Life will always have moments that are upsetting and distressing. In these moments, parts of us get activated, and try to do their best to help us cope. They buzz with anxiety, they try to fix, they focus on others or they find ways to numb us out. This meditation might be helpful in moments where you feel blended or taken over by a part. We hope you find it supportive.

Martin Toré is the creator of IFS Buddy, an AI tool for Internal Family Systems self-therapy that gained traction overnight and now helps thousands of people worldwide, has been showcased at major healthcare conferences, and universities are reaching out to include it in their research.

Martin was previously a physiotherapist, and he talks about how working with people living with chronic pain led him to learn about trauma and the links between trauma and pain. He shares how he learnt to come from his heart when having difficult and delicate conversations with his patients. Martin said he started working with IFS through video guidance and was able to make profound healing shifts through this self work, and shares his humble gratitude that the tool he created 'IFS Buddy' is granting free access for people worldwide to work with their parts outside of a formal IFS session.
