Wellness Force Radio | Discovering Physical & Emotional Intelligence To Live Life Well

Is your drive to achieve, please, or protect coming from a wounded part of you, rather than your true Self? Josh Trent welcomes Richard Schwartz, Creator of Internal Family Systems, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 767, to reveal why there are no “bad parts” within us, how trauma freezes pieces of our psyche in the past, and how to free yourself from legacy burdens passed down through generations. In This Episode, Richard C. Schwartz Uncovers: [01:10] What Is Parts Work? The definition of parts work. Why all parts of ourselves are valuable. How trauma freezes us in the past. Why we try to escape our parts to avoid feeling their pain. The role of exile and protector parts. How the firefighter parts try to get us away from our feelings to protect us. Resources: Richard C. Schwartz [07:45] The Difference Between Your Part and Your Self How each of us has an essence that is the Self. Why children take on different roles within their families to protect themselves.
