In this episode, Brooke Nielsen Yang, a psychotherapist and coach, joins the podcast to discuss the concept of “parts work” and how it can help individuals understand different parts of themselves and manage internal conflicts. Heather and Brooke share examples from their own experiences and tools they use to help engage and navigate their human complexity. The conversation delves into the different types of parts within us, such as authentic self, protector parts, and exile parts, and how recognizing these can lead to living a more authentic life. The discussion also touches on the importance of curiosity in navigating our own internal landscape, and ways that it helps us connect with others too.
