On a very special episode, writer/father/friend Soren Bowie sits in as host and invites Mike to explain why he was just out for a bit, and how his life was changed for the better by his experiences in a partial hospitalization program for people undergoing acute mental health challenges. We think this one could be extra-useful, so please give it a listen if you're on a healing journey, and because it starts with a kickass short story from Soren.
The folder of useful documents and exercises referenced in the episode is available here, including Swaim's cast of internal characters (all Star Trek). The Jack Kornfield meditation mentioned is here. Here are some other excellent meditations. The book No Bad Parts by Richard Schwarz, considered the definitive text on Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, is available everywhere.

I avoided listening to this for a while because I knew it would make me cry (it did). But man, what a comfort as I struggle through a months-long wait to see a neuropsych. It IS important to know that other people are going through or have gone through the same things. I just want to say thank you for sharing your stories, Michael and Soren. All love.

Insightful and had me tearing up as always. I keep one of these in the chamber for when I'm not doing good inside and this is literally exactly what i needed. Also, is there anywhere to read a transcript of Soren's story?
