Hello, Anger. Hello, Sadness: The Power of Naming Our Emotions with Thomas Grubba

In today's episode I am joined by my friend and fellow IFS therapist, Thomas Grubba.  Thomas and I discuss how to make the transition from one therapy modality to another, the challenges of turning inside for self awareness, noticing conflicting and simultaneous parts/energies, and the power of naming them; "Hello, anger!". 

 

We also discuss how to use unstructured IFS for self awareness, anxiety and its connection to two parts in polarization, providing a container of Self energy with clients and their extreme parts for safety and healing, and working to turn towards our own parts as a health provider to help create a Self energy space for the client. 

 

Thomas is a licensed marriage and family therapist living in the metro Detroit area.  He works in private practice and is Level 1 trained in IFS.
