I'm super excited to welcome back to the podcast my friend, Jenna Riemersma. Jenna and I were chatting about her concept of 'Moving Towards' and decided to do another episode together. Jenna is such an amazing teacher, and I am thrilled that she shares her wisdom with us.  I felt so much Self energy and calmness in the middle of the podcast I forgot to ask about her 'Three Steps!'. Thankfully, she reminded my parts who got back online quickly. Here is an outline: - Burdened parts move against - Move against in our culture (politics, covid) - The Power of the Self and the IFS model - The 8 C qualities of Self= What Love does and What Love looks like - Move towards starts with me then moves to we - Living a Move Toward kind of life - especially in our advocacy - Betrayal Trauma (Jenna explains the role of parts for both parties) - Psychological theories and Trauma - Attachment (External and Internal) ---This is SO GOOD! - Three Steps of Moving Towards - All Together You - her book about Moving towards in Faith Communities ...... I took so many notes. Check out her website for SO MANY free resources: Jenna Riemersma - Jenna Riemersma Sign up for my email list to see my book cover REVEAL in November and get a free 'get to know a should part of you': Home - The One Inside-by Tammy Sollenberger ----- Jenna says, "We are way more than the Burden of One (or some) of our parts. We are the Self behind that." Enjoy!
