Episode notes
IFS Map: Exiles, Managers, Firefighters
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) maps inner parts as exiles, managers, and firefighters that protect against painful feelings.
- Understanding these roles reframes self-problems as well-intentioned parts rather than moral failures.
Facilitate Dialogue Between Polarized Parts
- Do identify polarized parts (e.g., restrictor vs. binger) and value each side like separate family members.
- Facilitate dialogue between them so they can negotiate coexistence instead of battling.
Diana Lets The Binger Speak
- Diana agrees to work with her binger first and Richard guides her to locate it in her body and notice her fear of it.
- The fear part gives permission to explore the binger when reassured it won't be allowed to take over.
