IFS, Inner Critics, and Attachment with Chris Burris
This episode is sponsored by Pisgah Coaching Institute founded by IFS-trained Master Coach, Brian Jaudon. Enrollment is now open for 2025 season! To learn more go to: Landing Page | Pisgah Coaching
This episode is a re-release from Season 2
------
On today's episode I chat with Chris Burris, a lead trainer with the IFS Institute.
Grab your notebook and pen and plan to hit the pause button because this epi is jammed packed.
Here is a little taste of what is inside:
therapist burn out
working with inner critics
the critic, shame, and firefighter cycle
attachment wounds, object constancy, and attempts to complete unfinished business from our past
befriending our parts helps them feel seen, heard and valued
parts are fluid, not static
It is so good. Enjoy!
