The Art of Living Consciously Dannie Reeve

Episode #026:

Unlock the secrets to living authentically and breaking free from your internal obstacles in our latest episode of the Art of Living Consciously podcast. Discover how core wounds and sub-personalities, formed at different life stages, can mask your true desires and behaviors.

Leaning on Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model, we dissect these sub-personalities—managers, firefighters, and exiles—and reveal how engaging them in dialogue can heal your inner child and usher in a more genuine self-expression.

Ever feel like your overthinking or inner critic gets in the way of meaningful connections? You're not alone. Through compelling personal anecdotes, we showcase how these sub-personalities act as protectors, often leading us to self-sabotage. We discuss actionable steps to recognize these patterns, understand their protective roles, and foster a constructive dialogue to make more authentic choices. Whether it's the fear of public speaking or avoiding potential rejection, we offer practical tools to help you turn these internal barriers into allies for personal growth.

In the final segment, we highlight the transformative power of inner nurturers in achieving authentic self-expression. Reflecting on the lasting impact of nurturing figures in our lives—be it a treasured teacher, a supportive coach, or an inspiring public figure—we demonstrate how journaling and dialogue with these internal nurturers can balance our perspectives and soothe reactive parts of ourselves.
