IFS and Dissociation with Joanne Twombly
The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcast
IFS coping skills - safe space for parts
Managing internal parts effectively is crucial for navigating trauma and stress. It's important not to overwhelm all parts simultaneously, as this can lead to dis-regulation. Creating a designated safe space for parts allows them to process their burdens individually without interference from others. This involves establishing an environment with soundproofing and emotional protection to facilitate their healing process. Through cooperation, parts can achieve a sense of settledness and confidence, positively impacting their interactions and overall well-being. Practical strategies, like internal communication and rehearsing coping skills, empower individuals to handle external situations—such as stressful events like court appearances—by ensuring specific parts are safely contained when needed. This process emphasizes the importance of internal dialogue, allowing parts to choose whether to engage with their surroundings or retreat to safety, ultimately leading to better mental health outcomes.
