Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Honoring and welcoming Self-Like Parts, with Paul Neustadt
Q: How can we suggest something in a way that's helpful when we notice a self-like part interacting with a target part?
It's essential to validate the self-like part's role and encourage clients to trust their intuition, creating a safe space for exploration.
Honoring and welcoming Self-Like Parts, with Paul Neustadt
Q: How would you define or describe self-like parts, and what made you want to focus today on this topic?
Self-like parts are often blended with the self and manage situations but can obscure true self-energy. Paul aims to highlight their importance and ways to work with them.
Brain, Mind, and Parts through a Neuroscience Lens
Q: Do you think parts are a metaphor or some kind of reality?
I think of parts as real things that exist within our mind and that can influence each other and be influenced by external factors.
Brain, Mind, and Parts through a Neuroscience Lens
Q: What modern theories and models of brain function support or align with the idea of the multiplicity of psyche?
The IFS idea aligns with the notion that our psyche consists of multiple parts, reflecting the modular nature of intelligent systems and how the brain operates with parallel decision-making processes.
The Q&A Session with Martha Sweezy
Q: How can exiles carrying shame minimize backlash from protectors?
Martha suggests that the first phase in IFS therapy is to befriend protective parts and get their permission to access the exiles carrying shame.
