I hope you are well! Here is Part 6 (out of 7) of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Christianity series, which addresses polarities. This is relevant in our lives as it is common to feel that there is an internal war, as we carry on with our responsibilities. We might be smiling on the outside, but stressed inside, and in time, this can lead to burnout. Polarities is a term used in IFS to explain that we have parts that are proactive (managers), trying to avoid problems. This works until we encounter triggers, which is when the Firefighters take over, trying to soothe our hurts, at which point the Managers can get upset. In this short episode, ✨ I unpack Polarities✨ Address the 'Cycle of Caring' described in psychological research and how it can be disrupted for Christians.✨ Go over the 'treadmill effect' leading to burnout.✨ The solution that is in your control!
