Summary:
In this session we explore the gentle art of setting and honoring boundaries through an Internal Family Systems lens. You’ll be guided to notice which parts of you may struggle with boundaries — perhaps a people-pleasing part, an overcommitter, or one that tends to shut down — and to meet them with curiosity and compassion.
Together, we’ll invite Self-energy to witness these parts, explore their fears around firmer boundaries, and reflect on what they might need to feel more supported. You’ll be encouraged to consider one small step you could take this week to honor a boundary with greater clarity and kindness, all while respecting the needs of your entire system.
What happens when we say yes too often—and at the expense of ourselves? In this episode, I explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help us reassess our boundaries, reconnect with our inner wisdom, and make more self-led choices. Together, we’ll reflect on the parts of us that feel stretched thin, people-pleasing, or creatively blocked—and how gentle boundary work can bring relief, clarity, and renewal.
I’ll also guide you through practical tools to support your self-care and creative rhythms, inviting you to tend to your parts with compassion and curiosity.
