In Sanity: A piece of mind

Episode 214 - An Introduction to Internal Family Systems


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like one part of you wants to do something… but another part completely disagrees?

Maybe you’re trying to eat healthier, but another part of you wants to eat a piece of cake. Perhaps a part of you is excited about a new opportunity, but another part is filled with doubt and fear.

These inner conflicts actually make perfect sense—and they’re not a sign that something is wrong with you, but rather a natural part of how your mind works.

In today's episode, we will discuss a new way to interact with ourselves and others. It's called Internal Family Systems or IFS.

IFS was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, and it’s transformed how we think about the mind. Instead of seeing ourselves as having just one personality, IFS teaches that we all have different parts inside us—almost like an internal family. And just like in any family, these parts sometimes work together… and sometimes, they’re in conflict.

At the core of all of us, beneath the self-doubt, is the Self—a calm, compassionate, wise presence that can heal all our parts.

Today, we will break it all down in a simple, relatable way. In this episode, we will talk about:
✔ What IFS is and how it works,
✔ Why we all have different ‘parts’ inside us,
✔ How to recognize these parts in your daily life,
✔ And how this approach can help you understand yourself in a whole new way.

We’ll also be weaving in real-world examples, insights from Dr. Richard Schwartz and Jenna Riemersma, and practical ways to use this framework in your own life.
