Michelle Obama's quote about "becoming" aligns beautifully with the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

In IFS, the journey toward a "better Self" really means a journey toward a deeper truer awareness of one's true Self and a better ability to live out from that Self. Michell lives out from herself whether she uses IFS language or not. And even when a part of her who needs to point something out takes the lead, the part is self lead.

Who's going to tell Donald Trump that he might be applying for a job. You don't feel an animosity or cruelty. You feel truth and delight. It's not about reaching a final destination or achieving a specific goal but about evolving and embracing every part of ourselves along the way.

In IFS, this process involves recognizing and healing whichever inner parts of us are too extreme, too agitated, creating a static or havoc in our system as they calm down or blossom into their natural states, we live more fully from our true Self. The journey doesn't end; instead, it deepens our understanding and connection with who we truly are, fostering continuous growth and transformation.

The second course in the three-part series gives you a primer for Exile work. What exactly are exiles? How and why do they show up? The course invites you to move into awareness of your own exiled parts and begin to care for them. Learning to work with exiles is truly magical yet can be fraught with risk. Rest assured we enter this work with care. You will begin to feel some of the magic, understand the risks, and gain both skill and dexterity with the process.

$449 - seven two-hour sessions. Each session includes short lectures, pair practice, and either a demonstration of the model in real-time or a chance to do your own personal work. Together we will create a small, safe, confidential environment in which to deepen your skills and confidence using the IFS model and feel and contribute to the profound Self-Energy that arises in the group.

☀️ Self-leadership begins with understanding the concept of "Self" and "Self-energy" as described in Internal Family Systems (IFS). The "Self" represents our core essence—the calm, compassionate, and confident part of us that remains steady, even in the face of challenges. "Self-energy," on the other hand, is the force that emerges when we are connected to this core Self, allowing us to lead with clarity and purpose.

✨ In IFS, we recognize that our psyche is made up of different parts, each with its own needs, fears, and desires. These parts often vie for control, leading to internal conflict. However, when we access our Self-energy, we can approach these parts with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. This connection allows us to lead from within, making choices aligned with our true values and intentions.

🤩 Self-leadership is about cultivating this Self-energy to guide our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It empowers us to respond rather than react, to lead our inner world with the same care and wisdom we would offer others. By embracing Self + Self-energy, we create a harmonious internal environment, which in turn enables us to navigate life’s complexities with resilience and grace.

A recommendation from Rennie: RAIN is one of Tara Brach's most popular methods for befriending our emotions and awakening to compassionate and joyful presence. Try Tara's approach with one of your parts. Feel your Self-energy arise as what Tara calls "compassionate presence" and we call one of the 8 C's of the Self. Listen to this free meditation series to navigate difficult times, nourish happiness and cultivate more SELF energy.
