Mistakes with IFS: What I Learned From Diving Headfirst

from Adventurous Thoughts · host Rachel Leedom

An updated perspective on the heels of my previous episode on Internal Family Systems (IFS), which I hope serves as a cautionary tale. This is an intensive form of therapy that can tackle some very deeply rooted trauma, and I naively opened Pandora's box with it this past week. But, we live and learn! In this episode, I share the importance of going slow and what I'm doing to step off the hamster wheel of self-development + healing work. I've always been a "run full force" kinda gal, so teaching myself to slow it down, move gently, and embrace the total "okayness" of exactly where I am is an awkward new beginning. Support the showWhether you’re here for deep questions, unexpected laughter, or just the reminder that you’re not alone through the pain, you’re in the right place.
