Episode 11
Friday, 11 July, 2025
Alison Cebula Seastar Goddess of IFS - Internal Family Systems, Kind Warrior & Tend CollectiveHappy Full Moon! Howl and Heal Everyone!Well if this wasn’t a buck moon, we are not quite sure what is. What better to do on the Capricorn Full Moon than move on from that which no longer serves us. It is summer and it is divine and you deserve to discover your own authentic self this summer! With the energy shifting toward you becoming your highest and truest self, sometimes you have to buck off that which no longer serves you….and that includes the internal voices that don’t actually belong to you. In this episode we explore a second level to healing. We strongly suggest listening to Alison’s first episode and then hopping back to this one. Unlocking Spiritual Equity: Healing Through Internal Family Systems and Adverse Childhood ExperiencesIn this episode, Mel reconnects with Alison Cebula to dive into profound personal and therapeutic journeys. They discuss the impact of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how these experiences shaped Alison's life choices and mental health. Alison shares her transformative experiences with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and its role in unblending emotions and healing trauma. The conversation also explores the importance of having a safe environment for therapeutic work, the cultural differences in emotional coping, and the potential for creative expression as a product of healing. They reflect on the importance of addressing childhood neglect and how understanding and working through emotional wounds can lead to a fulfilling life. Key takeaways include valuable book recommendations for those interested in deepening their emotional health and personal growth.Key book recommendations from the episode include Richard Schwartz's 'No Bad Parts', 'You're the One You've Been Waiting For', Tana French's 'The Witch Elm', and 'Running on Empty' by Jonice Webb.00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:12 Catching Up with Alison00:36 Reflecting on Past Episodes01:24 Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)04:32 Exploring Internal Family Systems (IFS)13:48 The Impact of Childhood Emotional Neglect20:17 Navigating Relationships and Boundaries22:35 Deep Trauma Work and Unblending23:40 Struggles with Depression and Therapy24:15 Understanding and Managing Emotions24:34 The Concept of Unblending in IFS25:39 Challenges in Communication and Emotional Expression26:50 The Importance of Self-Work and Therapy27:48 Introduction to Kind Warrior and Tend Collective28:23 Dealing with Workplace Toxicity32:56 The Role of Coaching and Therapy39:46 The Journey of Healing and Creativity44:52 Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans
