Dr. Reedy discusses how we can understand our experience through using what therapists refer to as “parts work.” From the Ancient Greeks to the present, people have used stories, characters, and archetypes to better understand and work with the different energies that motivate human behavior. These methods, including the most recent iteration, Internal Family Systems, offer a non-shaming perspective where we learn to be in dialogue with ourselves and our parts rather than trying to suppress aspects of the self.

Parts Work - Ep 683


JUST LIKE GRANDADDY'S SON
Lyrics & music By
JR Greely Copyright:1999

He smoked his first cigarette, 
when he was just 13,
whiskey hid his troubles, 
when he thought that life was mean.
I tremble when I think about, 
the road he thinks is fun,
Runnin' down that rocky trail,
like his Grandaddy's son.

CHORUS
When he looks into the mirror, 
I hope he'll see the light,
I know he's just a young boy, 
and livin' for tonight.
When the battle's finally over 
and the devil's on the run,
May he find his way to Jesus, 
just like Grandaddy's son.

He may wind up in a prison, 
doin' life without parole,
or end up in a pine box, 
pushin' daisies from a hole.
I taught him right and wrong, 
I don't know if I won,
I hate to see him be, 
like his Grandaddy's son.

CHORUS
When he looks into the mirror, 
I hope he'll see the light,
I know he's just a young boy, 
and livin' for tonight.
When the battle's finally over 
and the devil's on the run,
May he find his way to Jesus,
just like Grandaddy's son.

BRIDGE
The apple doesn't fall, far from the root and limb,
My daddy had his struggles, like his Dad before him.
With dreams as high as mountains, he climbs then he falls,
With every scar and bruise, I pray we learn from it all.

FINAL CHORUS
When he looks into the mirror, 
I hope he'll see the light,
I know he's just a young man, 
still livin' for the night.
When the battle's finally over 
and the devil's on the run,
May he find his way to Jesus, 
just like Grandaddy's son.

TAG
When the battle's finally over and the devil's on the run,
He found his way to Jesus ........ just like Grandaddy's son.

Guides & Fathers

A local radio campaign sparks a discussion of daddies and their myriad attendant issues to sell everything from furniture polish to frozen desserts. Plus, a car commercial gets some doctorin’, and does Vieves have a hidden talent?

#512 You’re Not My Real Ad!

Dr. Reedy explores various therapy approaches and how they view symptoms. He explains that symptoms are messengers from the unconscious, the inner-child, and authentic self. We learn to be in dialogue with our symptoms. We can learn to listen rather suppress. As Marcus Aurelius says, “What stands in the way is the way.” Or as Rumi wrote, “The cure for the pain is in the pain.”

Symptoms and the Authentic Self - Ep 684

Dr. Reedy discuss the impact of family of origin roles and rules on our psyche. He talks about how we can repair wounds and trauma we experienced. He emphasized the need for overt and explicit communication rather than covert and implicit messaging. He explains how therapy, sitting with a different perspective, can shift the ideas we have sometimes unconsciously internalized.

Family of Origin: Rules, Roles, and Repair - Ep 685

Dr. Reedy addresses the two main tasks of intimacy – sharing and listening. He talks about the capacity required to deeply hear and listen to another. He explains that talking tends to be a taking thing and listening requires healing and significant capacity.

Intimacy – Talking and Taking - Ep 686

A New Look at Boundaries and Letting Go - Ep 687

Dr. Reedy discusses the difference between therapy and a podcast. He explains that ultimately, we must face what is presenting itself to us in our lives. We must go in and through the pain and difficulty to discover news resources that lie within all of us. He talks about how we avoid parts of ourselves and repress feelings, characteristics, or traits in order to fit in and how the problems that bring us to therapy are a call to the hero’s adventure.

Responsibility and Acceptance - Ep 690

Dr. Reedy discusses whether going home for the holidays is the best thing for us. He discusses the guilt, shame and obligation that’s “baked-in” to us when it comes to visiting family or maintaining relationships we have outgrown. He doesn’t offer advice but rather takes the audience through the questions and the thinking that goes into our relationships. He explains that a task in attachment is to let go of others when they need to be somewhere else and how many people feel compelled to spend time with family and others because of unconscious obligations. The nature of the parent-child dynamic is discussed and how it can be turned upside-down when children feel the need to take care of parents’ emotional well-being and egos.
