Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today I welcome back my dear friend Gabby Bernstein.

Gabby is a best-selling author, motivational speaker, spiritual teacher, and podcast host, known for her

profound impact in the fields of self-help and personal growth. She has gained worldwide prominence

for her ability to combine principles of spirituality with practical tools for overcoming challenges

such as anxiety, trauma, and addiction.

In this episode, Gabby joined me to discuss the inner workings of healing and self-discovery

through IFS, Internal Family Systems, which is a revolutionary therapeutic modality

pioneered by Dr. Richard Schwartz.

Gabby shares her personal journey with IFS, how it informed her own trauma recovery, and her

mission to make this therapy accessible to everyone.

Together we explore the concepts of self-energy, protector parts, and how unburdening our inner world

can lead to profound clarity and calm. We also take a personal dive into how Gabby integrates

IFS into her work, her daily practices, and creative life. This episode isn't just about techniques, it's about stories,

breakthroughs, and finding the courage to face our inner worlds with benevolence and compassion.

You'll even hear Gabby guide me through a reflective IFS-informed exercise, showcasing the

therapeutic potential of curiosity and self-compassion.

So whether you're new to IFS or seeking practical ways to connect with your inner self,

Gabby's insights offer a pathway to understanding and embracing all parts of yourself.

So without further delay, I present to you the great Gabby Bernstein.

Rolling. We're rolling.

Gabby Bernstein.

Whoa.
