Daily Practice for Self-Connection: My Internal Family Systems Check-In
In this blog, I explore the practice of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how I encourage my clients to make it a way of life—checking in with their inner family daily, just like we do with our external relationships. By connecting with the different parts of ourselves, we can cultivate clarity, compassion, and confidence. I take you inside my own inner world, sharing a personal example of how I engage with my overthinking and fearful parts, offering compassion, understanding, and ultimately, a sense of peace. Join me as I reconnect with my internal family and recommit to nurturing these parts to thrive, not just survive and live a truly inspired life.
Healing from Emotionally Difficult or Abusive Relationships: Reconnecting with Your True Self
In the recent blog post, Kelley delves into how healing from emotionally difficult or abusive relationships begins with reconnecting with your true Self. Many individuals who experience emotional abuse feel overwhelmed and disconnected from their core needs and desires. Trauma-informed therapy models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help by guiding individuals to understand the different 'parts' of themselves, created as protective mechanisms. The goal is to heal these parts and bring your Self—your calm, compassionate core—into the forefront. Rebuilding your relationship with yourself is the first step toward reclaiming strength, confidence, and authenticity after emotional pain.
