When grappling with aspects of ourselves that we deem less good, less productive or less loveable, it may be tempting to completely write those parts off, or to hide them away in shame. Today’s guest, Britt Frank, sits down with Dr. Alexandra to make a compelling case for why it is essential to use the power of parts work to embrace these aspects of ourselves so that we can make better sense of the full range of the human experience and show up more fully in our important relationships.

You will come away from this episode with:

Inspiration to embrace all parts of yourself, good and “bad”
Know-how to A.L.I.G.N your mind, using this acronym to work with your parts
Greater “parts literacy” to navigate your relationships with more skill, understanding, and compassion
