  • When the Past Shows Up in Your Relationships: Identifying Younger Parts in Romantic Partnerships
    Romantic love has a way of poking at our deepest wounding. Even when life feels steady elsewhere, intimacy can trigger reactions that don’t feel like our true selves. Sarah explains that this is often the work of our parts — younger versions of ourselves that carry past trauma and coping strategies — and that these parts can show up most strongly in our closest relationships.In this episode of You Make Sense, Sarah explores how vulnerable, protective, and self-like parts shape the roles we play with partners, from caretaking to perfectionism. She shares how these patterns are often rooted in childhood experiences and why they can make intimacy feel both desirable and threatening. With somatic insights and practical tools, Sarah shows how to reparent younger parts, anchor into the adult self, and create relationships that feel authentic and safe. Episode Highlights:[00:00] Identifying the parts of us that show up in romantic relationships[01:41] How parts form through overwhelming or traumatic experiences[06:08] Why parts show up most strongly in romantic partnerships[09:51] Three categories of parts: vulnerable, protective, and self-like[10:48] How protective parts protect vulnerable parts[14:23] Self-like parts: how they mimic adult selves and feel rational[17:25] Learning to distinguish your adult self from younger parts[28:19] Tools to anchor into your adult self in relationships[29:50] Exercises to see your partner clearly and take in the good[34:21] The importance of reparenting your parts[34:51] How to repair after conflict and name adult vs. younger needs[37:48] Question 1: Working with caretaker protector parts in relationships[53:15] Question 2: Attraction challenges when seeing your partner’s child parts[01:08:07] Question 3: The role of your nervous system in letting go of long relationships RSVP to Sarah’s FREE Live Training + Q&A Series:Ready to take the next step with nervous system healing?

  • Understanding Healthy Aggression and How Unprocessed Anger Becomes Internalized
    Have you ever been told you're "too nice" or found yourself saying "I'm fine" even when you're really not? For so many of us, anger can feel scary or wrong, like something we should push down or avoid entirely. But Sarah explains that there's a difference between healthy and unhealthy expressions of anger, and that healthy aggression—your natural ability to protect yourself and speak up when something isn't right—is actually essential for feeling safe and alive in your body.In this episode, Sarah explores why so many of us learned to inhibit this vital, life-force energy, often as a way to survive difficult experiences. If you've ever found yourself being chronically agreeable, struggling to set boundaries, or getting angry about small things while staying silent about the big ones, this episode is for you. You’ll learn gentle, somatic tools to reconnect with this protective energy so that you can access the full spectrum of who you are. Episode Highlights:00:30 Healthy Aggression10:45 Unhealthy Aggression17:23 Different Versions of Unhealthy Aggression21:19 What Happens When We Inhibit Healthy Aggression?24:58 How to Access Healthy Aggression38:06 Question #1 - How Do You Overcome Self-Hatred?47:15 Question #2 - Tending to a Younger Part’s Anger and Resentment56:36 Question #3 - Why Do I Get So Irritated with My Children?01:02:47 Question #4 - Releasing Stored Anger From the Jaw Join My Free Live Training + Q&A Series:                                                                Understanding how your nervous system works is the foundation for everything you want in life.
