Parenting While Triggered: Why Understanding our "Parts" Matters, with Rebecca Geshuri, LMFT
Before we dive in: the breakdown of this episode includes a discussion of sexual assault. Please take care while listening.
You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I’m joined by Rebecca Geshuri to talk about something that shows up in motherhood whether we realize it or not: all of our different parts.
We get into Internal Family Systems, or IFS, and how the different parts of us—like the anxious part, the perfectionist part, or the “I’m not good enough” part—can take over in parenting. We talk about why motherhood brings these parts to the surface so quickly, how social and internal pressures amplify them, and what it actually looks like to meet those parts with curiosity instead of trying to push them away.
This conversation is about understanding yourself in a deeper way so you can show up with more calm, more compassion, and more connection, both for your kids and for yourself.
Alright folks, let’s dive in.
