Understanding Internal Family Systems: A Deep Dive with Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes

Changes in the internal system, so changes in the way people are thinking and feeling and reacting, will affect changes in the external system and vice versa.
Have you ever felt like different parts of yourself are pulling you in opposite directions? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes takes you on a journey through Internal Family Systems (IFS) Theory in this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast'. Developed in the 1990s, IFS offers a unique way to understand and manage the various 'parts' within us, from the overprotective managers to the impulsive firefighters and the hidden exiles. Dr.
Snipes breaks down how these parts interact and how they can be harnessed to support those grappling with addiction and mental health issues. She also highlights the importance of considering both internal and external factors, addressing cognitive distortions, and preventing stress and overwhelm. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer picture of how achieving balance within your internal family can lead to greater well-being.
Perfect for counselors, coaches, and anyone interested in self-help, this episode is a must-listen for understanding the complexities of our inner worlds.
