Navigating Internal Conflicts with Internal Family Systems

This week I interviewed Cece Sykes, an IFS trainer and therapist. We discussed what happens when we get “stuck” in behaviors that might feel good in the moment, but which we know don’t help us get what we really want out of life.

Feeling conflicted is a normal part of life, and can often lead to the sensation of being “stuck.” The polarization can be overwhelming and frustrating, as our “manager” parts struggle to maintain stability and a high level of function, while our “disruptor” parts initiate behaviors that are often misguided attempts to fulfill our unmet needs. Behaviors like this include:

• Overeating
• Drinking too much
• Overspending
• Having an affair

And so on.
