 
  • how IFS can Bridge the polarization between the addiction world and the psychological world
  • creating them between ALL parts involved in the addictive process
  • bringing curiosity to the systematic interactions of the parts

Enjoy!
