The Parts Party
Adriana Narai & Ella Shannon
Do you resonate with the idea of being a system of many different parts or subpersonalities that have different hopes and agendas for you, rather than feeling like one fixed personality? And perhaps you know deep down that your deepest authentic Self is already healed and whole, even if it most days it doesn’t really feel like that?
Same! This is the understanding of the Internal Family Systems model — created by Richard Schwartz.
This podcast is a celebration of what it is like to live as a system of parts, learning to be more Self Led. We welcome all your parts to this ’Parts Party’ with Adriana and Ella, therapists and IFS enthusiasts, as they discuss the lived experience of the Internal Family Systems.

IFS Meditation: IFS Somatic Tracking with Manya Ronay
This is an IFS meditation to get to know bodily pain or symptoms that have no structural cause. It is based on somatic tracking, a tool in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) that helps us observe pain and symptoms from a place of safety. IFS helps us get to this calm, compassionate place by taking care of the parts that are naturally worried about the pain. We then listen to the sensation and see what it is trying to teach us.

Originally from the USA and living in Israel, Manya shares openly about how her inner system has adapted to living in war time.

E4. Parts Party with Amitayus Syzygy
Amitayus Syzygy is an IFS Therapist from Phoenix, Arizona. He joins this episode of the parts party, sharing early experiences of loss, how thousands of hours of spiritual practices brought beautiful insights and experiences but ultimately did not change deep seated patterns in his relationships and how through Internal Family Systems he learnt to look after his own inner children, rather than hoping his partner could be responsible for their wellbeing.
Amitayus brings a rich discussion about Self and Self-Energy to this episode that I am sure listeners will delight in.
