How to Respect Your Email Friends

Is there just one “you”? We have been taught that we have a single identity, but when the voices inside our heads don’t match our own self perception, emotions heighten and we might even question our entire existence. Want to know a little secret? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but feel liberated in knowing that there are no “bad” parts of you. 

Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades and we are honored to have him on the show to talk about his new book “No Bad Parts.” In this episode, you’ll learn what IFS is and why it has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery. 

You’ll also hear role play with both K+L, as Dr. Schwartz walks them through uncovering their own abandoned parts. When we learn to love all of our parts, we can learn to love all people, and ultimately this can help heal ourselves and the world. 

We also talk about:

• What is the Internal Family System model? 
• The importance of honoring and communicating with our parts
• Making often maligned parts into powerful allies
• How IFS reveals that there are no bad parts
• K+L on their abandoned parts 
• Psychedelics and IFS 
• The power of your “protector” part
