Ever wondered how the voices from your past shape your present struggles with addiction?

Hosted by Nate Larkin and David Hampton, this conversation is a deep dive into how our internalized childhood experiences, whether they involve trauma, neglect, or other challenges, continue to influence our daily lives and addiction patterns.

She also challenges the toxic notion of perfectionism, urging listeners to make peace with their imperfections as a crucial step towards self-acceptance. Additionally, Sykes emphasizes the role of community in recovery and provides insights into certification and accreditation for those interested in becoming IFS practitioners. As a bonus, she teases her upcoming book with Martha Swayze, which promises to be a practical guide to using the IFS model.
