Perhaps best known for her book Eat Pray Love, prolific author Elizabeth Gilbert discussed using the IFS lens in <a href= "http://www.oprah.com/inspiration/elizabeth-gilbert-what-to-do-when-you-dont-know-what-to-do"> her recent piece on Oprah.com</a>! I love seeing IFS in the media. Elizabeth did some “deep diving” to examine the conflicting emotions she felt in reaction to a friend’s toxic behavior. Instead of lashing out or withdrawing from her friend, she named her parts and got to know them. This week, inspired by Elizabeth, I want to talk about some of the ways we can all use IFS to help ourselves. For more, visit: bethrogerson.com
