492: Karyssa A. revisits

This podcast features a therapy session utilizing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. The client, guided by the therapist, explores different "parts" within herself, such as a "tired blob," a "sad" part, and an "optimistic" part. The session delves into the roots of her feelings of fatigue, depression, and body pain, linking them to past traumas, including childhood abuse and a lack of emotional support. The client revisits traumatic memories with the therapist's guidance, offering compassion and validation to her younger self. The session culminates in the client creating a safe space for her "sad" part and finding new ways to cope with her emotions, integrating previously isolated parts of herself.
