This week we dive into the concept of Self-like parts - those parts of us that SEEM like well-intentioned, wise, compassionate parts of us, but that ultimately still feed the immature ego and false sense of self. We also explore the concept of Self in Internal Family Systems and how Buddhist philosophy can help us know when we’re driven by our True Self vs our Self-like parts.You will learn:// What the Self is and how it relates to the theory of Internal Family Systems… and our core essence// How self-like parts affect our Manager and Firefighter parts, and why they never actually help us as a result// The difference between self-like parts and our true Self and how to identify our self-like parts// Why true healing and development can only come from our true Self// How to build a mindful, compassionate relationship with our true Self AND our self-like parts.Resources:// Episode 166: No Bad Parts// Episode 167: Near Enemies of Good Qualities// I’d love to hear from you!
