    39: Firefighter Parts and the Urge to Fix: The Drive to End Suffering

    Working with the “Digger” Parts: Slowing Down Trauma Healing with IFS and Nervous System RegulationHost Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, offers trauma coaching, and invites interest in a Thursday evening parts work intro group. He discusses a common healing pattern: parts that urgently “dig” for memories and answers in hopes of fixing overwhelming sensations and emotions. Jesse frames these “digger” parts as often firefighter parts rather than managers, emphasizing that they need nervous system regulation, respect, and validation more than logic or insight. He describes orienting practices to ground the body, then building a relationship with the part by welcoming it, acknowledging fear, and gently asking it to “turn down the volume” in small increments. Only after trust develops does deeper inquiry into the part’s history become possible. He normalizes the slow pace of trauma work, highlights behind-the-scenes effort not seen in quick session examples, and encourages patience, containment, and gradual release of burden.00:00 Welcome and Safety Note00:34 Coaching and Groups01:58 Meet the Digger Parts04:35 Firefighters vs Managers07:06 Regulate Before Digging08:40 Validate and Turn Down11:37 Build Trust Then Explore14:08 Ask for Space in IFS16:23 Patience Over Quick Fixes17:38 Lighten the Young Part19:40 Containment and Small Shifts20:29 Closing ThanksEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    38: You're Not "Too Much"- Understanding Your Parts

    Now on YouTube to watch!  https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunboundYou’re Not Too Much: Parts Work, Orientation, and Retrieving Parts Stuck in the PastHost Jesse Deal introduces the Trauma Unbound Podcast, shares that the show may be activating, and invites listeners breaking generational trauma to connect via the website, one-on-one trauma coaching, and an introductory Thursday-evening parts work group. Jesse discusses how being labeled “too much” often reflects others’ limited capacity to understand complex developmental trauma and dissociative parts systems, which can appear emotional, inconsistent, and confusing as different parts shift between connection and protection. The episode focuses on part retrieval through orientation to time and space, creating safe internal places, and patiently building trust without forcing. Jesse recommends journaling specific details about parts and doing parts mapping to track internal communication and change. A practical tool is using a physical map and printed photos of current life to repeatedly remind stuck younger parts of present-day reality and safety.00:00 Welcome and Safety Note00:34 Coaching and Parts Group01:59 When You Feel Too Much03:15 Inside a Trauma System05:13 Trauma Protection Patterns07:17 From Isolation to Curiosity09:24 Part Retrieval Basics12:05 Patience and New Pathways12:57 Journaling and Parts Mapping14:49 Using Maps for Orientation17:40 Photos and Sensory Grounding22:36 You Are Not Too Much23:28 Closing and EncouragementEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    Announcing a 12-Week Closed-Container Parts Work & Somatic Healing Group (with Theresa Napierala)Host Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, offers trauma coaching, and announces an intro parts work group on Thursday evenings, inviting questions via email or consults. Jesse is joined by somatic wellness practitioner Theresa Napierala to discuss a new 12-week closed-container group starting May 6 at 5:30 Pacific/7:30 Central. The group will include breathwork bookends for grounding and nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, journaling, parts mapping, work with polarized parts, direct access demonstrations and participant practice, and reflective witnessing to build safety, trust, and reduce shame. They describe exercises like sculpting/mirroring parts to create distance and compassion, emphasize titration, speaking for parts (not from parts), and updating parts that feel stuck in childhood. They stress going slowly, not bypassing protectors, and meeting participants where they are; contact details and links are in the show notes.00:00 Welcome and Trigger Warning00:34 Coaching and Parts Group Invite02:02 Meet Theresa and Group Vision02:58 Dates and Modalities Overview06:09 Why Closed Container Matters06:37 Breathwork Bookends and Grounding07:33 Journaling and Parts Mapping Basics08:08 Direct Access and Peer Witnessing09:32 Emotional Release Breathwork Visuals10:57 Integration and Self Leadership Skills13:58 Group Demos and Reflection Rounds16:41 Sculpting Exercise Externalizing Parts23:55 Titration and Speaking For Parts27:54 Updating Parts and Relationship Repair35:52 What to Expect and Safety Boundaries39:50 Contact Info Pricing and Wrap UpTeresa's Website https://www.energiesinmotion.comTeresa'a Email:  [email protected] me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    36: The Art of Attachment: Healing, Growth and Connection

    Attachment, Parts Work, and Finding Safety in Yourself and CreationHost Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, offers a content warning, and shares ways to connect with his website for one-on-one trauma coaching and an introductory Thursday-evening parts work group. He then discusses how attachment wounds rooted in childhood lack of mirroring can lead to parts that “bait” others or create push-pull relationship dynamics, often experienced without awareness and triggering fears of abandonment. Jesse emphasizes approaching these behaviors without shame, noticing them, and turning toward parts with curiosity to become a compassionate witness, reducing the need for reenactment. He highlights the value of borrowing nervous-system support through individual and group work, and broadens attachment beyond people to include relationship with nature, time, space, God, and self, encouraging daily cultivation of these connections and affirming listeners they are “right on time.”00:00 Welcome and Trigger Warning00:34 Coaching and Parts Group Invite02:00 Why Attachment Shapes Healing03:01 Childhood Mirroring and Baiting04:52 Push Pull Relationship Patterns06:46 Noticing Without Shame09:40 Compassionate Witness to Parts11:04 Why Group Work Helps12:36 Attachment Beyond People13:59 Time Place and Risking Independence18:30 Identity Self Attachment and Growth20:28 Closing You Are Right on TimeEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    35: How To Work With Your Inner Critic (Without Fighting It)

    Working With Your Inner Critic Through Compassion and CuriosityHost Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, shares his journey with childhood and relational trauma, offers a content warning, and invites listeners to the “Resistance” breaking generational trauma, noting his website, email, and one-on-one trauma coaching. He explores the inner critic as a protective part often shaped by a parent’s fearful voice, and describes how fighting it with an angry part creates internal chaos. Using his difficulty starting creative tasks as an example, he explains that avoiding exposure can create a false sense of safety that limits life. He models turning toward the inner critic with curiosity, listening for its origin story (a childhood humiliation episode like spilling crayons and being yelled at), validating the shame, and offering compassionate witnessing to build trust over time. He emphasizes that healing is ongoing but can become smoother with practice.00:00 Welcome and Safety Note00:55 Meet Your Inner Critic02:04 Whose Voice Is It02:48 My Creative Block Example06:24 Turn Toward the Critic09:03 The Crayons Memory11:31 Compassion Builds Trust13:41 Working With Parts Over Time15:57 Final Takeaways and ThanksEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    34: From Surviving to Thriving: Embracing Your True Self

    Everyone Already Has the Answers: Trauma Recovery Through Presence and Parts WorkHost Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, shares that the content may be activating, and invites the “Resistance” to break generational trauma while offering one-on-one coaching and ways to connect. Jesse explains a core belief that people already have the answers within them, but trauma-driven protective parts and external seeking can obscure identity and authenticity. He describes building trust with parts by slowing down, becoming present, and practicing self-witnessing—especially through photography, journaling, and spending hours alone in the woods with anxiety, anger, grief, shame, and ruminating thoughts. Jesse links trauma to a lack of attuned support, encourages compassion toward parts like the inner critic and planner, and describes shifting from survival and scarcity to presence, gratitude, boundaries, and surrender to reduce suffering and increase connection and compassion.00:00 Welcome and Safety Note00:54 Answers Within You04:11 Mission and Community Healing07:04 Practicing Presence in Nature10:12 How Trauma Shapes Parts12:53 Trusting Intuition Over Control15:31 Slowing Down and Gratitude20:58 Sacrifice and Long-Term Journey22:26 Befriending the Inner Critic23:24 Setting Down the Backpack25:10 Closing and InvitationEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    33: The Journey Home: Embracing the Inner World w/ Guest Teresa Napierala

    Before We Had the Language: Discovering Parts, Protectors, and Healing Through IFS and Breathwork Jesse and guest Theresa Napierala, a somatic wellness practitioner, discuss what life was like before they understood “parts” and how things changed after learning Internal Family Systems (IFS). Theresa describes realizing in junior high that she could show up as someone different to feel safer and more accepted, and how caretaking became a primary survival strategy tied to attachment and belonging, later leading to burnout. She shares patterns of caretaking in romantic relationships, resentment, inner criticism, anxiety, and profound depression, as well as strong protector energy (“mama grizzly bear”) when advocating for her chronically ill son. Both talk about feeling chaotic and ashamed before having language for parts, noticing somatic shifts, memory loops, dissociation, and different “masks” depending on context. They emphasize that parts have positive intent and that healing requires self-energy rather than parts trying to heal other parts; they describe “redos” where self-energy witnesses younger exiled parts and changes the internal experience even though the past event cannot be changed. They discuss the importance of working with protectors first, building trust through titration, updating protectors about present-day safety, and not pushing protectors away. Theresa explains how conscious connected breathwork can bring protectors “offline,” release stored stagnant energy, and then require integration sessions to update protectors afterward. Jesse describes mapping inner “terrain,” seeking permission before internal rearranging, and relating to protectors with curiosity and respect rather than management.  They conclude that recovery is an ongoing journey of development, empowerment, and self-leadership, with joy alongside fear, and that their caretaking capacities can be transformed into guided, boundaried attunement rather than self-betrayal.00:00 Welcome + Listener Safety & Support Resources00:57 Meet the Guest: Somatic Wellness & Talking to Your Parts02:41 Before the Language: Junior High Fight & Wearing Different Masks05:36 Caretaker Parts, Attachment, and the Cost of Belonging09:36 Burnout, Shame, and ‘Who Am I?’ Before IFS12:04 Relationships, Resentment, and the ‘Mama Grizzly’ Protector17:41 IFS Breakthroughs: Attunement, Self-Energy, and the ‘Redo’22:08 Seeing Protectors Clearly: Dissociation, Inner Critics, and Somatic Shifts28:45 Healing in the Body: Witnessing, Release, and Integration34:27 Quiet Time, Memory Loops, and Practicing Curiosity as Self-Energy38:51 Titration & Trust: Let Protectors Hit the Brakes When It’s Too Much40:04 Why Forcing Healing Backfires (and How to Work With Protectors)41:24 Breathwork + Parts Work: Deep Release Without the Story43:41 Post-Breathwork Integration: Updating Protectors After the System Shifts45:55 Mapping the Inner Terrain: Parts’ “Rooms,” Permissions, and Internal Chaos54:12 Stop Managing Parts: Curiosity, Needs, and New Roles59:54 The 10-Story Building Analogy: Meeting the Protector at the Door01:04:38 Protector Role Transformation Story: From Overspender to Budgeter01:09:47 Recovery as a Lifelong Journey: Empowerment, Self-Leadership, and Closing ReflectionsContact Teresa Email me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound

    32: Clarity Through Action: Embracing the Journey

    Clarity Comes With Action: Moving Through Procrastination, Freeze, and Fear of Being SeenHost Jesse Deal welcomes listeners to the Trauma Unbound Podcast, shares a safety note about potentially activating content, and invites listeners to connect via his website, email, or Instagram, including one-on-one trauma coaching. The episode focuses on clarity in everyday decision-making, especially when vulnerability and self-expression feel risky. Jesse describes procrastination and distraction as parts-driven strategies that keep him stuck in planning and future-focused rumination rather than creating (photography, guitar/music, and podcasting). He explains that clarity—one of the “eight Cs of Self”—comes through action, and identifies an internal “functional freeze” state where he appears fine externally but feels hypervigilant and shut down internally, leading to dissociation and a sense of failure. He discusses how fear of humiliation, rejection, and not fitting into others’ expectations keeps parts resistant to surrendering to the process, and emphasizes building trust with parts through small, titrated steps. Jesse gives an example of navigating external conflict in relationships by choosing connection over being right, practicing repair, and speaking honestly even without having a script, which helps parts learn that he is safe and no longer a child in danger. He closes by encouraging listeners to take risks, let go of needing everything figured out, and trust that action will bring clarity as parts settle, and invites continued contact for questions or support.00:00 Welcome + Safety Note (Trauma Unbound Podcast Intro)00:53 Today’s Topic: Clarity, Decisions & Vulnerability01:15 Procrastination, Planning Loops & Creative Avoidance03:04 Clarity Comes With Action: Working With Freeze Responses06:17 Surrendering to the Process & Befriending Protective Parts07:34 Functional Freeze, Dissociation & the Inner Critic Spiral10:12 Breaking Out of the Box: Fear of Judgment & Rejection14:26 Titration & Building Trust With Parts Through Small Steps15:53 Real-Life Example: Conflict, Repair & Choosing Connection17:57 Applying It to Creativity (Photo/Video) + Closing Encouragement20:07 Final Takeaway: Take Action, Let Clarity Unfold + How to Reach MeEmail me:  [email protected]:  https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.comWebsite Group Page https://www.traumaunboundcoaching.com/trauma-informed-group-coachingIG:  @traumaunboundYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traumaunbound
