Move Toward

About this book

What if the things you don't like about yourself aren't character flaws--but parts of you doing their best to protect you? The inner critic. Anxiety. People-pleasing. Anger. That wall you've built around your heart. What if you stopped fighting against these parts of yourself and moved toward them instead? In this relatable and refreshingly real guide, best-selling author and therapist Jenna Riemersma shows you how. Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy--an approach rooted in the belief that all parts are welcome--Jenna introduces a clear, three-step process for better understanding yourself, your relationships, and the way you move in the world. Filled with real-life stories, exercises, and reflection questions designed for journaling, therapy sessions, or small group exploration, Move Toward isn't just a book--it's a deeply therapeutic experience that invites all parts of yourself to the table, even the ones you don't like. (Turns out, they've been on your side all along.)
