Summary

Nobody’s life is perfect. Sometimes it can be hard to love our lives, and our coping mechanisms, when things get hard. The problem is, the only way to make it better is to make peace with it.

We all struggle with negative feelings and behavioral patterns, but do you know where these thoughts and patterns are coming from? Probably not. Gabby explains her 4-step “check-in” tool to help you practice IFS in real time to identify and work through your feelings, put an end to negative patterns, identify your needs, and find peace with all of your parts–especially the ones you dislike. 2:18 The Basics Of IFS 14:25 Understanding Our Protection Mechanisms 29:15 Does Healing Have a Cost? 37:42 Overcoming Anger & Powerlessness 45:20 Using Your Body As A Tool 59:30 Struggling with Spirituality For more from Gabby, you can find her on Instagram at @gabbybernstein or online at www.gabbybernstein.com.

0:00.0	Gabby, welcome to the podcast. It's good to be with you. I love you already. We have grown to rely heavily
0:05.0	on our protection mechanisms because since we were very young, that's how we survived. We have these
0:10.0	parts of us that can feel so overwhelming, can feel like we get taken over by them, offer these
0:16.0	feelings, patterns, behaviors, or beliefs, connection, compassion, curiosity. When you do so,
0:22.5	this new energy starts to emerge. How can we use this process if we feel like we're not
0:27.6	where we should be in terms of our lives? The self-energy that emerges replaces that belief

1:18.1	podcast. I can link that episode in the show notes, but she distills his teachings into a workable
1:23.5	guide for anybody, regardless of the kind of access that they have to a practitioner.
1:29.3	Dick Schwartz actually wrote the intro to the book. It's a wonderful book, and Gabby will share
