Spiritual Formation and Internal Family Systems with Jenna Riemersma, LPC

In this episode, Jenna Riemersma talks about her book, Altogether You, and her experience as an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. Jenna talks about the IFS model and elaborates on the different ‘parts of us.’ She tells us that even the negative parts of us are, in fact, good for us. We hear about faith-based trauma, how IFS aims to change the perceptions of those who have been victims of various traumatic experiences, and we learn the difference between ‘moving against’ and ‘moving forward’.

Highlights “None of these parts are bad; all of these parts are, in fact, good.” “Think for a moment about the thing that you feel or the behaviour that you do about which you are the most ashamed. The first important thing to notice about it is it’s not all of who you are; it’s just a part of you. The second thing you want to notice is there’s another part of you that doesn’t like it; that is also just a part of you.” “10 times out of 10, these parts don’t want to be doing what they’re doing.”
