Episode notes
IFS Model
- Your mind is a collection of parts, similar to how relationships work.
- IFS therapy addresses these parts: protectors, exiles, and the self.
Protectors
- Protectors shield you from pain, like social anxiety preventing rejection.
- These protectors, while helpful, can be harmful through actions like binge eating.
Exercise: Identifying Protectors
- Close your eyes, notice your breath, and find tension in your body.
- Visualize a triggering event and ask the tense part if it wants to communicate.
