IFS and Addiction with Cece Sykes and Mary Kruger

Episode: 141

My book, The One Inside: 30 Days to Your Authentic Self, is available wherever you get books. Or on amazon here:

We like to talk about Addiction on the podcast! 

I’m excited to talk to Mary Kruger (again!) and Cece Skyes who wrote a Chapter in the Altogether Us book entitled, “IFS and Addiction: Compassion for the Addictive Process.”

We talk about:

  • Alternatives to a manager led (client’s or family or therapist’s) “Plan”
  • Working with your own parts (helper, rescue, fixer, advice giving) when working (or living) with others who have ‘Extreme Firefighters’
  • “Exiling firefighters is not working”- What if we welcomed their advice and wisdom?
  • Bridges 
    • how IFS can Bridge the polarization between the addiction world and the psychological world
    • creating them between ALL parts involved in the addictive process
    • bringing curiosity to the systematic interactions of the parts

Enjoy!
