Have you ever really considered your inner thoughts, where they come from, and how and why they act the way they do? Have you ever asked them what age they might be, their fears and needs, and perhaps most intriguingly of all, considered where is the “you” behind the noise?
Clinical studies show from a very, very early age, infants are already playing out the roles of various parts inside of themselves. It seems an intrinsically human and relatable aspect to ourselves that we divide our thoughts into “parts”, each with its own persona. We identify more or less with each of these parts depending upon circumstance and the stories running inside our heads.
If you can begin to unmask the hidden selves and get to know them, it can trigger an extraordinarily fulfilling journey of self-discovery.
This video talks about the fascinating aspect of the human psyche that has become known as “Internal Family Systems” (IFS) but could equally be thought of like a city of individuals residing inside our heads who somehow find an equilibrium. I talk about managers, firefighters and exiles who each support and police our psyche in different ways and become unwittingly burdened by responsibilities they perceive as their “job”. I also show you how to unmask the self and to take steps towards becoming the director of your own internal perceptions and observations.
