Using IFS Therapy to Boost Self-Esteem & Create Inner Calm | Seth Kopald
Today on Men Talking Mindfulness, we explore self-discovery and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with Dr. Seth Kolpal, IFS practitioner and author of Self-Led: Living a Connected Life with Yourself and Others.
Dr. Seth explains the idea of the self as a "sun" obscured by "cloud" parts, introducing the 13 key ingredients of self—including the eight C’s (like compassion and clarity) and the five P’s (such as patience and playfulness). Through a live demonstration, he guides Jon in connecting with his inner child, revealing insecurities behind his work ethic and the importance of approaching all parts with compassion.
Dr. Seth highlights IFS as a framework for creating harmony within, rooted in ancient wisdom, and as a powerful tool for self-love, healing, and connection.
