S4E5: No Bad Parts (IFS therapy), Pt. 1

Internal Family Systems is the modality of therapy that Lexi and their therapist use, and it's mantra is that all parts are welcome and there are no bad parts. In this episode, Lexi explores bringing attention to the different parts of their whole self and the feelings and emotions they bring with them. Lexi shares a poem that was impactful in their own healing, and shares a post-therapy session reflection after doing "parts work."
