    The Parts of You That Show Up Around Family

    The Parts of You That Show Up Around Family Nov 8, 2026 · @Jessica Show NotesThe Parts of You That Show Up Around Family You can be a confident, capable adult who runs a household, raises kids, and makes big decisions every day. Then you spend one afternoon with family and suddenly you're defending a choice you made six months ago, trying to keep everyone happy, or counting the minutes until you can leave before dessert. In week two of our November series, Jessica introduces Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapy model developed by Richard Schwartz, as a compassionate way to understand why old versions of ourselves resurface around family. Instead of asking "What's wrong with me?", we learn to ask "What is this part of me trying to do for me?" In this episode, you'll learn: What IFS means by "parts" (and why this isn't about multiple personalities)Five parts that often show up around family: the people pleaser, the fixer, the achiever, the defensive part, and the part that wants to escapeWhy your parts don't always agree, and how that internal "committee meeting" makes family decisions feel so complicatedHow family roles from childhood (the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the caretaker) can stay active long after they've stopped serving youThree core IFS concepts in plain language: managers, firefighters, and exilesWhat IFS calls Self, and the simple language shift from "I'm such a people pleaser" to "I'm noticing a part of me that wants everyone to be happy"Why understanding a part doesn't mean following its instructionsHow to respond, not react, when a question at Thanksgiving dinner hits a nerve Guided practice: Jessica leads a short, gentle exercise to help you notice one part of yourself, get curious about what it's protecting, and offer it some acknowledgment. If you're driving or need your attention elsewhere, listen now and come back to it later. Your practice this week: Notice one part of yourself that tends to show up around family. When you notice it, ask: What is this part trying to protect me from?What does this part believe its job is?What would it look like to respond with compassion without automatically following its instructions?

We'll talk about the difference between a request and a boundary, why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable, and why someone else's disappointment doesn't automatically mean you did something wrong, just in time for Thanksgiving.

    Why Do I Feel 15 Again Around My Family?

    Why Do I Feel 15 Again Around My Family? You can manage a team, raise kids, pay a mortgage, and do the work in therapy, and then one comment at Thanksgiving has you thinking, This is why I moved away. In this episode, Jessica Colarco, LCSW, kicks off a new month on family and the holidays by bringing everything we've learned about anxiety, avoidance, and the protective nervous system into the room with the people who know exactly where our buttons are. We look at how childhood experiences shape the roles we take on (the peacekeeper, the fixer, the achiever, the caretaker, the funny one, the one who never needed anything), and why so many of us slip back into those old scripts the moment we walk into a familiar house. Jessica explains why our reactions to family can feel bigger than the moment itself, why getting triggered doesn't mean your healing isn't working, and how to understand family patterns without turning anyone into a villain. In this episode: Why family can trigger us faster than anyone else, and why "they installed the buttons" holds some truthHow family roles form, and why they quietly come back as adultsWhy your nervous system responds to familiar people, tones, and dynamics before you consciously noticeWhat progress actually looks like: noticing sooner, recovering faster, and keeping the boundary even when you feel guiltyWhy we feel younger around family, and how we react to the history behind a comment, not just the commentUnderstanding vs. blame: holding compassion for your family while still acknowledging what hurtAsking "How did this role help me?" instead of "Why am I like this?"What belongs to you and what doesn't: caring about someone's feelings vs. being responsible for managing them Your practice this week: Before the holidays, get curious. Ask yourself: Who do I become around my family?What does that version of me believe their job is?Do I still need that job? You don't have to change anything yet. Awareness comes before choice. Coming up next week: We're talking about parts: the people-pleaser, the fixer, the caretaker, the defensive part, the approval-seeker, and the part that just wants to eat pie in peace. We'll look at them not as problems to get rid of, but as parts of you that learned to protect you.

    You Don't Have to Believe Every Anxious Thought

    You Don't Have to Believe Every Anxious Thought We've spent this whole month on anxiety: problems versus predictions, anxiety as a protective alarm, and the anxiety loop that keeps us checking, avoiding, and seeking reassurance. In this episode, Jessica brings it all together with one important idea: you don't have to believe every thought your anxious brain gives you. This isn't about positive thinking. It's about creating space between "I had a thought" and "this thought must be true." Jessica explains how anxiety turns observations into conclusions, why it fills in missing information with the most dramatic story, and why "possible" doesn't mean "probable." She also takes on the question clients ask all the time: "But what if my anxious thought is right?" The answer is to shift from needing confidence in the outcome to building confidence in yourself. In this episode: How we go from an observation ("my boss wants to talk") to a conclusion ("I'm in trouble") almost instantlyWhy anxiety hates an unfinished story and fills in the blanksPossible vs. probable, and why trying to prove a "what if" impossible is a losing argumentCognitive flexibility: what CBT is really about, and why it's realistic thinking, not positive thinkingConfidence in the outcome vs. confidence in yourselfWhy "I'll deal with it when it happens" can be an act of trustWhat to do when your body still feels anxious after you've used the skills (regulation doesn't mean calm)Why you don't need to win the argument with anxiety Try this week: When you notice yourself getting pulled into an anxious story, ask: What happened? (Just the observable facts.)What am I telling myself about what happened?What do I actually know?What else could be true?What would I do next if I didn't have to be completely certain? You don't have to answer perfectly. You're practicing creating space, and in that space you get some choice back. Coming in November: Family. Why being around family can make you feel 15 again, the roles we fall into (the people pleaser, the fixer, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the approval seeker), boundaries, guilt, family expectations, and what happens when you start responding differently in a family system.

    The Anxiety Loop: Why the Things That Calm You Down Can Keep You Stuck

    The Anxiety Loop: Why the Things That Calm You Down Can Keep You Stuck Why does the anxiety keep coming back, even after you've checked, Googled, asked for reassurance, or prepared for every possible outcome? This week on Healing Is My Hobby, Jessica Colarco, LCSW, continues the October anxiety series by breaking down the anxiety loop: a cycle she sees constantly in her therapy practice. Using everyday examples like an unanswered text, a strange body sensation, and the urge to triple-check an email, Jessica explains how anxiety moves from trigger to prediction to discomfort to relief, and why that relief can quietly teach your brain that you couldn't have handled the uncertainty on your own. You'll learn what CBT calls safety behaviors, including the less obvious ones like overthinking, overpreparing, procrastinating, and seeking reassurance. You'll also learn how high-functioning anxiety can look a lot like competence from the outside. Most importantly, you'll learn a gentle, non-perfectionistic way to start loosening the loop by building tolerance for uncertainty one small choice at a time, without ripping away every coping strategy you have. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The five steps of the anxiety loop and why short-term relief keeps it goingWhat safety behaviors are, from obvious avoidance to sneaky ones like Googling, rehearsing, and reviewing past decisionsHow thinking itself can become a safety behavior, and the difference between problem-solving and searching for certaintyWhy reassurance has a short shelf life when anxiety is driving the conversationHow anxiety can look like productivity, preparedness, and being "the dependable one"How procrastination and avoidance teach your brain that avoidance equals reliefThe key question: "What is this teaching my brain?"Small ways to build uncertainty tolerance, like waiting 10 minutes before checking or rereading an email one fewer timeWhy you don't have to feel safe before you act, and how that differs from forcing yourself This Week's Practice: Catch just one anxiety loop. Write down what happened, what you predicted, what you felt, what you did to get relief, and whether it helped temporarily. Then ask: what did that response teach my brain? No judgment. You're just gathering information. Reflection Question: When I feel the urge to check, ask, Google, avoid, or overthink, what am I hoping it will give me: information, connection, preparation, or certainty? Key Takeaway: Relief and safety aren't always the same thing. Sometimes the thing that gives you immediate relief is also teaching anxiety that you couldn't have handled the discomfort without it, and you can learn something different. Coming Up Next Week: We close out the October anxiety series with thoughts versus facts. Jessica covers predictions versus possibilities, and how to challenge an anxious thought without forcing positive thinking.

    Your Anxiety Is Trying to Protect You

    Your Anxiety Is Trying to Protect You Healing Is My Hobby | October 12, 2026 Last week we asked, is this a problem, or is this a prediction? This week we go deeper into why anxiety shows up the way it does. Underneath the overthinking, checking, avoiding, rehearsing, and 3 a.m. wake-up calls, anxiety usually has one message: something might go wrong, and I want to make sure you're prepared. In this episode, Jessica Colarco, LCSW, explains how your brain's alarm system works, why it can become oversensitive, and why anxiety can be protective without being accurate. You'll learn how avoidance, reassurance-seeking, and overthinking bring short-term relief while teaching your brain that the danger was real, and how to start relating to anxiety differently without fighting it. In this episode: Why your brain is designed to look for danger, and what happens when the smoke detector goes off every time you make toastWhy feeling unsafe and being unsafe aren't always the same thingHow past experiences teach your brain what to watch for, and why it sometimes works from old informationAnxiety can be protective without being accurateHow avoidance, reassurance, and overthinking can keep anxiety goingWhy trying to shut anxiety down often leads to anxiety about anxietyWhy the goal isn't to never feel anxious Your practice this week: When anxiety shows up, ask yourself: What is my anxiety trying to protect me from?Is there an actual threat or problem happening right now?What would I do next if I didn't need absolute certainty first? Coming up next week: The anxiety loop: why the things that make anxiety feel better right now can keep it going.

    When Stress Becomes Anxiety: Is It a Problem or a Prediction?

    When Stress Becomes Anxiety: Is It a Problem or a Prediction? All through September, we talked about your nervous system: stress signals, regulation, and the idea that calm isn't the only healthy state. This month, we're taking that conversation one step further into anxiety. Anxiety doesn't always look like a panic attack. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, irritability, procrastinating, or being incredibly productive. Sometimes it's asking "are you sure you're not mad at me?" for the third time, Googling the same question for the fifth time, or lying awake at 2 a.m. holding a very serious meeting with yourself about a problem that doesn't exist yet. In this episode, Jessica breaks down the difference between stress and anxiety, why anxiety has such a hard time with uncertainty, and one simple question that can help you create a little space between you and the worry. In this episode, we talk about: How stress and anxiety overlap, and how they're differentWhy stress usually responds to what is happening, while anxiety responds to what might happenAnxiety's difficult relationship with uncertainty, and how it tries to create certainty through overthinking, preparing, Googling, and reassurance-seekingWhy planning and worrying are not the same thingThe key question: Am I dealing with a problem, or a prediction?Why your body reacts to an anxious story as if it's happening right nowWhy the goal isn't to stop worrying, but to start recognizing what's happening when anxiety shows up Try this this week: When you notice yourself getting caught in a worry, pause and ask: What is actually happening right now?What am I predicting might happen?Is there an action I need to take, or am I trying to create certainty? You don't have to make the anxiety disappear. Just notice. Coming up next week: Your anxiety is actually trying to protect you, even when it's making your life harder. Understanding why your brain learned to do this can help you stop fighting anxiety and start responding differently.

    Not Everything That Feels Urgent Is Urgent: Telling the Difference Between Real Urgency and Anxiety

    Not Everything That Feels Urgent Is Urgent: Telling the Difference Between Real Urgency and Anxiety An uncomfortable email arrives and you feel like you have to answer right now. A text goes unanswered and you need to know why. You remember a small task and it has to be done before you can sit down. Urgency can feel like important information, but sometimes it's anxiety in a very convincing disguise. In this final episode of our September series on our relationship with doing, I bring the month together by looking at what sits underneath so many of these patterns: urgency. We explore how thoughts and physical sensations reinforce each other, why our brains get so good at "handling it" to find relief, and how to tell the difference between actual urgency (about the situation) and emotional urgency (about the discomfort the situation creates inside us). This isn't about ignoring what matters or swapping urgency for avoidance. It's about creating enough space between the feeling and the action to realize you have a choice. In this episode, we explore: The difference between actual urgency and emotional urgency, with real-life examples"Open loops" and why unresolved things feel so hard to leave aloneHow we create activity when we can't create certaintyA favorite CBT question: Am I responding to a fact or a prediction?False deadlines, or "discomfort deadlines," and the questions that expose them (According to whom? By when? What happens if I wait?)Urgency vs. avoidance vs. regulation, and what flexible responding looks likeWhy so much healing is learning we can survive an unfinished moment This week's Healing Experiment: Identify one false deadline. When your brain says "do it now," ask what the actual deadline is. If there isn't one, create a small intentional delay (10 minutes, 30 minutes, or until tomorrow) and notice what thoughts, body sensations, and fears show up. Then ask: Is this urgency giving me useful information, or is it asking me to make discomfort disappear? This week's takeaway: Not everything that feels urgent is urgent. The feeling is real, but it doesn't have to be an instruction. Sometimes the most regulating thing you can do isn't fixing the problem. It's discovering that you can wait.

    Regulation Isn't the Same as Being Calm

    Somewhere along the way, calm became the gold standard for mental health. But what if we've been measuring regulation by the wrong thing? In this episode, Jessica explains why nervous system regulation isn't about staying calm. It's about recognizing what's happening inside you, understanding what you need, and responding without treating every uncomfortable feeling like an emergency. You'll learn how to catch your earliest signals, why relief and regulation aren't always the same thing, and how to build a regulation menu that fits you. In this episode Why "how do I calm down?" may be the wrong questionWhy calm is one healthy nervous system state, not the only one, and why flexibility is the real goalHow your nervous system gives you information through body sensations, thoughts, and behaviorsWhy your early signals (a 3 out of 10) give you more choices than your loudest ones (a 9)How activation shows up differently for different people: busyness, irritability, control, reassurance seeking, and checkingWhat shutdown and depletion can look like, and why a strategy for overstimulation may not help when you're disconnectedHow coping skills can become another way of demanding the feeling disappearThe difference between relief and regulationWhy a regulation menu works better than one perfect coping skillWhy regulation is an experiment, not a performance Key takeaways You don't have to be calm to be regulated. You can be anxious, irritated, or sad and still make an intentional choice about what happens next.Instead of asking "Did this make me feel better?", try asking "Did this help me respond differently?"The goal isn't to memorize 30 coping strategies. It's to know yourself well enough to have a few realistic options when your system starts giving you information.Tracking your early signals is about learning your patterns, not monitoring yourself all day for signs that something is wrong. This week's healing experiment Catch one early signal. Choose something small, not your biggest symptom or the moment you're already at a 10.Pause and name it: "My system is starting to get activated," or "I'm starting to shut down."Ask yourself, "What might I need right now?"Try one thing.Afterward, don't ask whether the feeling went away. Ask, "Did this give me a little more choice in how I responded?" Resources mentioned My Nervous System Regulation Plan: a fillable, self-guided workbook that helps you identify your regulated baseline, recognize your signs of activation and shutdown, build your own regulation menu, and track what actually helps.
