We sit down with psychotherapist Kirsten Davidson to unpack why couples drift into disconnection and how Internal Family Systems therapy can help us lead ourselves with more clarity, compassion, and courage. We challenge the stories we tell ourselves in conflict, practice speaking from “parts” instead of blame, and lay out simple shifts that rebuild real connection. • assumptions driving communication breakdowns and unnecessary hurt • avoiding hard talks out of fear of the truth and discomfort • using IFS “parts” language to create space and reduce shame • defining self-energy and what “self-led” looks like at home • turning fights into dialogue instead of debate • choosing radical honesty about our limits and patterns • why couples counseling works better when we go earlier • tips for newlyweds and engaged couples to benchmark what works • resources to learn IFS, including Richard Schwartz's No Bad Parts • how we build hope when couples feel exhausted and stuck Coming June 23: Happy Hacks: 101 Science-Backed Ways to Boost Happiness, Reduce Stress, and Build a More Meaningful Life.Available now for Kindle Pre-Order for 99¢Written by Dr. Dave Schramm, this practical and uplifting new book offers simple, research-based strategies to help you build greater happiness, strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and create a more meaningful life—one small habit at a time.Available June 23 wherever books are sold.The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the Utah Marriage Commission.Visit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org Podcast.stongermarriage.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongerMarriageLifeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strongermarriagelifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.comhttp://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com/
Why do so many businesses hit a ceiling at around 10 employees? Many founders start their business because they're brilliant at what they do. In the early days, decisions are fast, communication is simple, and the founder sits at the centre of everything. Then the business grows. Suddenly, what made the business successful starts to become the thing holding it back. In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent speaks with Tameron Chappell, founder of Athinka, a business psychology consultancy that helps organisations build healthier, higher-performing teams using evidence-based psychology rather than management fads and airport business books. Tameron explains why the transition beyond 10 employees is one of the most challenging moments in a founder's journey, how personality dynamics influence team performance far more than technical capability, and why shared leadership is critical for sustainable growth. About Tameron Chappell Tameron is the founder of Athinka, a consultancy specialising in business psychology and team effectiveness. Working primarily with startups and scale-ups, Tameron combines psychodynamic and systemic approaches to help founders and leadership teams understand the hidden patterns, behaviours and relationships that influence performance. His work often begins when traditional consulting approaches have failed to deliver lasting results, helping organisations uncover the deeper causes of team dysfunction and leadership challenges. In this episode: Why businesses often stall at 10 employees Many founders unknowingly create a business model that relies entirely on them. As the team grows, this becomes unsustainable. The founder becomes the bottleneck for decisions, problem-solving and accountability. Tameron explains why the 10-person mark is a critical inflection point and why leaders must begin building shared ownership and leadership much earlier than they think. The uncomfortable reality of scaling leadership One of the biggest mindset shifts for founders is recognising that they may not always be the best person for their current role. Growth requires leaders to continually evolve and sometimes redefine their responsibilities. Tameron discusses why succession planning, delegation and leadership development should be part of the scaling conversation from day one. Why personality matters more than technical skills Recruitment often focuses heavily on experience, qualifications and technical competence. However, Tameron argues that personality fit, behavioural tendencies and stress responses are often far better predictors of long-term success. Past performance in one environment does not guarantee success in another. Understanding how individuals naturally operate under pressure can significantly improve hiring decisions and team performance. Understanding the psychology behind team dynamics Rather than viewing personality through simplistic labels and categories, Tameron describes personality as a complex mixing deck of traits that interact differently depending on circumstances. Helping team members understand their own preferences and those of colleagues can reduce conflict, improve communication and increase trust. Evidence-based business psychology Athinka's approach is grounded in established psychological theory and research. The consultancy combines: • Psychodynamic approaches to explore the relationship between an individual's inner world and workplace behaviour. • Systemic approaches to uncover hidden organisational patterns and group dynamics. The result is practical insight that helps teams function more effectively and leaders make better decisions. Standout Quote "Most businesses don't stop growing because of strategy. They stop growing because the founder's control model no longer works." Key Takeaways • The 10-employee mark is often the first major scaling challenge. • Founders must evolve their leadership style as the business grows. • Shared leadership creates stronger, more resilient organisations. • Personality and behavioural fit matter more than technical skills alone. • Team effectiveness improves when people understand how others naturally operate.

Mike Hohnen's practical interpretation of Dave Snowden's Cynefin model, especially for founders navigating complexity, pace and ambiguity. Mike makes complexity human and usable. Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding your inner architecture, your triggers, and how to lead yourself with more clarity and compassion. His book No Bad Parts is a great entry point. Systemic thinking for teams and organisations = anything that helps you uncover the hidden patterns around you. John Whittington's blogs (start with his views on Founders and their Origin Story https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johntkwhittington_systemiccoaching-founders-theoriginstory-activity-7452030365994569728-s7wJ?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAC1NiYBYHjcV1QthjsMa96N6IIja61N-Mo ), Jan Jacob Stam's Systemic Leadership, and Tess Cope's Harness and Your Team Is Not The Issue are excellent. Trait‑based personality models such as Lumina Spark, Hogan, or NEO Primary Colours. These help you understand behaviour under pressure and in context. (N.B. Not Type tools like MBTI, DISC, Insights or Strengths, they're fun and ubiquitous, but they don't stand up to psychological scrutiny. If you want something highly practical, David Marquet's intent‑based leadership work (Turn the Ship Around, Leadership is Language) and his short Leadership Nudges videos on YouTube are brilliant for everyday behavioural shifts. And of course… if you've got humans in your business and don't fancy reading all these theories and ideas come and find me - I'm always curious about your world, your successes and challenges. Find me on LinkedIn or at Tameron.Chappell@athinka.com and if you mention you came across me via Kevin's podcast I can offer you a no-strings-attached Diagnostic Conversation where we can focus on your situation, leadership, team and organisation.
In this episode, we explore the reality that many people experience on a plant-based or vegan journey: imperfection. From cravings and convenience to social situations, family dynamics, and emotional ties to food, living in alignment with your values isn't always linear—or simple. Inspired by the book No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz, this episode introduces a powerful shift in perspective: instead of battling the parts of yourself that struggle, what if you listened to them? In this episode you'll learn: Why inner conflict is a natural part of behavior change How to navigate cravings and contradictions without guilt The role of compassion in creating lasting change How to stop all-or-nothing thinking in veganism A new way to relate to yourself through this journey An understanding of the different parts within us, stemming from the Internal Family Systems Framework This episode is an invitation to move from perfection to awareness, and from self-judgment to self-understanding.

In this episode, Ava Arani is joined by Ryan Hassan from The Centre for Healing for a grounded conversation on what happens when a core wound becomes active and how it can be met with compassion rather than self judgment. Ava shares a recent retreat experience in India where she noticed a persistent unsettled feeling that she first assumed was guilt, but later recognised as “not enoughness.” Through the lens of Internal Family Systems and the book No Bad Parts, they explore protector and exile parts, why there are no bad parts within us, and how healing can happen through contact, kindness, and the right kind of inner support. They also discuss why meditation can feel hard to commit to, how guided practice reduces resistance, and what trauma informed meditation looks like when the intention is healing rather than chasing transcendence.

Motherhood is a profound transformation — yet many moms feel overwhelmed by guilt, anxiety, and an unforgiving inner critic. In this episode of the Mindful Mama Podcast, Hunter Clarke-Fields talks with Dr. Angele Close, clinical psychologist and author of Unburdening Motherhood, about how the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model helps mothers understand their inner world, release “good mom” myths, and reconnect with calm, confidence, and self-compassion. Together, they explore matrescence, the role of the inner critic, and simple ways moms can access their steady, compassionate center — even in the middle of parenting chaos. In this episode, you'll learn: Why motherhood is a major identity shift (matrescence) How IFS helps us understand our inner “parts” Why the inner critic isn't the enemy What to do when worry and anxiety take over How IFS builds on mindfulness for deeper healing One simple IFS practice for tough parenting moments ABOUT HUNTER CLARKE-FIELDS: Hunter Clarke-Fields is the host Mindful Parenting Podcast (Top 0.5% podcast ), global speaker, number 1 bestselling author of “Raising Good Humans” and “Raising Good Humans Every Day,” Mindfulness Meditation teacher and creator of the Mindful Parenting Course and Teacher Training.

Snow-Maggedon is here and it ain't over yet. The blizzard warning continues until 1pm this afternoon…and then it'll be almost 60° by Friday. Go figure. In the news this morning, the latest on the search for Nancy Guthrie, an outbreak of Norovirus on a Princess cruise ship sickens over 150 people, Target is apparently going to sell less toys in the future, and a recap of last night's Oscars. In sports, the Bucks split the weekend with a loss on Friday and a win yesterday, the Badgers lost to Michigan in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament and still managed to get a five-seed for the NCAA men's bracket, Team USA beat the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic to advance to the championship game, Denny Hamlin wins in Vegas, and Team USA sweeps the hockey gold at the Olympics & Paralympic games! We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and we discussed a recent Reddit thread about movies that are 10/10 with no bad parts. Did you see Dave Grohl at that random BBQ serving up food? A group of dads in Texas got together recently and bought a vehicle for a beloved crossing guard who was using public transportation & rideshares after her car broke down, and another elderly worker is set for life after someone started a GoFundMe for him. Elsewhere in sports, a look at the First Four of the NCAA men's bracket, the Jim Irsay collection sold for a LOT of money, Auston Matthews is out for the season and now the Maple Leafs are asking the NHL to change it's suspension policy, and apparently Ronda Rousey is in the AEW now. If you're looking for a new gig, Pizza Hut is apparently looking for a crust connoisseur. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a golf cart DUI in #Florida, a #FloridaWoman tried to murder her own sister, a woman who ate some homemade fermented swordfish & got botulism, and a reporter in California who had an unexpected guest while doing a live shot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, we explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can support deeper meditation, psychological integration, and an authentic experience of divine communion. Drawing from yogic philosophy, contemplative practice, and modern therapeutic insight, this talk examines why sincere meditation and devotion sometimes feel blocked—even after years of practice. The core insight: spiritual realization flourishes most naturally when the inner world is coherent, stable, and Self-led. Internal Family Systems offers a practical framework for understanding the “parts” of the psyche—protective managers, reactive firefighters, and wounded exiles—and how unresolved inner conflict can quietly interfere with meditation, prayer, and daily spiritual life. When these parts are listened to, integrated, and guided by the Self, inner noise settles and spiritual practice becomes more effortless, spacious, and alive. The episode connects IFS with key yogic principles such as Īśvara Praṇidhāna (communion or surrender to the Divine), samādhi, and Self-realization, suggesting that psychological healing is not a detour from the spiritual path, but often a powerful accelerator of it. This conversation is especially relevant for long-time meditators who feel stalled, seekers struggling to sustain inner peace beyond the cushion, or anyone interested in bridging therapy, yoga, and contemplative spirituality in a grounded, discerning way.

This week, Thomas sits down with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, for an in-depth discussion on the power of healing in groups, intergenerational and ancestral trauma healing, and the relationship between therapy and spirituality—all topics that are featured in their forthcoming book; Releasing Our Burdens: A Guide to Healing Individual, Ancestral, and Collective Trauma.Thomas and Dr. Schwartz dive deep into the phenomena of ancestral and collective "legacy burdens", which are traumas from our shared past that unconsciously drive our current behavior and societal conflicts. They share therapeutic and spiritual strategies for addressing these inherited wounds, and discuss the urgent need for what Thomas calls a “collective healing architecture” to mend social fragmentation and revitalize our democratic systems.They also share insights on the importance of our interconnection with the natural world and the need for safe spaces to access “Self Energy,” where the profound impacts of individual parts work can amplify collective healing.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
**SPECIAL ENCORE PRESENTATION** Richard “Dick” Schwartz earned his PhD in marriage and family therapy from Purdue University. He coauthored the most widely used family therapy text in the United States, Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, and is the creator of the Internal Family Systems Model, which he developed in response to clients' descriptions of various “parts” within themselves. With Sounds True, Dick has written a new book titled No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon talks to Dick about the transformation that occurs when we welcome every part of who we are. He explains that even our most destructive parts have protective intentions, put in place to shield us from unprocessed pain, and details his method for accessing and mending these inner wounds. They also discuss the myth of the “mono mind,” and why the mind is naturally multiple; how “exiled” trauma can manifest as bodily pain; connecting with our core Self and letting it lead us in our healing; and how the language of “parts” can be useful in our relationship dynamics.

In this episode, we explore the more mystical, spiritual, and hard-to-pin-down ideas sprinkled throughout No Bad Parts. From talk of the Self as an eternal essence to the almost magical way parts seem to heal, we unpack the “woo-woo” elements of the book — the ones that made us pause, smile, or scratch our heads. Join us as we wrestle with what feels profound, what feels out-there, and how even the woo might hold wisdom.

This month we're exploring No Bad Parts—and this conversation brings that lens to the body. Dr. Hall traces a health-first childhood to a chiropractic career, then reframes common fears about the first adjustment (it's safer and gentler than it looks). Through a Parts Work lens, we explore how the body's “protectors” show up: muscle guarding as a protective part, sharp pain as a signal part, and the sympathetic fight/flight system as a vigilant manager—none of them “bad,” all trying to help. We look at referred pain (the ache isn't always the source), “turned-off” muscles and reactivation, migraines as vascular/nerve miscommunications, and why babies sometimes benefit from ultra-gentle neck work after birth. Dr. Hall offers practical ways to support your inner and outer systems—posture, daily movement, posterior-chain strength—so your parts (physical and psychological) can coordinate instead of compete. We close with wholeness as bio-psycho-social-spiritual integration: welcoming every part and giving each a job that truly serves.

They're protectors trying their best to keep you safe… even if their strategies no longer serve you.In this episode:What IFS (Internal Family Systems) is and how it worksWhy parts form in childhood, and how they affect us in adulthoodThe difference between exile, manager, and firefighter partsThe 8 C's of True Self: a compass for inner healingHow to tell when you're being “flooded” by a part (and how to come back to center)The surprising connection between parts work, epigenetics, and nervous system regulationCreative tools like journaling and “Parts Cards” to start exploring your inner worldWhen to seek professional support and how to begin your IFS journeyAnd why there are no bad parts, only misunderstood onesWhether you're feeling out of alignment, curious about how past wounds shape present behaviors, or just want to understand yourself better, this episode offers deep insight, humor, and hope.RESOURCES:Kate's YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TheRadiantLifeProjectIFS Playlist on Kate's YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLD14_nXiLme65kY8fzBoNvHi9J9jMEO1Richard Schwartz's book No Bad Parts:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=no+bad+parts+by+richard+c+schwartz&hvadid=694915120712Check out Susan's NEW E-book!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller

Self-Leadership: The Roadmap to Healing, Hope, and Deeper Intimacy In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis reflect on Marianne's powerful experience presenting at the ITAP (International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals) Conference, where she introduced a healing-intensive approach combining Frazier's Dissociative Table and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Together, they explore the theme of self-leadership—what it means to take ownership of your healing journey and to navigate pain, trauma, and emotional disconnection with intention and insight. They dive into the importance of understanding our internal parts, drawing from Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) and his concept of “No Bad Parts.” Listeners are guided to reflect on their emotional patterns, discover the unmet needs behind their actions, and learn how to respond to their emotions with compassion rather than reactivity. The conversation emphasizes that true self-leadership is not about perfection, but about authenticity, congruency, and ultimately, the ability to show up more fully in our most important relationships. Whether you're healing from betrayal, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Key Topics Covered: The role of self-leadership in trauma recovery and personal transformation Using the Dissociative Table and ART in a one-day intensive model Internal Family Systems and understanding our emotional “parts” The difference between insight and action in behavior change How trauma can lead to emotional reactivity and how to regulate it Why connection is the ultimate goal of healing and self-mastery The importance of giving yourself permission to pause and prioritize healing Resources Mentioned: Frazier's Dissociative Table Technique – A tool to identify internal parts and unresolved trauma Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – A trauma-informed approach for rapid emotional processing Internal Family Systems (IFS) by Richard Schwartz Book: No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (reference to “Sharpen the Saw”) Loving-Kindness Meditation – A mindfulness practice focused on compassion for self and others Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Insights on unmet needs and attachment ruptures in couples Quote from C.S. Lewis – “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” Listener Takeaway: You don't have to be perfect to lead yourself well. Begin by noticing your patterns, asking what your emotions are trying to tell you, and taking small, intentional steps toward the connection and healing you deserve. Self-leadership is ultimately a journey toward becoming the kind of person who can love—and be loved—deeply.
Many of us hold the convenient belief that we possess a single identity. Dr. Richard Schwartz began challenging the flatness of that assumption in the early 1980s. His curiosity led to the creation of the Internal Family Systems Model (IFS), which recognizes the role of internal “parts” or subpersonalities that resemble a family structure. Forty years later, Dick continues to expand on the model, exploring its capacity to resolve interpersonal conflicts, address broader societal issues, and reconnect us to our innate humanity. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth and Dr. Schwartz discuss how IFS helps clients reclaim their agency, restore inner harmony between their diverse parts, and strengthen their capacity to reveal their true self. About Dr. Richard Schwartz: Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, is the creator of Internal Family Systems, a highly effective, evidence-based therapeutic model that de-pathologizes the multi-part personality. His IFS Institute offers training for professionals and the general public. He is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and has published five books, including No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model. Dick lives with his wife Jeanne near Chicago, close to his three daughters and his growing number of grandchildren.

I'm so thrilled to welcome Dick Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), back to the podcast, as well as my friend Ocean, who brings her voice and lived experience to this important conversation. Today, we explore the intersection between IFS and the plural community--those living with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorders). What's the difference between DI parts and the IFS parts many of us talk about? How can we bridge misunderstandings between the IFS community and those living with more distinct parts? This conversation was deeply moving and healing. I'm so grateful to both Dick and Ocean for their honesty, wisdom, and compassion. In this episode, we explore: The differences and overlap between DI parts and IFS parts Why the plural community has sometimes felt unseen and misunderstood by IFS The harm in labeling parts as managers, firefightes and exiles The complicated relationship many survivors have with Self Energy Strategies for working with systems shaped by deep trauma Why trust, patience, and honoring every part is a prerequisite to healing Be sure to watch the extended video interview with Dick and Ocean over on our Substack. Favorite Quotes: “IFS was never meant to pathologize people. It was meant to honor the fact that all of us are multiple, and that those parts aren't what they seem.” — Dick Schwartz "There's a huge difference between saying, 'Your parts are managers, firefighters, and exiles,' and saying, 'I'm noticing some of your parts seem to be taking on these roles to protect you.'" — Ocean About Tiffany "Ocean" Morgan Tiffany Morgan (Ocean) is a Certified IFS therapist, consultant, and educator with lived experience of OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder). She specializes in eating disorders, complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders, and brings over 30 years of experience to her work supporting deep healing and system-wide trust. She is passionate about destigmatizing DID, neurodivergence, and the multiplicity of mind. She creates compassionate, inclusive spaces where all parts are welcome and seen. She also shares resources and reflections through her platform, tidesoftransformation.com, and co-sponsors the podcast A Couple of Multiples.

Welcome to part 4 of the How To Heal series. In this episode about radical listening, you'll learn strategies for listening more carefully and trusting your intuition and inner wisdom so that you can build a better relationship with your core self.You'll Learn:How to practice radical listening with compassion The 4 parts within you that you are listening toExamples of patterns that might not be serving you5 steps to radical listening and a deeper understanding of yourselfThe closer you move to your authentic, core self, the more content you will feel. This truest version of you feels peace no matter what is happening. -------------------------------------Healing is really about wanting to feel better. To feel freedom, joy, gratitude, peace, safety, and calm. To be kinder to yourself, become a good friend to yourself, notice your patterns, and make small changes to influence them. Those are our goals here.As my mentor, Martha Beck, says, “Your true nature, the part of you that always remembers what it is meant to be and never stops trying to be what it is, no matter what happens to her. Your birthright is to feel peace and joy and gratitude and love. And in your core, you carry all of that.” Radical ListeningThe goal of radical listening is to find your inner guidance to move away from the patterns that you've created to protect you from pain and toward new patterns that help you get what you actually want. We all have patterns in ways that we think, feel, and act. We need to look at them and ask ourselves where they're coming from. Are you trying to avoid pain? Are these patterns protecting you, or are they sabotaging you because you don't think you're worthy of feeling freedom, love, peace, and joy? The statements we're working with as we learn to radically listen are:I will listen to my needs and wants and see those as valid and important.I will listen to my intuition and trust my inner wisdom. Who Are You Listening To?When you practice radical listening, you are having a conversation with yourself. But who are you talking to? In his book No Bad Parts, Richard Schwartz outlines four parts that live within each of us: Your Inner ChildYou may have wounds or patterns that you developed in childhood. These were really important to you as a kid, but they might not be necessary now. These wounds are often based on attachment or authenticity. Perhaps you were conditioned in childhood to believe that you don't matter or that your needs aren't important. Or your need for security and attachment wasn't met, so you didn't feel safe. You may have been told all sorts of negative things about yourself. Or you were taught that you had to look or perform a certain way in order to be loved, valued, and accepted. For example, I grew up in a household where it often felt like there wasn't a grown up. As a result, I developed patterns of hypervigilance, overthinking, overplanning, overstructuring, and then getting easily dysregulated when things weren't going to my plan. Now that I am the adult, I've had to teach myself (and my inner child) that I am safe. The grown-ups are here.Were you taught that your value depended on your grades, performance in sports, or how nice you were? Did you hear that you were dumb, ugly, mean, selfish, lazy, rude, or a problem? What messages did you hear in childhood that you might still be acting out today? Maybe it's time to look at those messages and examine them. Where's the evidence? Your PainOur wounds and patterns can also come from culture - religion,...

Hi friends, welcome back to the podcast! I'm thrilled to share this deeply insightful conversation I had with Stacey Uhrig, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach who has a gift for breaking down the complexities of developmental trauma into something we can all understand and work with.In this episode, Stacey and I explore how our childhood patterns and core beliefs influence our lives—and how we can heal and transform them to find greater peace, joy, and connection. Stacey's approach draws heavily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz that looks at the different “parts” within us and how they work together—or sometimes in conflict—to shape our inner world.Here's what we cover:What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)? Stacey explains how our inner parts develop as a response to survival needs, creating a fascinating internal system that's here to protect us, even if it sometimes causes us stress or pain.Understanding Our Inner Parts: Stacey describes how these internal “managers,” “firefighters,” and “exiles” influence our behaviors, relationships, and decision-making.From Trauma to Wholeness: We dive into how IFS helps us connect with our authentic self, clearing emotional layers and finding self-leadership.Tools and Resources: Stacey shares her favorite books like No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz and encourages exploring IFS-trained therapists or coaches for deeper work.This conversation was so healing and enlightening for me, and I hope it resonates deeply with you too. I left feeling empowered to approach my inner world with more compassion and curiosity—and I can't wait for Stacey to come back for another episode!Connect with Stacey Uhrig:Website: flipyourmindset.comInstagram: @staceyuhrigYouTube: Flip Your MindsetStay Connected with Me:Website: katiefarinas.comInstagram: @katiemomandyogiEmail: katie@momontheverge.orgIf this episode spoke to you, I'd love for you to share it with someone you care about!

Hopestream for parenting kids through drug use and addiction
ABOUT THE EPISODE:Everyone knows the experience of internal dialogue and conflict about who we are and how we will respond to the world around us. It can feel as if there are parts of us at war with each other. For kids using substances, these parts can become extremely polarized – for instance, part of them wants nothing more than to use, and another genuinely desires self-control. My guest today says that while their inner parts are engaged in this debate about use, it's hard for them to see the underlying cause of the substance use or addictive behavior, whether that be loneliness, anxiety, or shame. Cece Sykes saw her first client almost 45 years ago, and since then has been doing incredible work with young people suffering from addiction and trauma. Cece is one of the first practitioners of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a framework for understanding the roles each of these parts are playing, discovering what role they play in our coping, and gaining a deeper understanding of our kids' needs and motivations.Interestingly, understanding IFS can change our relationship with ourselves as well. We all have these parts, and the self-examination that this framework provides can help us move beyond the unhealthy dynamics that often develop between parents and kids using substances. In this episode, Cece explains how that works, and how we can help our kids recoginze all the parts of them, without shame, and with more self-compassion.EPISODE RESOURCES:Cece Skyes, LCSW websiteIFS Therapy for Addictions“We All Have Parts,” by Colleen West“No Bad Parts,” by Dr. Richard SchwartzThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsLearn about The Woods, our private online community for dadsFind us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Jill is happy to welcome listeners back for the second part of her conversation with trauma-informed master coach Sarah Failla! (If you missed last week's episode, you can still go ahead and listen to this one now and go back and listen to part 1 later.) In the first part, Jill and Sarah had a fascinating conversation filled with twists and surprises, and they talked about topics such as faith, personal growth, and why Sarah ultimately left organized religion. Sarah and Jill also discussed internal family systems, also known as parts work, which they continue to talk about in this part. They explore parts work in depth and even explore Jill's own parts as an example of what Sarah's process looks like. Their conversation highlights how understanding these inner parts can lead to profound personal growth and healing, with Sarah and Jill engaging in a revealing exploration of Jill's own parts, including a protective "monster" and a vulnerable inner child, uncovering how these aspects have influenced her choices and self-perception. They discuss the importance of acknowledging and integrating these parts to move beyond past traumas and current challenges. Listen in to gain a deeper understanding of how parts work can offer new perspectives on personal development and emotional healing. Whether you're new to parts work or looking to deepen your practice, this discussion offers valuable insights and practical examples! Show Notes: [03:25] - What is parts work?

In this episode I have a paradigm shift that will alter your drive. We are all raised in the mono-mind belief system, the idea that we have one mind, and from this one mind we have an infinite amount of differing thoughts and emotions and impulses and urges. That we often feel are competing against each other. We think of our good selves and our bad selves. Our healthy and unhealthy aspects. And we get frustrated and feel guilty that our one mind seems so schizophrenic. My guest today has a very different theory and perspective. From his research he believes we have a multiple personality, and all the parts are doing what they are supposed to. If we understand this, we can use them in harmony to help us be our best selves. Richard C. Schwartz, is an American systemic family therapist, academic, author, and creator of the Internal Family Systems branch of therapy. He developed his foundational work with IFS in the 1980s after noticing that his clients were made up of many different pieces or "parts" of their "Self.” Dick is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and his latest of five books is called, No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model. The forward is by renowned music artist, Alanis Morissette who credits Dick's work with IFS as revolutionizing her own therapy and life perspective and even bringing her to her core spirituality. Famed physician Gabor Maté and psychologist Bessel Van Der Kolk attest to IFS as one of the most innovative and transformational therapies to have emerged in the present century. I sat down with Dick to dig into Internal Family Systems and the message in his new book, No Bad Parts, to uncover how changing our paradigm on the different parts of our minds can significantly alter what drives us for the better.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak discusses the concept of spiritual strength and power, focusing on how to cultivate these attributes through yoga and meditation practices. The core of the talk revolves around the teachings from the Yoga Sutras, particularly Sutra 23 in Chapter 3, which highlights the importance of friendship and its role in developing spiritual strength. The speaker explains that by contemplating and engaging in true friendship, one can cultivate immense spiritual power akin to the strength of an elephant. This concept extends beyond mere social friendliness to include deep, internal self-compassion and acceptance. The discussion delves into the idea that many people turn to meditation and spirituality due to underlying emotional or psychological distress. It is emphasized that instead of using meditation as a means to suppress these feelings, individuals should foster a compassionate relationship with themselves, recognizing and attending to their inner wounds. This approach not only enhances meditation practice but also leads to genuine spiritual growth and strength. Mr. Kurczak also shares personal anecdotes, including the impact of significant losses in his life, which forced him to internalize support and engage in profound self-analysis. He cites the book "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz, which aligns with the talk's theme of embracing all aspects of oneself with love and compassion. In conclusion, Ryan encourages listeners to practice self-analysis, cultivate internal friendship, and approach meditation not as an escape but as a means to become more present, alive, and spiritually robust. -- Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author.
