588. There Are No Bad Parts of You: Accepting Yourself wi...

What this episode covers

Is there just one “you”? We have been taught that we have a single identity, but when the voices inside our heads don’t match our own self perception, emotions heighten and we might even question our entire existence. Want to know a little secret? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but feel liberated in knowing that there are no “bad” parts of you. Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades and we are honored to have him on the show to talk about his new book “No Bad Parts.” In this episode, you’ll learn what IFS is and why it has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery. You’ll also hear role play with both K+L, as Dr. Schwartz walks them through uncovering their own abandoned parts. When we learn to love all of our parts, we can learn to love all people, and ultimately this can help heal ourselves and the world. We also talk about: What is the Internal Family System model? The importance of honoring and communicating with our parts Making often maligned parts into powerful allies How IFS reveals that there are no bad parts K+L on their abandoned parts Psychedelics and IFS The power of your “protector” part Resources: Website: www.ifs-institute.com Instagram: @internalfamilysystems Facebook: @InternalFamilySystems Twitter: @IFS_Model LinkedIn: IFS Institute No Bad Parts The Evolution of The Internal Family Systems Model The Larger Self Books: Internal Family Systems: Skills Training Manual Many Minds, One Self You Are The One You've Been Waiting For The Mosaic Mind Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model Level 1 Bundle: Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition, Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, Mosaic Mind Sponsors: Analemma Water | Try Analemma water at coherent-water.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off.

Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy.
