Michelle Glass on IFS
If you’ve ever thought, “A part of me wants to…, but another part of me…,” you’ve already had a glimpse of what Internal Family Systems (IFS) is all about. Learn more in this episode of Woman Worriers, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Michelle Glass for an insightful discussion of the IFS model and how it can help you heal.
“Many of our parts are literally stuck in the past in those scenes of trauma or attachment wounding.”
Show Notes:
Do you have an inner critic? A wounded inner child? The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy suggests that we all have multiple parts. Although they all mean well, some may try to protect us in ways that might actually hold us back. Some drive us to do ourselves harm. Others hold old wounds that keep us from moving forward until they’re healed. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Michelle Glass, a certified level 3 IFS practitioner with more than 16 years of experience with the model and author of Daily Parts Meditation Practice: A Journey of Embodied Integration for Clients and Therapists, for an in-depth discussion of IFS and how Parts work works. The two women share their experiences with IFS and how it has helped them heal. This episode also includes a guided 15-minute Daily Parts Meditation Practice for welcoming new parts and parts in process.
