Episode 55: Becoming the Confident Leader of Your Internal Family with Gabriela Blanco (Inner Work Series No. 3)

/

How are you? I hope everything is going well with you. I know, as we do this Inner Work, we will be uncovering unpleasant feelings and memories from the past. But I do hope that YOU will not give up. I am here for you and we are all in this together. You don't have to go this alone, even within your own heart. You see, we all have multiple sides to ourselves, little sub-personalities that are all vying for attention and for the chance to "run the show". And they are all waiting for YOU, the real you, to step up and lead them with confidence. So, for this week, we will be meeting the different parts of ourselves so that we can become the confident leader of our internal family.
​
I'm so excited to bring in a guest expert on this topic. She's Gabriela Blanco who is a conscious parenting coach who works with parents who are intentionally healing as they parent. She provides tools and strategies to support them in leading their internal families so that they can show up better for themselves and their external families. Now, in this episode, we are going to talk about a mode of therapy that will help us understand what is going on inside ourselves, how we can do internal healing work that we need to show up as conscious, and whole parents for our kids.
​
Here's an overview of our discussion:

  • Internal Family System (IFS - What it is and how it is applied in our healing process.)

  • Different parts of IFS

  • How IFS can complement Respectful Parenting
