234 Why You Feel Conflicted and How to Heal with IFS: Interview with Ty Cutner

Have you ever felt that you had different “parts” within yourself – often with their own competing needs and goals? For instance, one part of you may feel driven to work hard every day, while another prioritizes relaxation; some parts may carry heavy emotions such as shame or fear, while others attempt to bury them with behaviors that are often maladaptive. While the interactions between these parts can sometimes create a sense of inner turmoil, getting to know each of them and striving to foster healing and harmony among them can help you access greater joy and balance in your life.  Ty Cutner is a level-two-trained personal development coach in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-known therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Ty is a contributing author to the best-selling book, “Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room,” as well as one of the leading coaches in the IFS community. He applies the IFS model to his workshops and his practice, which focuses on image coaching and relationship coaching. As our guest in Episode 234 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ty shares the following:  An overview of our different parts as described by IFS, including managers, firefighters, and exiles, and how they work together in various contexts, with each having a positive intention for you — even if it doesn’t always seem that way Why it’s important to become aware of your parts, as well as the Self — an ever-present, loving energy within each of us that can heal conflicts between the parts Exercises, techniques, and a guided meditation designed to help you get in touch with your parts, soothe any discord between them, and begin interacting with them in a more harmonious, compassionate manner  To learn more about Ty and his programs or to get in touch with him, visit www.tycutner.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, please visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.
