Welcome to the first episode of the podcast companion to the 30 day reading challenge!

This first week we read the Introduction & Chapter 1 of You are the One You've been Waiting For by Dr. Richard Schwartz. 


In this episode I cover:

Brief overview of the concepts in Internal Family Systems (IFS)

-protectors, exiles & Self

The 3 projects we take in on in intimate relatioships

The importance of the Self

Cultural & Gender implications that impact parts and expectations of intimate relationships

Reflection Questions:

1- What parts of me show up most in my intimate relationship?- do protectors like criticism, withdrawal, caretaking, people pleasing or control show up?

2-When do I feel most connected to my Self:

(calm, curious, connected, compassion, clarity, courage, confidence, creativity)

3- Do I carry the expectation that my parter or future partner will "fix, compete or rescue me."

4-What does it feel like to imagine that my core Self is always present even if hidden?
