About this episode

In this episode, Joan concludes her IFS sessions with Dr. Risa Adams, focusing on the unburdening process and sharing a song inspired by her experiences.

Dr. Risa Adams is back for our fifth and final recorded IFS session together, and is a direct follow up from part 4 where I connect with a part stuck in a humiliating grade 4 classroom moment. Risa guides me through the unburdening process, and I share a song that this know-it-all part helped me write! Thank you for all your support of this vulnerable series, it’s been so meaningful and rewarding to share with you.
