A bonus episode, slightly different to my previous ones. This is a story about how dreamers heal dreams, based on Dorothy's adventures in Oz.

This was written to demonstrate all the elements of Internal family systems therapy; the different parts that come together on that yellow brick road + the strange, magical process of IFS therapy.

In this episode I examine the importance of finding a place to go to process our losses and restore our inner landscapes. Alongside IFS therapy there are small changes we can make in our daily lives to support the work and this is touched upon too. I reference Francis Wellers book 'The Wild Edge of Sorrow'.

In this episode I’m going to explore what it might look and feel like when we’re in active addiction, and how we can understand addictions through an IFS lens? From there I’ll discuss some solutions, some ways of transforming these processes, again using the language of IFS.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of doubt—exploring what’s really happening when we experience uncertainty and how we can navigate through those challenging times.

Inspired by ‘The Jungian Life’ episode on doubt, I felt compelled to take a deeper look at the subject. Along the way, I also reflect on insights from Frances Weller’s book, The Wild Edge of Sorrow, and how the subject of grief connects to embracing life’s unknowns.

In this episode, we dive into Dr. Richard Schwartz's transformative book, You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For. 

As the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, Dr. Schwartz offers profound insights into how we can cultivate courageous love in our romantic lives.

Through the lens of IFS, we’ll explore how understanding and embracing our inner selves can lead to deeper, more fulfilling relationships.
