If you’ve ever felt conflicted and confused about the varying ways you show up in life, welcome to the club! Join John Lin, Laura Harrison, and Paul McMullen as they discuss a therapy model called Internal Family Systems, which helps explain why all of us have different parts of ourselves that show up in our lives.
