The Journey to Integration using Internal Family Systems with Hillary Owen

Hillary Owen of Driftwood Healing joins us again today inviting us to journey inward as she shares about Internal Family Systems.  Hillary takes a complex topic like IFS and makes it easy by using imagery and storytelling. We learn that we all have different parts that make up our Internal Family Systems. All of our parts are inherently good but not all of our parts need to have the same authority in our lives. Hillary helps us journey through the expired behavior that is no longer serving us and reclaim the freedom of wholehearted living by embracing all of our parts. If you are interested in working through complex issues with compassionate care contact Driftwood Healing. Things we mentioned in this episode (or meant to anyways):We Can Do Hard Things: The Most Radical Way to Heal We Can Do Hard Things: Inside an Internal Family Systems SessionNo Bad Parts by: Richard SchwartzInside Out 2The Enneagram Spiritual Direction Radical Sacred Attachment Styles Episode with Hillary Exploring the Complexities of Grief with Hillary Chapters00:00 Introduction to Internal Family Systems and Grief04:26 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy09:47 The Role of Family in Internal Work14:03 The Importance of Integration in Parts Work18:43 Preparing for the Internal Journey29:41 Engaging with Parts and Finding a Therapist36:27 Navigating Spiritual Practices as a Parent38:57 Understanding Self-Denial and Cooperation42:10 The Role of Trauma and Mental Load in Identity45:36 The Importance of Silence and Community48:51 Integrating Parts Work and Enneagram Insights53:49 Transformative Moments in Personal Growth01:00:04 Resources for Deeper Understanding
