Parts Work (Part 2) w/ Brya Hanan
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Brya Hanan, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to continue their series on parts work. Brya shares her personal story from trauma to healing and how it has influenced her work as a therapist. She introduces her model of parts work, discusses the five A’s of parts work therapy, and shares a practical meditation you can use to begin your healing journey. For more information, check out Brya’s book Befriending Your Inner Child.
Key Points:
Understanding and integrating the different parts of ourselves is essential for healing and wholeness. Embodiment and the awareness of the body's sensations and needs can be the first step in one’s healing process. The relational aspect of parts work, including self-compassion and love, is vital for healing and integration. The five A's of Internal Family Systems therapy are Anchor, Acknowledge, Attune, Ask, and Act. Incorporating Jesus into the therapy process can deepen the healing and anchoring experience.

Parts Work (Part 1) w/ Gerry Crete
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Gerry Crete, a marriage and family counselor to discuss his work on internal family systems, or parts work. Parts work is a therapeutic approach that involves exploring and understanding the different “parts” of our personality and how they can influence the decisions we make in life. Jake, Bob, and Gerry explore the transformative applications of parts work in therapy, distinguish the differences between desires and wounds, and discuss the role of love and compassion in the healing journey. For more information check out Gerry’s book Litanies of the Heart.
Key Points:
Parts work, or internal family systems, can lead to remarkable breakthroughs in therapy by helping individuals connect with and understand their different parts.
Harmony and unity within oneself can be achieved through the integration of different parts, allowing for a more balanced and authentic experience of self.
Understanding the distinction between desires and parts can help individuals navigate conflicting motivations and make choices that align with their true selves.
Practical applications of parts work include using analogies and visualization techniques to help individuals relate to and understand their parts.
It is important to recognize and distinguish parts from the true self, which is characterized by compassion and love.

Divorce (Part 1) w/ Joey Pontarelli
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Joey Pontarelli, the founder and president of the ministry “Restored”. After finding a lack of help after his parents’ divorce, Joey decided to begin ministry with “Restored” to offer practical guidance and support for teens and young adults from broken families. Jake, Bob, and Joey discuss the wounds that come from divorce, their personal experiences, and practical advice on how to respond to this woundedness.
Key Points If there isn’t any transformation in the wounds, then the sins we fall into, as a remedy, make sense. They don’t work, but they make sense.
We often don’t want to face these wounds, so we try to outrun them. But we can’t outrun our wounds. We’re made for more than that.
The Lord understands why you struggle with each particular sin. It doesn’t surprise or scandalize Him. And He loves you where you are.
Divorce is a wound of broken love. So the medicine can only work when you reach the wound. Love is what heals.
Relationship with God is the primary healing element and agent. Give God your attention, quality time, and trust Him.
Consume great content that involves trauma and healing. Seek out coaching - a therapist, spiritual director, or mentor. Have a good community and deep relationships.
For a healthy marriage - spend time with a couple who has a healthy marriage.
The temptation in marriage is to harden your heart and to close yourself off. But instead, we are called to tenderness and vulnerability.
