The Living Truth Podcast - Freedom From Unwanted Sexual Behavior, Hope & Healing For the Betrayed

We are born with innate qualities that reflect the image of God. As an adaptive response to adversity, we develop protective parts that block true connection with God, ourselves, and others. These protective parts can show up through perfectionism, blame, judgment, and other constrained attitudes and actions. Though we may not like them, these parts of us need our loving awareness and attunement.

 

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Molly LaCroix, LMFT, to explore how to recognize and gently befriend your internal family through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This is a grace-filled invitation to begin healing the inner chaos with compassion and curiosity. This conversation continues in the next episode: The Chaos Inside – How Betrayal and Unwanted Sexual Behavior Impact Your Internal Family System with Molly LaCroix.
