In this episode of the Healing Trauma Podcast, Monique and her guest Dr. Laryssa Creswell discuss the impact of trauma and the importance of understanding our internal family systems (IFS) in healing. Laryssa emphasizes the role of shame, self-energy, and the need for self-compassion in navigating our emotional landscape. The conversation explores the significance of reparenting our younger parts and the journey of self-discovery in therapy. Dr. Creswell encourages listeners to trust themselves and recognize their own expertise in their healing journey.
