Internal Family Systems with Jacqi Trombley

What if your reaction to your child’s behavior is trying to tell you something too? Managers, Firefighters and Exiles, oh my! In this episode, I talk with Jacqi Trombley about Internal Family Systems, or IFS, a therapy model that helps us understand ourselves as being made up of different “parts.” We talk about managers, firefighters, exiles, inner child work, trauma, neurodivergence, and why parents can understand their child completely and still be totally activated by what is happening. This conversation is about the parts of us that get anxious, angry, critical, controlling, overwhelmed, or desperate to make everything okay. Not so we can get rid of them. So we can understand what they are trying to protect. To learn more about Jacqi, visit https://starobincounseling.com/jacqi.
