In this episode of Going Inside, I’m interviewed again on Mannah’s Therapeutic Astrology Podcast (TAP). Mannah, an Evolutionary Astrologer and Trauma Therapist, explores how astrology informs her therapeutic work, while I dive into Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work. We discuss how to compassionately connect with protective parts, create internal attachment repair, and navigate the challenges therapists face when maintaining compassion without an agenda. If you’re a therapist, coach, or anyone interested in trauma and self-discovery, I think you’ll find this episode both inspiring and practical.

Key Takeaways:

1. Every part of us, even those with extreme behaviors, has a protective role rooted in past experiences or trauma.
2. Accessing self-energy with compassion and curiosity allows protective parts to feel safe and begin healing.
3. Internal Family Systems (IFS) fosters de-shaming and deeper healing by creating space for connection between self and parts.
