Healing Through Internal Family Systems with Stacey Uhrig: Unpacking Childhood Patterns to Reclaim Your True Self

Hi friends, welcome back to the podcast! I’m thrilled to share this deeply insightful conversation I had with Stacey Uhrig, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach who has a gift for breaking down the complexities of developmental trauma into something we can all understand and work with.

In this episode, Stacey and I explore how our childhood patterns and core beliefs influence our lives—and how we can heal and transform them to find greater peace, joy, and connection. Stacey’s approach draws heavily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz that looks at the different “parts” within us and how they work together—or sometimes in conflict—to shape our inner world.

Here’s what we cover:

• ​What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)? Stacey explains how our inner parts develop as a response to survival needs, creating a fascinating internal system that’s here to protect us, even if it sometimes causes us stress or pain.
• ​Understanding Our Inner Parts: Stacey describes how these internal “managers,” “firefighters,” and “exiles” influence our behaviors, relationships, and decision-making.
• ​From Trauma to Wholeness: We dive into how IFS helps us connect with our authentic self, clearing emotional layers and finding self-leadership.
• ​Tools and Resources: Stacey shares her favorite books like No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz and encourages exploring IFS-trained therapists or coaches for deeper work.

This conversation was so healing and enlightening for me, and I hope it resonates deeply with you too. I left feeling empowered to approach my inner world with more compassion and curiosity—and I can’t wait for Stacey to come back for another episode!
