Being Human with Steve Cuss

Inside Out 2 and Internal Family Systems


Listen Later

“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.”

So says Paul in Romans 7, and so, it seems, says the character of Riley in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2. On a special episode of Being Human, host Steve Cuss and his wife, therapist Lisa Cuss, explore what the film has to say about being human.

They talk about the film in terms of the internal family systems model and family systems theory. Ultimately, they consider what it looks like to notice parts of ourselves while remembering our core identity in Christ.
