Mosaic's most recent blog post is written by Hope Sparks. She assists the reader in understanding addictions through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens. Instead of offering shame and condemnation, she encourages the reader to begin viewing the addictive 'parts' through a lens of compassion and curiosity, in order to ultimately offer healing and unburdening from within.

If you’ve never experienced addiction, it can be hard to understand the overwhelming pull it has. For those of us who have, that pull can feel urgent — as if our very survival depends on it. The brain interprets this drive as life-or-death, plunging us into desperation, isolation, shame, guilt, ...

Mosaic's latest blog post is written by Lauren Salazar. She bravely and generously shares insight into her own personal journey of working with a 'Part' of her that can wrestle with feeling "not enough" and "defective".

This one feels icky to write. Even glancing at the title is enough to make me wince. Mostly because I have worked so hard to ignore or “manage” that inner voice whispering, “I am not enough”. Growing up, it didn’t matter how many verbal affirmations I received; how polished I attempted to ...

Cala Ochs, at Mosaic Counseling Services, has written a blog post exploring how one's internal protectors (Internal Family Systems) can be both a hindrance and powerful tool as a parent. Travel with her as she courageously explores aspects of her own internal system and how it influences her as a parent.

To be vulnerable and offer a bit of self-disclosure, I have a part of me that wants to win. At first glance, you might assume this part is simply competitive. And while I do have a fun, competitive side, this part goes deeper. The part that wants to win protects me from feeling small and inadequate

Mosaic's newest blog post is written by Morgan Smith, MA, LMFT. She tackles the precarious tightrope of allowing the inner critic to hijack one's system or utilizing the part to motivate oneself to accomplish hard things.

Be gentle with yourself and be gentle with that inner critic. I have come to recognize this critic part within me, and I have learned all the ways in which it thinks it is helping me. At times, it is a great motivator. At other times, I need to remind this part that it’s going to be okay.

It is the time of year in which we often embrace romantic love through symbolism of cards, chocolate, and hearts.
