Ever wonder why you feel resistant to doing something that you actually want to do? 

This month we're unpacking the complexities of resistance through Buddhist teachings and IFS Parts Work. We're going to scrap the self-sabotaging label and get to the roots of why most people struggle to make progress on their goals. 

  • The difference types of resistance according to Buddhism's Five Hindrances
  • The IFS Perspective on the intentions of parts and why they put up road blocks

Jennifer also shares a few personal anecdotes that highlight a compassionate approach to getting things done. 

Resources Mentioned in the Show

  • Satipatthana Meditation by Bhikkhu Analayo
  • Toward a Psychology of Awakening by John Elwood
