Going Inside: Healing Trauma from the Inside Out Real IFS Therapy Session with "Sarah" - Internal Family Systems Demo Pt. 2
In this episode of the Going Inside Podcast, I do a second live Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy demo with Sarah, revisiting her journey of addressing heavy emotional burdens and discovering the power of creativity and play. We explore blocked imagination, a sense of responsibility for others' emotions, and the effects of reconnecting with playful, lighthearted parts. The session includes an unburdening process and Sarah learns how bringing creativity into daily life can foster emotional balance and resilience.
*This is part 1 of a 3-part series of real Internal Family Systems therapy sessions
*Please note that the client's name has been changed to protect their privacy.
Key Takeaways:
- Reconnecting with imaginative parts can help reframe heavy emotions and create space for joy and lightness.
- Releasing emotional burdens allows space for new, positive qualities like lightness, music, and playful energy to take root.
- Building relationships with parts helps manage challenging interactions and turn serious situations into opportunities for growth and play.
