Her Body in Mind

In this episode, we explore the transformative psychological framework known as Internal Family Systems (IFS), developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz.IFS is built on a simple but powerful premise: the mind is naturally multiple. Rather than having one fixed personality, we are made up of distinct “parts” protective parts, wounded parts, striving parts, each carrying its own story, emotions, and intentions. At the core of this system is the Self: calm, curious, compassionate, and capable of leading.In this foundational conversation, you’ll learn:The core principles of Internal Family SystemsWhy symptoms are not pathology, but protectionThe roles of Managers, Firefighters, and ExilesWhat Self-energy is and why it mattersHow IFS reframes trauma, anxiety, and inner conflictWhether you’re new to IFS or deepening your understanding, this episode offers a clear and thoughtful introduction to the architecture of your inner world.DisclaimerThis podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute psychotherapy, diagnosis, or medical advice.
