At IFS Denver 2019, I saw Dr. Hailan Guo—“the Oprah of China”—introduce Inner Peace Coaching: peer-to-peer IFS practice bypassing therapy taboos. By then, I’d already been practicing daily peer-to-peer parts work with Emma.

I met someone new who had never heard of IFS. As I shared how it transformed my healing, she teared up with relief.

Moments like these remind me why I teach IFS for Self-Healing.

In Part 1, we explored how our “parts” can trick us into thinking we’re guided by intuition or spirit. In Part 2, I offer guidance on discerning real intuition from parts pretending to be intuition.

In Relationsick, I share a friend’s story of how over-giving, fawning, and people-pleasing led to burnout and cancer—and how healing began with facing her shadows and reclaiming her voice.
