Episode 2: Self and Parts

In the second episode of the True You Podcast, Bill and Marty address the distinctions between the 'true self' and the 'parts' within us as outlined in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. They uncover how self-energy can guide us through various life challenges and discuss the importance of recognizing and tending to our parts for better self-led lives. The conversation flows through practical applications, the role of consciousness, and how parts work together under self-leadership.
