IFS Therapy: Rewire Trauma, Calm Anxiety & Find Your True Self in Your 20s —Jeremy Schneider | Ep 25
Description
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode in your 20s even when you're "doing everything right"? Licensed therapist and former CTO Jeremy G. Schneider (founder of Build on Your Strength) explains Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy — how your mind is made of protective "parts" formed from trauma, and how to access your calm, confident core Self. Learn why nervous system regulation is key to breaking free from anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-sabotage, plus simple daily tools like grounding, breathing, and self-compassion that young adults can use immediately for emotional resilience, clarity, and purpose.
**Key Highlights:**
- How technology systems thinking applies to mental health and trauma healing
- Understanding your "parts" (anxiety, inner critic, etc.) and the core Self
- Why things feel harder due to an overactivated nervous system
- Practical regulation tools: Breathwork, grounding, walks, and self-compassion
- Moving from survival mode to authentic growth and connection
