This week I interviewed <a href=
"http://www.cecesykeslcsw.com/">Cece
Sykes</a>, an IFS trainer and therapist. We
discussed what happens when we get “stuck” in behaviors that might
feel good in the moment, but which we know don’t help us get what
we really want out of life.
Feeling conflicted is a normal part of life,
and can often lead to the sensation of being “stuck.” The
polarization can be overwhelming and frustrating, as our “manager”
parts struggle to maintain stability and a high level of function,
while our “disruptor” parts initiate behaviors that are often
misguided attempts to fulfill our unmet needs. Behaviors like this
include:
<ul>
<li class="c2">Overeating</li>
<li class="c2">Drinking too much</li>
<li class="c2">Overspending</li>
<li class="c2">Having an affair</li>
</ul>
And so on.
