Episode notes
Spirituality And Science Can Merge
- Gabby Bernstein frames therapeutic methods as spiritually guided and complementary to science.
- Merging intuition and empirical approaches (e.g., IFS) deepens healing and practice.
Lead From Your Self Energy
- Develop access to your Self (capital S) and let that compassionate energy lead your reactions.
- Apply reparenting: give yourself the security and soothing you would give a child first.
Heal Yourself To Parent Better
- The best predictor of parenting style is resolving your own childhood experiences, not classes or past secure attachment.
- Doing personal work improves your capacity to spot and shift triggered responses.
