Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

Grief is the connection that never dies.
Don't get over the losses of your loved ones. Grief keeps you connected. You're not supposed to get over it, but be in relation to it and let it transform with you.

You don't want to be less sensitive, you want to be more regulated.
There's quite a difference.

In general you can see fear as telling you that something needs attention on the outside (often in the here and now), whereas anxiety shows you what needs attention on the inside, but most often in relation to the outside (past, present or to some degree future).

Dick Schwartz Explains 'No Bad Parts' in IFS (Internal Family Systems)

#GGRClips #GreaterGoodRadio #ConnectLearnHealGrow #InspirationalInterviews #PositiveImpact #DickSchwartz #InternalFamilySystems #NoBadParts #IFS #HealingJourney #TraumaRecovery

Parts of me feel driven to..
Ruminate; overthink; feel responsible for others' emotions..

I can now recognise, regulate, and choose a different way.

Can you relate?

These parts were our toolkits for survival in the past. Their aim is to protect.

Core Concepts
of Shadow Work 👤

Integration:

The goal is not to eliminate the shadow but to integrate it, acknowledging these hidden parts of ourselves and understanding their influence on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

This is so important. It’s something I usually discuss with clients who think they need to “get rid of” the parts of themselves they find unacceptable. #NoBadParts
