Nobody’s life is perfect. Sometimes it can be hard to love our lives, and our coping mechanisms, when things get hard. The problem is, the only way to make it better is to make peace with it. Gabby Bernstein, an IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner, speaker, author, and mindfulness master, is here to help us.

We all struggle with negative feelings and behavioral patterns, but do you know where these thoughts and patterns are coming from? Probably not. Gabby explains her 4-step “check-in” tool to help you practice IFS in real time to identify and work through your feelings, put an end to negative patterns, identify your needs, and find peace with all of your parts–especially the ones you dislike.
