Why Your Inner Voices Are Trying to Help You Heal | NowShift August 02, 2025
Manage episode 497905977 series 3680288
Yesterday, we opened the door to a deeper way of healing — not by fighting your patterns, but by listening to them.
We began exploring the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and the idea that you are not just one voice inside… you're a whole internal family.
Today, we go a step further.
Dr. Abhimanyou Raathore takes us deeper into the world of these inner voices — the parts of you that sometimes push, pull, sabotage, protect, or comfort you… often all at once.
It might be the critic that won’t stop. The achiever who never rests. Or the one that craves peace but disappears when things get hard.
Here’s the truth:
Every part has a positive intent — even when its actions cause pain.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why parts form in childhood and how they adapt when you're overwhelmed
- The gap between their intention (to help) and their behavior (which might hurt)
- The danger of silencing or shaming parts — and what actually happens when you do
- Why only you as Self — not your therapist, coach, or doctor — can create permanent change
- How this work builds Antifragilience: the ability to grow stronger, not just survive
Start by noticing the voices.
When you say, “A part of me feels like…” — that’s your entry point.
Ask yourself:
Which part do I hear most right now?
Which one gets judged or ignored the most?
Share in the comments. Let’s get to know your system — part by part.
And tomorrow, we’ll meet the core of it all: the Self — your calm, compassionate, powerful inner healer.
