238 Healing the Part That Feels Unworthy

What if the parts of you that feel most unworthy… are actually the ones most in need of love? As part of our special summer sabbatical series, I’m sharing conversations that have deeply shaped my healing path—and today’s episode is a powerful one. I’m joined by Rina Dubin, a seasoned psychotherapist and IFS trainer, to explore how Internal Family Systems can help us navigate shame, reconnect with our inherent worth, and transform our relationship with the parts of us we’ve learned to hide. This isn’t about pushing through or perfecting yourself. It’s about gently turning toward the parts that feel tender, critical, or afraid—and learning how to meet them with spacious compassion. Whether you’ve wrestled with an inner critic, carried the weight of unworthiness, or longed for more self-acceptance, this conversation offers a pathway back to wholeness. HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Shame Can’t Be Healed with Force Rina explains how shame is often held by parts that were trying to protect us—and how IFS invites us to meet those parts with empathy, not urgency. 2️⃣ Self-Worth Comes from Relationship, Not Performance True confidence doesn’t come from proving yourself. It comes from nurturing trust with your internal system and leading from your Self. 3️⃣ Even the Inner Critic Has a Purpose When we stop fighting our inner critic and start listening to its fears, we often find it’s been trying to protect something vulnerable all along. This episode is an invitation to befriend the parts of you that feel least lovable—and to discover the quiet, steady presence of the Self within. Because real healing begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves… and start showing up with compassion for every part of who we are.
