In this episode of re[connect], Deedra and Megan explore the journey from fragmentation to wholeness through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). They discuss how our protective parts develop in response to early wounds and how healing requires reconnecting with the exiled parts of ourselves. Drawing from the work of Dr. Dan Siegel and IFS founder Dr. Richard Schwartz, they highlight how this powerful framework can lead to deep transformation.
They explore:
- Why our lifelong search for wholeness is rooted in our earliest experiences
- How IFS helps us understand the protective roles our inner parts play
- The difference between managing behaviors and true healing
- Why self-compassion is essential when working with wounded parts
- How integration brings us closer to our authentic selves and deeper connection with others
With personal reflections, Pixar references, and insights from neuroscience, this episode offers a practical and compassionate approach to self-reconnection.
