Why We Have Concerned Parts—And How to Work With Them
Have you ever noticed a part of you that jumps in with worry, self-doubt, or over-preparation? That’s what I call a concerned part—and surprisingly, it’s trying to help you.
In my latest blog post, I explain:
Why we all have concerned parts
What they’re really trying to do
A simple 4-step process to shift your relationship with them
You don’t need to shut these parts down. You just need to listen differently.
IFS Group Coaching for Practitioners
If you’re a therapist, coach, or IFS practitioner, this group may be for you. Imagine being in a coaching group with up to seven of your peers and being supported by a Certified IFS Practitioner. In this powerful group, expand your Self-energy for a more Self-led personal and business life.
Self-energized
The Self in IFS can be a difficult concept to grasp. Maybe that’s because we’ve been getting it all wrong. What if there is no separate Self? Rather, Self is within each part, just waiting to be manifested as Self-energy.
How I use the IFS model for completion
I don’t feel complete until I feel resolved, finished, reconnected, clear, satisfied, or free. I feel complete when my questions are answered, when I feel fully reassured, or when I am no longer upset. I can also feel complete when I recognize that the push for completion requires more energy and effort than I am willing to exert. I can feel complete once I’ve decided I’ve done as much as I am willing to do to feel resolved.
What Are You Hanging On To?
What if letting go of hurt and resentment was a process similar to letting go of an old pair of shoes? Admittedly, it’s not so simple. But some of the same principles can be applied.
Settling
My “Not Your Typical Leadership Coaching” podcast host Martin Kettelhut and I meet each week to record our conversations about a variety of topics related to life coaching and leadership. When we first decided to do a podcast together, we made a long list of topics we could discuss. But what usually informs the focus for each episode are the conversations we are having that week with our coaching clients.
What is IFS?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach that has transformed countless lives. Rooted in the belief that our psyche is composed of multiple subpersonalities, IFS offers a unique lens to view and understand our inner world.
