Ep 44 - Your Emotions Are Not the Enemy: Faith-Based Healing Through IFS

Описание: What if your emotions were not the problem, but the pathway to healing?

In this powerful conversation, Melissa sits down with licensed psychologist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist Dr. Audrey Davidheiser to explore how trauma healing, faith, and emotional health are deeply connected.

Dr. Audrey breaks down Internal Family Systems in a simple, accessible way, explaining how we all have “parts” within us and why that does not mean we are broken. She shares how the IFS concept of the Self aligns with a Christian understanding of God-given wisdom, calm, compassion, and healing power that remains untouched by trauma.

Together, Melissa and Dr. Audrey discuss:

Why emotions are not your enemy and what happens when you suppress them

How trauma survivors often stay stuck in their head and avoid deeper healing

The role of protector parts, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness

Common misconceptions about IFS, therapy, and faith-based healing

How IFS can support grief, religious trauma, and emotional healing

Practical ways to begin listening to your emotions with curiosity instead of judgment

This episode is especially for women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their emotions, or unsure how faith and therapy can work together. If you have ever felt like you were “too much,” “too sensitive,” or broken, this conversation will remind you that healing is already built into how God designed you.
