In this episode, we look at the different parts of you, using the model from internal family systems, otherwise known as IFS. We often look at different personality parts through the lens of dissociative identity disorder, formally known as multiple personality disorder, but interestingly, we all have different parts of us that are integrating with the true self, our personality can almost be viewed as a garlic with different cloves and each clove containing different parts that integrate with each other. In this episode, we are going to dive a bit deeper into this and talk about which parts might be driving. Anxiety burnout in relationship issues. Spoiler alert. There’s a protective part that’s coming through, And if you want to find out how it manifests, you can take our quiz at Savasanacollective.com/anxiety-quiz

Did you know that there’s actually two types of motivation? A lot of people don’t realise this but there are two types of motivation. Two internal drivers that drive your actions on an unconscious level but once you’re aware of them, you can understand when they’re supporting you or hindering you. In this episode we are going to break this down, and once you’re aware of it, you can see how it’s affecting your life, both for positive ways, and maybe not so positive ways.

The benefits of high functioning, anxiety and perfectionism are so often rewarded in our society, a society that’s focused on status and goals and achievement. Unfortunately that society often plays into our wounds, wounds around self-worth, around feeling good enough, around achieving love and around being seen. In today’s episode, we’re going to look at the the double edge sword that is anxiety in perfectionism, particularly how this plays out for female leaders and entrepreneurs. And don’t forget our quiz on your anxiety personality type savasanacollective.com/anxiety-quiz

A double consciousness. Have you heard of it? It’s something that W.E.BDubois spoke about, the man who was the first African-American person to graduate with a PhD from Harvard. He spoke about that people from minorities, or people who aren’t in a position of power or privilege, are able to see both sides of the equation. They can see both the other person side and their own point of view. So as women in a patriarchal society, we have this double consciousness to but a lot of the time we just don’t realise it because we don’t actually realise how patriarchy plays out in society and so we’re gonna talk about that today.

So let’s get into today’s episode. And of course if you want more check out our free resource library or anxiety quiz at savasanacollective.com

One year of episodes, can you believe it! This is our last episode for a little while as we take a break and return in 2022. So before we go, on the eve of a full moon which in many cultures is all about letting go and setting new intentions, I reflect on What I have learnt from this Four Q podcast. I really encourage you to think about what’s working and what’s not in your own life what can you break free of, what are the hard times, the anxiety, the stress, the depression trying to teach you, trying to tell you? How can you break free from a life that doesn’t serve you, from the life that you were supposed to live, to a life that is aligned and clear and content? I’m so excited to jump into this with you, and thank you so much for being here. My heart is full, here are the links that I spoke about and I will see you next year for the Four Q podcast.
