In this special crossover episode of Going Inside and the Therapeutic Astrology Podcast, I’m interviewed by Mannah once again to explore the nature of anxiety through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens. We discuss how anxiety operates within the system, its connection to deeper fears, and how working with parts can help navigate uncertainty and fear. Together, we unpack the downward arrow technique, the role of protectors in managing anxiety, and the power of self-led healing in transforming our relationship with fear.

Key Takeaways:

1. Anxiety often masks a deeper fear of abandonment. 
2. Healing isn’t about eliminating fear but learning to hold it.
3. Our protectors work hard to keep us safe, but self-leadership offers another way.
