6.1 Embracing our Shadow Parts with Psychotherapist, Britt Frank

Psychotherapist and Trauma Specialist, Britt Frank, joins Caggie to unpack what our shadow parts are and why it’s important to understand them as well as what purpose they serve. We all have trauma to some degree (even if you don’t think you do.) and this often plays out in relationships, this Ep covers self-soothing practices and tips for preservation strategies for when you become activated.   Other areas of discussion include being in tune with our bodies, and how mental health is far less about the mind and more about what’s happening in our nervous system. They also discuss the Saturnian initiation from Maiden to Woman and unpack the saviour complex that many of us carry and why we might be resistant to step into our power. They also touch on Internal Family System therapy (IFS)- something you may be familiar with if you enjoyed the episode with Gabby Bernstein in Season 5. Here's a link if you wish to listen.  The Key Saturnian themes covered in this episode are: Autonomy + Responsibility.
