Whether you're a betrayed partner trying to make sense of the chaos inside you, or a man who can't seem to stop behavior he hates — this episode is for you.
Kristin sits down with Jenna Riemersma, LPC - certified IFS therapist, CSAT supervisor, and bestselling author of Altogether You and her newest book Move Toward — to explore what happens when we stop fighting the parts of ourselves we don't like and start moving toward them instead.
Jenna unpacks:
- Why IFS (Internal Family Systems) is deeply rooted in scripture — and why the image of God inside you is the key to transformation without shame
- What it actually means to have "parts" — and why feeling torn, contradictory, or out of control doesn't mean something is wrong with you
- The three-step tool (Notice, Know, Need) you can use in your most triggered moments — no therapist required
- Why compassion unlocks what control never could, for both the betrayed partner and the person with unwanted sexual behavior
- How to speak for your parts instead of from them — and why that changes everything in conflict and in healing
This is not a shortcut. It's a different road entirely. Move Toward is available now wherever books are sold. Free resources, guided videos, and downloadable worksheets are available at movetoward.com.
