What is Internal Family Systems Therapy? + Welcome to Going Inside

Going Inside: Healing Trauma from the Inside Out

Episode Overview:

In this episode, I'm diving deep into how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy has shaped not just my practice but my entire journey. Join me as I share the profound impact IFS has had on my life and how it continues to transform the way I approach therapy.
Key Topics Discussed:

1. Introduction to IFS:
I walk you through the fundamental concepts of IFS therapy, explaining the roles of protectors, exiles, and the Self, and how they form the basis of this non-pathologizing approach.
2. IFS in Practice:
We explore the practical side of working with IFS, from techniques like getting to know your parts to unblending and fostering integration within your internal system.
3. Self-Leadership and Healing:
I go into the power of self-leadership in IFS and how it guides parts toward healing, integration, and overall well-being. I'll share personal stories and insights from my own healing journey with IFS.
4. Teaching and Learning IFS:
I share my personal journey of learning and teaching IFS, from intensive training programs to offering consultation to fellow therapists, all aimed at spreading the transformative power of IFS.
5. Future Plans For the Show:
I share my hopes for the show, including upcoming interviews with experts, deep dives into IFS concepts, and opportunities for interactive learning and demonstrations. I also express my gratitude to my mentor, the late Derek Scott, whose teachings have profoundly influenced my understanding and practice of IFS.
