The Highly Sensitive Adult Child: How IFS Helps Us Understand Why We Feel Everything So Deeply
Many HSP adult children describe a kind of internal peace that comes from finally understanding what's happening inside.
Something begins to shift. Not overnight. But gradually, the internal conflict becomes less about fighting yourself and more about understanding the parts of your system and what they're trying to do.
You don't have to choose between being sensitive and being safe. You don't have to choose between honoring your depth and surviving in an unsupportive world. Both can exist. Both deserve acknowledgment.
Finding Your People: IFS and the Search for Community as a COVID-Cautious, Childfree Woman
Finding your people as a COVID-cautious, childfree woman isn't easy. There's a real cost to living outside multiple norms simultaneously. The isolation is real. The searching is real. The grief about not fitting neatly into existing structures is real.
But many women also discover that this search, while painful, has led them to communities they wouldn't have found otherwise. Communities built on genuine connection rather than circumstance. Communities that honor complexity and autonomy. Communities where they can finally be fully seen.
An Exciting Announcement!

Exploring the Inner Landscape: How Can I Connect with Self?
Connecting with your Self, as defined in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, involves tapping into your core, which is characterized by qualities such as compassion, curiosity, courage, and calmness. The Self is considered the natural state of your being, your true and authentic core, and moving from Self can lead to increased self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being.
