In this episode of the Authentic You Podcast, Gemma is joined by registered psychotherapist Kirsten Davison, founder of Mind the Gap Psychotherapy, for a deep conversation about authenticity, self-trust, fear and breaking old patterns.
Kirsten shares her insight into Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how we can learn to understand and befriend the protective parts of ourselves, rather than fighting against anxiety, fear or difficult emotions.
Together, they explore:
The difference between belonging and fitting in
People-pleasing and breaking family patterns
Love vs fear and learning to work with fear
How to build trust with yourself
Why you don't need to "heal yourself into" a misaligned life
Moving from judgement and shame towards discernment
Creating more space for authenticity and aligned connection
Kirsten's powerful white-knuckling vs open palm metaphor
This is a conversation about going deeper, listening to yourself and having the courage to question whether you are trying to change yourself to fit a life that no longer fits you.
