142. A Kinder Way to Understand Ourselves with Amy Decker
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt like one part of you wants to slow down while another insists you keep pushing? Or wondered why your inner critic can be so relentless?
In this episode, we sit down with my dear friend, Amy Decker, LCSW, to explore the powerful framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) —a compassionate approach that teaches us that we all have different "parts" inside us, and that none of them are inherently bad.
Amy shares her remarkable journey from joining the Marine Corps at just 17 years old to becoming a trauma therapist, HeartMath facilitator, and one of the most compassionate clinicians I know. Together, we discuss why so many caregivers and high-achieving women lose touch with their own needs, how our protective patterns develop, and why healing begins with curiosity instead of judgment.
We also explore the beautiful overlap between IFS and ancient yogic philosophy: beneath all of our fears, habits, and protective strategies is our true Self—calm, compassionate, curious, and whole.
