The IFS framework was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz and acknowledges the multiple selves within an individual. This does not mean that someone has multiple personalities, but rather that within each of us we have different parts and in working with those parts we can better connect with our true selves.

Drop the BS w/ Dr. Kirleen56:The Family Brain Backstory w/ Megan GipsonOne of our most powerful backstories develops from the relationship we have or had with our family of origin. How we think, interact, and react today can so often be traced directly back to experiences with family. Having a close-knit and supportive family can provide emotional support, economic well-being, and increase overall health. However, the opposite is also true. When family life is characterized by stress and conflict, the health of family members is usually negatively affected. Everything from eating disorders to poor self-worth may be an unwanted consequence of unhealthy family dynamics. Learning how to successfully navigate the ups...2021-04-1534 min

I am celebrating my 100th episode by talking to my life long friend Meghan Judge (yes also Meg(h)an) about the reason I decided to create The Family Brain Podcast. As a therapist I understood the difficulties people go through to a certain degree, but when I lost my friend 5 years ago I was forever changed.
