Sometimes we can feel like we’re not enough, no matter how much we achieve. That voice telling you “who do you think you are?” is Part of you holding on to shame as it tries to protect you.

High performers often bury shame under more work, more control… until it holds all the power. In IFS Therapy we meet shame with curiosity, help it unburden the fear of failure and rejection, and learn that you are more than your mistakes. This helps you lead from Self, not from fear.

If you find yourself noticing that you’ve had to be “the strong one” and “the one everyone counts on,” you might be feeling the weight of that responsibility. But just because you can hold it all together doesn’t mean you should have to.

Pushing down emotion might’ve helped you get through the hard stuff — but over time, it can take a toll. Burnout. Overthinking. Disconnection. Trouble sleeping.

In therapy, we work with the parts of you that learned to survive by staying in control — and the parts that got pushed aside along the way.

Healing doesn’t mean falling apart, it means reconnecting.

Hi, I’m Monty — an IFS-informed therapist at Center Focused Therapy.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how it helps you understand the different “parts” of your mind.

You might know the ones — the Inner Critic that never lets up, or the Driven Part that always asks, “What’s next?”
They mean well, but can leave you tense, tired, and stuck in overdrive.

IFS helps you meet those parts with compassion instead of pressure — so they can rest, and you can too.

✨ Curious or skeptical? That’s normal — those are parts too.

If you, or anyone you know, could benefit from support, please share this and encourage them to reach out!

Therapists engaged in long-term treatment often encounter dynamics that may leave them feeling stuck and lead to difficulties identifying effective interventions.

This CE offers 2 credits, is free for students, and $30 for clinicians (LPCs, LCPCs, LSWs, LCSWs, and licensed clinical psychologists). We would love to have you join us - please use the link below to sign up!
