Full Episode
The journey of healing is a journey of undoing the false pretenses that we've placed upon ourselves and returning to who we really are. All of us, no matter how great our upbringing might have been, we all experienced some form of trauma.
Those moments can be so extreme for us as young children that we don't actually have the inner capacity to process those deep experiences of shame or inadequacy or even terror. And so as little, little people, we start building protectors. And those protectors could be people-pleasing or trying to be seen.
And so through the practice of IFS, we dismantle, calm, and settle the protectors so that self can emerge. You're recognizing that it's not who you are, it's just a part of who you are. And now here's a four-step practice to do it. The beauty is that now you have a tool that whenever you think you're going to check out, you can check in.
And every time you check in, you expand your connection to self. And the more you trust in self, the more empowered you feel because you're not trying so hard to stay alive. You actually know there's safety inside and self can help.
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Know Thyself podcast. Our guest today is a multiple times over New York Times bestselling author. She explores many themes around psychological healing and spiritual awakening. And I just love her raw honesty and personality as it comes through and sharing her insights along her own personal path. Gabby Bernstein, thanks for being here.
It's so good to be here. I think I have died and gone to podcast heaven with my rose tea. If anyone could just like catapult themselves into this room, it's fun.
Yeah, come join us. Grab a cup of tea. We're going to talk healing and all the things.
Best tea I've ever had in my life. Thank you.
Well, where I want to start today is hearing your thoughts on something that I've been contemplating and thinking about for a while, which is we have subconscious resistance in us to receiving and allowing life to give us love, abundance, well-being, because we have somatic familiarity with scarcity and fear and not enoughness.
