#IFS #SelfCompassion #Healing

In this gentle IFS (Internal Family Systems) meditation, you’re invited to connect with a part of you that may still be holding on to a memory from the past. Whether it’s a part that pushes you to stay busy or one that panics when you try to rest, this practice helps you approach it with curiosity—not judgment.

You’ll be guided to:

• Ground into your Self-energy

• Notice what part may be carrying a past experience

• Listen with compassion and offer gentle presence

No need to fix anything—just be with what’s here.

This meditation is ideal for anyone exploring parts work, emotional healing, or spiritual growth through the IFS model.

You’re Not Broken — You Just Have Parts

Ever feel like you have to keep hustling just to stay visible? In this episode, I share the story of my own “hustle part” — the part that believed, “If I stop being useful, I’ll disappear.”

We’ll explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand our reactive parts, uncover the past experiences that shaped them, and begin the healing journey with self-compassion.

✨ Key themes:

• Why your parts formed in the first place

• How past experiences shape present behavior

• A gentle practice for meeting reactive parts with curiosity

💬 “Every part formed for a reason. They’re trying to keep you safe.”

Summary:

In this session we explore the gentle art of setting and honoring boundaries through an Internal Family Systems lens. You’ll be guided to notice which parts of you may struggle with boundaries — perhaps a people-pleasing part, an overcommitter, or one that tends to shut down — and to meet them with curiosity and compassion.

Together, we’ll invite Self-energy to witness these parts, explore their fears around firmer boundaries, and reflect on what they might need to feel more supported. You’ll be encouraged to consider one small step you could take this week to honor a boundary with greater clarity and kindness, all while respecting the needs of your entire system.
