The Parts Party
Do you resonate with the idea of being a system of many different parts or subpersonalities that have different hopes and agendas for you, rather than feeling like one fixed personality? And perhaps you know deep down that your deepest authentic Self is already healed and whole, even if it most days it doesn’t really feel like that? Same! This is the understanding of the Internal Family Systems model — created by Richard Schwartz. This podcast is a celebration of what it is like to live as a system of parts, learning to be more Self Led. We welcome all your parts to this ’Parts Party’ with Adriana and Ella, therapists and IFS enthusiasts, as they discuss the lived experience of the Internal Family Systems. This podcast is not affiliated with IFS Institute.

Life will always have moments that are upsetting and distressing. In these moments, parts of us get activated, and try to do their best to help us cope. They buzz with anxiety, they try to fix, they focus on others or they find ways to numb us out. This meditation might be helpful in moments where you feel blended or taken over by a part. We hope you find it supportive.

This is an IFS meditation to get to know bodily pain or symptoms that have no structural cause. It is based on somatic tracking, a tool in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) that helps us observe pain and symptoms from a place of safety. IFS helps us get to this calm, compassionate place by taking care of the parts that are naturally worried about the pain. We then listen to the sensation and see what it is trying to teach us.
