In this episode of Going Inside: Healing Trauma From the Inside Out, I’m joined by Dr. Laura Patryas, an expert in the intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and non-duality. Together, we explore how these two approaches can deepen our understanding of healing from the inside out.

Key Takeaways:

1. Healing Isn’t a Destination
Dr. Laura discusses how many people become caught up in the endless pursuit of healing, but true growth comes from learning to live in the present moment and connecting with self.

2. The Power of Self-Energy in IFS
We reflect on how the core of IFS therapy is about recognizing that healing comes from within. There’s no external "healer" who can fix us—true transformation happens when we access our self-energy.

3. Balancing Inner and Outer Worlds
While healing and self-discovery are essential, Dr. Laura reminds us that the work doesn’t stop there. Eventually, we must take what we’ve learned and return to the world, leading from our true self with compassion and love.
