Ep. 3 - Unlearning The Stories You Didn't Write
from The Way Back In · host John Peterson and Tracy Uribe-Peterson
Most of us aren't living our own lives; we’re playing characters in a script written by our conditioning, our parents, and our past traumas—stories about who we should be, how we should work, and what we deserve. But what happens when we realize we’re allowed to edit the narrative?In this episode of The Way Back In, my sister and I dive into the process of "unlearning." We explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows us to identify the parts of us that are stuck in old stories and how to step into the role of the Author.We discuss:Identifying the internal parts that dictate our daily choices.The difference between who you were told to be and who you actually are.How to witness old stories without letting them drive the bus.Practical steps for reclaiming your agency and writing your own next chapter.If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a life that doesn't quite fit, it might be because you’re still reading from someone else’s book. It’s time to start writing your own.
