Episode notes
Parts Work
- The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model suggests our psyche is a community of "parts".
- Each part has a unique perspective and purpose, ultimately aiming to protect us.
The Self
- The "Self" in IFS, similar to DBT's "wise mind", is our core.
- Shannon links the High Priestess tarot card to this Self, representing intuition and access to conscious and unconscious.
Understanding Your Parts
- Understand your core Self and explore your inner parts using the IFS model.
- Doing this fosters self-compassion, empathy, and awareness, even for "negative" parts.
