Buddhism and Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Ralph De La Rosa

In this episode of Going Inside, I’m joined by psychotherapist, meditation instructor, and author Ralph De La Rosa to explore his journey from trauma and addiction to becoming a leader in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Buddhist meditation. We dive into the powerful intersections between IFS and Buddhist principles, including how self-energy aligns with the awakened state and the role of reparenting our wounded parts. Ralph also shares insights from his new book, “Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Self-Compassion,” which provides a step-by-step guide for turning daily life into a healing journey.

Key Takeaways:
1. Self-energy in IFS aligns with the Buddhist concept of the awakened state, offering a foundation for reparenting wounded parts and fostering growth.

2. Trauma can condition us to mistake chaos for home, but cultivating peace and curiosity helps us reclaim a sense of balance.

3. True healing arises through deep self-awareness and compassion, allowing us to rediscover vitality, joy, and emotional intelligence.
