The last episode. The last drink.The last time you check out, numb out, or go back to the very thing you said you were done with.And then it happens again.Not because you don’t care.Not because you’re weak.Not because you’re broken.But because a part of you is trying to help.Most of us know these patterns firsthand.Scrolling late into the night.Binge-watching when we said we would go to bed.Overeating.Using substances.Checking out when life feels like too much.These patterns can take many forms, from scrolling, binge-watching, and overeating to substances, gaming, overworking, sexual behaviors, or other ways we try to regulate overwhelm.And while these behaviors may bring momentary relief or enjoyment, they don’t always fully scratch the itch.So the cycle continues.It can feel isolating.Like you’re the only one who hasn’t figured this out yet.In Internal Family Systems (IFS), these are often called firefighter parts.They show up when something inside feels overwhelming or too painful to sit with.They act quickly to distract, soothe, numb, or intensify experience so you can get through the moment.From the outside, it can look like self-sabotage.From the inside, it is protection.This workshop offers an introduction to understanding these parts in a new way.Not as enemies to fight, but as protectors that need to be understood.Whether you are in recovery, questioning your relationship with certain habits, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, this space is for you.In this workshop, you will begin to:Understand why these behaviors keep happening, even when you don’t want them toLearn what firefighter parts are and what they may be protectingRecognize the cycle of activation, relief, and regretDevelop a more compassionate and effective way of relating to yourselfAccess more space, choice, and calm in moments that usually feel automaticWhat to expect• Guided meditation to help you connect inward• Gentle reflection exercises to explore your patterns• A clear introduction to the IFS model• Optional partner sharing where you can be witnessed without judgment• A simple closing ritual to help anchor what you discoverYou are welcome to participate at your own pace.Sharing is always optional.This is not about forcing change.It is about creating the conditions where change becomes possible.No prior experience with IFS is needed.Come as you are.Exactly as you are.There is nothing wrong with you.There are parts of you that have been working very hard to get you through. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/charleston/ifs-understanding-your-bad-habits-and-how-to-change-them/100001987944057189 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Charleston - **state**: SC - **country**: United States - **location**: Evolved Academy - **lat**: 32.7878469 - **long**: -79.9927859 - **full address**: Evolved Academy, 720 Magnolia Road, Charleston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IFS: Understanding Your “Bad Habits” (and How to Change Them) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/bd8c4dfa2985a0680b0df6fce211e47ce447efe393243ab9870bed1bfbde4930-rimg-w1200-h598-dcd9dbda-gmir.jpg?v=1777286969 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IFS: Understanding Your “Bad Habits” (and How to Change Them) being held? - **A:** IFS: Understanding Your “Bad Habits” (and How to Change Them) takes place on Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Evolved Academy, 720 Magnolia Road, Charleston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing IFS: Understanding Your “Bad Habits” (and How to Change Them)? - **A:** IFS: Understanding Your “Bad Habits” (and How to Change Them) is organized by Fully Express Coaching. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
