IFS and The Power of Healing Our Own Racism with Dorothea Hrossowyc and Ingrid Helander

12/11/20 • 75 min

The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcast

On today's episode, I chat with Dorothea Hrossowyc and Ingrid Helander. Ingrid and Dorothea along with Tyler Haaren, Joya Lonsdale, Julia Sullivan, and Paula Shulman led a workshop on "Healing Racism From the Inside Out, Unburdening our Parts around Race and Racism", at the 2016 IFS Annual Conference, and were a part of the plenary session, along with Tyler, Joya and Donna Dellal-Ferme at the 2017 IFS Annual Conference titled Self-Led Activism. Releasing Your Inner Change Agent.

I encourage you to listen and observe your own parts' reactions. Use these as trailheads to do your own work and meet the younger parts of you who hold pain.

We talk about this book a lot-- check out this article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-author-speaks/201709/my-grandmother-s-hands

They share their own personal stories and their experiences working with their racist parts.

What is said over and over is the power of the model to heal, and the importance of following the trailheads of our own racism to get to our exiles and our own ancestors and legacy burdens.

We talk about so much- indigenous peoples, polyvagal theory, classism, capitalism, grief and shame. And, we laugh... I promise.

Ingrid has an ebook/workbook that uses IFS and Polyvagel theory to help people with chronic worry. It is found at www.calmyourworries.com

She also will be offering a mastermind membership in 2021 to help people move from worry and self-doubt to calm self-confidence. For more information, sign up for her newsletter at Ingrid's website

Dorothea is available to work with you around Unburdening our Racists Parts or Parts Affected by Racism.

She also offers workshops on Working with Anxiety to Release Unconscious Limiting Thoughts, Working with Anger or Angry Parts as a Powerful Tool, Setting your Internal GPS... Your I-GPS, and Healing Parts around Boundaries. Find out more about Dorothea and her offerings at her website here

And, as always, come say Hi to me @ifstammy on Instagram and Twitter or at The One Inside Facebook page. I love hearing from you.

Enjoy.

On today's episode, I chat with Joan Ryan, an internationally recognized Enneagram expert and Leadership coach. Fortunately for our community, Joan is also Level One Trained in IFS.

I have been looking for someone to talk to me about IFS and the Enneagram and was beyond thrilled when I found Joan.

Joan is a type 9 and I am a type 3 so we talk about these types a lot. We also talk a bit about type 8s.

Whether you are new to the enneagram or not, I think you will find our conversation interesting and informative. Like me, you may walk away with a desire to know more!

Find out more about Joan and get her amazing "Help me find my enneagram type' card set on her website here

IFS and Personal Growth with Jay Earley

On today's episode I chat with Jay Earley, a popular IFS teacher who authored the book, "Self Therapy" and who leads ongoing IFS courses and groups.

Our chat can be broken up into 3 sections-

1. His story, and similarities and differences between what he teaches and what Dick teaches. He shares his take on unblending and inner critics. He shares his 'GPS of the mind' program.

He states, "I am not competing with IFS."

2. Capacity Development- What are the 'capacities of Self' to be developed and discovered?

3. "The Great Turning"--- "Inner work for the world"

Here is the website to ALL the things Jay offers:

This is the online tool we discussed:

https://selftherapyjourney.com/

I would love to hear what you think the 'Capacity' is for the word I am trying to find in the middle of the episode. The word was 'Scarcity,' and I MEANT to ask Jay what he thought the capacity was but got lost in trying to find the word! Let me know if you can help me out on this one @ifs.tammy on Instagram and Twitter and The One Inside Facebook Page.

I will see you there.

Enjoy!
