In this solo episode of "Going Inside," I dive deep into the concept of Self and Self-energy in the context of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. While IFS often begins with discussions about our inner parts—like the perfectionist, the inner critic, or the inner child—I believe that the true heart of the model lies in understanding and accessing Self-energy. Whether you're familiar with IFS or new to the concept, this episode will help you connect with the innate wisdom and healing energy that exists within you.

Key Takeaways:
1. What is Self and Self-Energy?
2. The 8 C’s—curiosity, compassion, clarity, connectedness, creativity, courage, confidence, and calm—are essential qualities of Self-energy in IFS.
3. The 5 P’s—patience, perspective, presence, playfulness, and persistence—enhance our ability to connect with and heal our inner parts.
4. At its core, IFS is about cultivating love for ourselves and others, enabling deep healing and transformation.
