  • Tenacious Parts: Befriending Grief, Anger, and Hope with Audrey Davidheiser

    Tenacious Parts: Befriending Grief, Anger, and Hope with Audrey Davidheiser
    Oct 11 2024

    In this week’s episode I chat with Audrey Davidheiser, licensed psychologist and Certified IFS therapist and IFSI-approved clinical consultant about working with grief and anger through the Internal Family Systems lens.

    We discuss:

    • How tenacious parts like grief and anger hold on, often because they feel they are protecting something important, like legacy or family loyalty. What can we learn by befriending these tenacious parts rather than fighting them?

    • How your cultural background can influence your emotional experience, and how you can work with legacy burdens in your healing process

    • Grief as a multi-dimensional experience – it's not just about sadness, but can include anger, regret, or even relief

    • Religious Grief and Trauma – how religious trauma can exile parts of ourselves, such as those feeling grief or anger, and the need for compassionate acknowledgment of them

    • All parts grieve differently and how to welcome all parts into the grieving process. How can understanding the different ways we grieve help us heal?

    • Honoring angry parts – befriend anger by understanding its role in protecting something important

    • IFS and Grief – how IFS uniquely holds space for grief

    Favorite Quotes:

    • “It's not just that everybody grieves differently, but every part of you grieves differently as well.”

    • "Angry parts are there because they are protecting something valuable.”

  • Parts Journaling (and dating) with Kylie Feller

    Parts Journaling (and dating) with Kylie Feller
    Oct 4 2024
    On today's episode I chat with Kylie Feller, a Canadian clinical counselor and Level 3 Certified IFS therapist specializing in complex trauma. We chat about two topics she's passionate about: parts journaling and dating. (Our dating convo begins at 15:50). First, Kylie shares tips on connecting to our parts through journaling. Her book, IFS Daily Parts Journal, offers a structured method which she first developed as her own self-care tool. We explore how journaling can be a valuable way to check in with our parts, unblend, and create inner openness, and why it isn't always as easy as it seems. Then we switch gears to explore dating through an IFS lens. Sharing personal insights from her experience in the dating scene, she shares how dating presents opportunities to notice trailheads, meet new parts, and practice Self leadership. We discuss: Journaling with our parts can be like having a self-led therapist, helping us track, check in, and create openness towards different parts of ourselves.Resistance to journaling or parts work is common, and it’s helpful to approach these resistances with curiosity and compassion.There is no one-size-fits-all approach to IFS practices; journaling, singing, art, and even walking can be ways to connect with parts.Dating offers a unique opportunity to explore our parts, activating trailheads that can lead to greater self-understanding and healing.Kylie’s approach to dating with IFS emphasizes self-love, curiosity, and the importance of building internal relationships before seeking external connections.The concept of trusting one's system and allowing for natural growth and change in relationships is key to healing through IFS. Kylie will be presenting at the 2024 IFS Annual Conference in a session titled: Parts Journaling: Develop The Habit of Checking in With Your Parts. About Kylie Feller: Kylie is a Canadian clinical counselor, digital nomad, and Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist. She has personally experienced the healing power of IFS and is passionate about helping others on their self-healing journeys. Kylie is the author of the IFS Daily Parts Journal, designed to help individuals connect with their parts through thoughtfully formatted journal pages. She is currently working on her next book focused on dating through the lens of IFS.

  • Ecotherapy: Finding Self in Nature with Natalie Thomas

    Ecotherapy: Finding Self in Nature with Natalie Thomas
    Sep 28 2024

    In today’s episode I chat with Dr. Natalie Thomas, a psychotherapist and philosopher specializing in climate distress and ecological grief. Natalie, a presenter at the 2024 IFS Annual Conference, explains how nature influences our internal parts and the role of Self Energy in healing, both individually and globally. We explore the connection between humans, animals, and the planet, and how slowing down to engage with nature can shift how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.

    We discuss:

    • How can we reconnect with nature and access our self-energy for healing?
    • The concept of ecotherapy, which includes "walk-and-talk" therapy, inter-species healing, and other outdoor- and nature-focused approaches
    • How nature can be a third entity (triad) in the therapeutic process
    • Simple practices for connecting with Self in nature, including forest bathing and engaging the senses
    • Animals have parts too
    • What is “inter-species” healing?
    • Parts-driven vs. Self-led activism, and how inner healing can lead to more effective, compassionate, and sustainable actions
    • Climate Cafes: hosting a safe space for eco-emotional healing

    One of my favorite quotes from the episode:

    "When we’re in nature, we can access our Self Energy and our parts in a different way—it’s like being part of a larger ecosystem, both inside and out." — Natalie Thomas
