Is anxiety something to overcome—or could it be inviting us into a deeper relationship with ourselves?
In this episode of The Intuitive Self Podcast, I sit down with trauma therapist John Clarke to explore anxiety through the lenses of Internal Family Systems (IFS), nervous system awareness, and trauma healing. Together, we discuss why anxiety is unique to each person, the burdens it often carries, and how approaching it with curiosity and compassion can lead to profound healing. We also explore perfectionism, shame, masking, supporting others with anxiety, and how to discern the difference between fear and intuition.
In This Episode We Explore:* Why anxiety is different for everyone * The nervous system's role in anxiety * Common burdens such as "I'm not enough" * Perfectionism, shame, and masking * Why anxiety isn't something to eliminate * How to support someone experiencing anxiety * The connection between anxiety, intuition, and Self-energy * Practical steps for turning toward anxiety with compassion
About John ClarkeJohn Clarke is a trauma therapist, Clinical Director of Calm Again Counseling in San Francisco, host of the Going Inside podcast, and founder of Pathways to Self, a clinical consultation community for trauma therapists. With more than 13 years of experience and advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing, John is passionate about making trauma therapy more accessible while helping therapists build sustainable practices that support both their clients and themselves.

What if your relationship with food isn’t about willpower… but about the parts of you that have learned to use food as protection, comfort, control, or survival?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kim Daniels, Clinical Psychologist, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and author of Heal Your Love-Hate Relationship with Food: An Intuitive Eating and Internal Family Systems Workbook, for a powerful conversation about healing our relationship with food by understanding the inner system driving our eating behaviors.
Together, we explore how diet culture and societal messaging deeply shape our beliefs around food, body image, and worthiness — often creating polarized parts that keep us stuck in cycles of shame, restriction, emotional eating, and disconnection from our bodies. Dr. Kim shares what inspired her to write her new workbook and how combining IFS with intuitive eating offers a compassionate path toward true healing.
We also dive into the critical role of Self-energy in helping us build trust with eating parts, why traditional approaches to food often overlook the emotional and protective functions behind our behaviors, and how parts work can help us move from a love-hate relationship with food into greater freedom, connection, and self-compassion.
In This Episode We Explore:• Dr. Kim’s inspiration behind writing Heal Your Love-Hate Relationship with Food
• The impact of diet culture and societal messaging around food and body image
• Understanding eating disorders through the lens of Internal Family Systems
• How protective parts influence our eating behaviors and relationship with food
• The role of Self-energy in healing food-related struggles
• Why intuitive eating and parts work are powerful when integrated together
• Moving beyond shame and toward healing your relationship with food

She is a Certified, Level 2 trained Internal Family Systems therapist, an approved clinical consultant, and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

What if your sensitivity was never the problem?
In this podcast episode I sit down with Dr. Steve Chee to explore sensitivity, intuition, Internal Family Systems, and what becomes possible when we stop pathologizing the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught are “too much.”
Together, we unpack the experience of being a highly sensitive person and the power of finally naming it. Dr. Steve shares insights on how sensitivity often develops within the relational field—how we learn to sense, adapt, perform, protect, and belong in response to the emotional environments around us.
We explore the important distinction between sensitivity and intuition, and how many people bury the gift of sensitivity because of family systems, cultural beliefs, or experiences of being misunderstood.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it means to be a highly sensitive person—and the relief of naming it
- Sensitivity and the relational field
- The difference between sensitivity and intuition
- How family and cultural messages can bury sensitivity as a gift
- Feeling like you are “too much” for others
- Masking, performing, and adapting to belong
- Protective parts that temper emotion (including my own “Ice Queen” part)
- The gifts hidden beneath burdens and survival strategies
- What happens when your “too muchness” isn’t actually too much
- Field awareness and relational sensitivity
- Dr. Steve’s upcoming book, The Field-Aware Soul
Dr. Steve offers such a compassionate and paradigm-shifting perspective for sensitives, mystics, helpers, and anyone whose gifts bent toward survival before they had the chance to fully emerge.
This conversation is an invitation to wonder:
What if your sensitivity isn’t something to fix—but something to understand, honor, and reclaim?
About Dr. Steve CheeDr. Steve Chee is an Integrative East–West Physician and Certified IFS Therapist, most recently the creator of the IFS Institute’s Continuity Program, The Sacred Nervous System, and originator of The Field-Aware Soul Ecology—a relational framework for people whose sensitivity arrived early and became recruited into caretaking, performing, and belonging at a cost.
His work centers around a powerful question:
What if field sensitivity isn’t a wound to heal, but a relational capacity waiting to be met?
He works with sensitives, mystics, and those who were told they were “too much”—helping people reclaim gifts that once bent toward survival and transform them into deeper connection, authenticity, and belonging.

In this conversation I’m joined by Andrea Tessier—self-trust coach, IFS practitioner, and author—for a rich discussion on what it truly means to trust yourself from the inside out.
We explore how self-trust is an inward-facing relationship, while confidence is often the outward expression of that trust. Andrea shares how intuition can become a practical daily guide, including her practice of asking, “What should I do today?” and learning to trust what naturally arises.
Together, we talk about the internal barriers to self-trust—the protective parts that carry fear, doubt, or hesitation—and how these “gatekeepers” can actually become allies when approached with compassion through an Internal Family Systems lens.
We also discuss:
- The difference between self-trust and confidence
- How protective parts can block or guard self-trust
- Ways to nurture and cultivate trust in yourself over time
- Practicing openness to receive intuitive guidance
- How to discern between protective parts and intuitive knowing
- Recognizing the unique ways intuition speaks to each of us
- Why IFS can be seen as a practice of intuition
- Nature as a powerful pathway back to inner knowing
- The first step to strengthening your intuition
- Andrea’s new book, The Self-Trust Journal
Andrea’s work is rooted in The Self-Trust Blueprint™, an IFS-informed framework that supports ambitious non-conformists standing at the threshold of something new—guiding them from self-doubt into genuine self-led living.
If you’ve been craving deeper trust in yourself, your path, or your inner voice, this episode is for you.

In this episode I’m joined by Tracey Soghrati—Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse—to explore breath as a pathway to healing, regulation, and connection.
We begin with a simple truth: everybody breathes—but not everyone feels safe in their breath.
I share my personal history with respiratory illness, including TB, pneumonia, and asthma, and how these experiences activated vulnerable parts within me. Together, we explore how breath is not just physical—it’s emotional, protective, and deeply relational.
Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, we unpack the parts of us connected to breathing, including those that brace, restrict, or fear being heard. We also explore how breath impacts the nervous system and how intentional breathwork can support regulation and healing.
This episode includes three guided breathing practices, led by Tracey, so you can experience this work firsthand.
In This Episode, We Explore:* The universal yet complex nature of breathing * How illness and trauma can impact our relationship with breath * The connection between breath and the nervous system * Protective parts that brace, restrict, or control breathing * The impact of chronic body bracing on emotional and physical health * Fear around vocalizing breath and being heard * Building safety and relationship with the breath * Three guided breathing practices you can return to anytime
About Tracey SoghratiTracey Soghrati is a Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience. She specializes in the intersection of mind, body, and mindfulness, translating complex research into practical tools that integrate psychology, movement, and breath.

Have you ever considered that you might already be in a trance?
In this episode, I sit down with Zarina Tariq, Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati, to explore hypnotherapy as a powerful bridge to healing, self-trust, and inner knowing.
We talk about how many of us walk through life in unconscious “trance states” shaped by limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and protective patterns — and how hypnotherapy can gently help us wake up.
Zarina shares the history of hypnotherapy, what it actually is (and isn’t), and clears up common misconceptions about hypnosis. We explore the difference between everyday trance states and intentionally entering trance “at will” for healing and transformation.
You’ll also hear:
- What a typical hypnotherapy session looks like
- How hypnotherapy helps access the subconscious mind
- How it supports breaking self-sabotaging patterns
- The similarities and differences between hypnotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- The connection between hypnotherapy and chakras
- My personal experience working with Zarina
About Zarina Tariq:Zarina Tariq is an Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati. She helps individuals break free from limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, and self-sabotaging patterns by addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms.
Blending hypnotherapy, energy work, and coaching, Zarina empowers her clients to unlock the vast potential of their subconscious minds, cultivate self-confidence, and step into their personal power with clarity and confidence.

In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, I sit down with Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT, Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist and creator of the Mom Parts Method, to talk about something so many mothers silently carry:
Mom parts.
The anxious ones.
The angry ones.
The overwhelmed ones.
The “I should be better at this” ones.
And the truth that often feels radical:
There are no bad mom parts.
Jessica brings her expertise in Internal Family Systems and perinatal mental health to help us understand how motherhood activates powerful manager and firefighter parts—and how IFS offers a compassionate path forward.
We Discuss: What “mom parts” are and why they make so much sense * Common manager mom parts * Common firefighter mom parts * Why guilt and shame keep moms blended with their parts * How IFS helps mothers unblend and move toward compassion instead of self-criticism * The cultural burdens of motherhood and the impossible expectations placed on women * How vulnerable parts can re-emerge as our children reach different developmental stages * The concerning decline in maternal mental health—and why this isn’t about individual failure * The “selfish vs. selfless” burden so many mothers carry internally * Jessica’s Mom Part Cards for self-reflection and how to use them in daily life * Her groundbreaking new book, When Good Moms Feel Bad*
About Jessica Tomich Sorci:Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT, is a Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist, IFSI Approved Clinical Consultant, Certified Perinatal Mental Health therapist, and creator of the Mom Parts Method.

In this episode, I’m joined by IFS therapist, consultant, and author Max Littman, LCSW, for a deeply meaningful conversation about his groundbreaking new book:
Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out
Max’s work centers the lived experiences of gay and queer men through an Internal Family Systems lens, offering a compassionate, culturally attuned resource for healing after the coming out process—when many parts, burdens, and relational dynamics can become activated in new ways.
This episode is filled with tenderness, truth, and the powerful reminder that taking up space creates space—and that vulnerability can become an invitation for collective healing.
We Discuss: Why Max wrote a companion for AFTER coming out, rather than before * The emotional and relational layers that can emerge in the years following coming out * How cultural burdens within gay and queer communities can shape internal parts and protective strategies * The importance of representation, visibility, and storytelling as a form of collective unburdening * Max’s personal experience navigating identity, attachment, and healing after coming out * The powerful role of media and relational narratives, including reflections on Heated Rivalry* and the impact of seeing queer struggle and love portrayed honestly * An IFS-informed practice "The Pool Party" for meeting and understanding different parts * Max’s heartfelt message to gay and queer men seeking deeper connection, healing, and wholeness
Max reminds us that healing doesn’t stop once someone comes out. In many ways, it’s only the beginning of a deeper internal journey—one that includes meeting the parts shaped by shame, longing, belonging, protection, and cultural expectation.
This conversation offers a supportive and empowering path toward Self-leadership, authenticity, and relational healing.
About Max Littman:Max Littman, LCSW, is an IFS therapist, consultant, and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work focuses on attunement, attachment, cultural burdens, and relational and neurobiological understandings of trauma. He specializes in working with gay and queer men and provides mentorship to therapists in private practice.
Max has served as a Program Assistant for IFS Level 1 and Somatic IFS Step 2 trainings. He is also the author of a widely read IFS blog exploring themes such as the weaponization of Self, the practice of attunement, and the importance of normalizing therapeutic missteps.
His new book is the first IFS book to center gay and queer men:
Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out
Links & Resources:Max’s Website:

https://a.co/d/6WA6iIO
Final Message:If you are a gay or queer man navigating identity, relationships, belonging, or the inner world that unfolds after coming out—this episode and Max’s book offer a compassionate companion for the journey.
And for therapists, allies, and loved ones who want to better understand and support the gay and queer experience, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of culturally attuned, representation-centered healing spaces.

In today’s intuitive conversation, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS therapist Catherine Cope, a clinician and clairvoyant who beautifully bridges Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, intuitive development, and spiritual presence. Catherine and I first met while serving as program assistants in an IFS Level 1 training, where a moment of vulnerability opened a doorway between us: I shared with the group that I’m clairvoyant… and Catherine shared that she is too.
From there, an entire inner world of resonance opened.
Together, we explore our early experiences with intuition and the spiritual realms, the parts of us that feared being seen—and being seen seeing—and how both of us gradually learned to trust our inner vision. Catherine also shares about her four years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, where she trained in clairvoyance, grounding practices, energetic boundaries, and the art of inhabiting the human body as a conscious, intuitive being.
This episode moves through the ways intuition naturally supports IFS therapy, how to fine-tune your inner instrument, and how to invite guidance—internal and spiritual—into the healing process. We also talk about the courage it takes to let intuitive gifts come forward, especially when parts hold fear, skepticism, or concern.
This is a grounded, expansive conversation about intuition, psychic development, parts work, and learning to trust the deeper knowing inside each of us.
Topics We Cover Early life experiences sensing the spiritual realm and intuitive information * Parts that feared being seen and* being seen seeing * Catherine’s four years of clairvoyant training at the Berkeley Psychic Institute * Grounding cords, visualization, and why the body believes the pictures we see * Tools for living fully in the human body and claiming it as your own * Closing the eyes during IFS sessions to deepen connection, centering, and clarity * What clairvoyance is—and a discussion of the other clairs * Why everyone has intuitive access (and which clairs you naturally tune into) * Understanding intuition as an instrument each of us tunes differently * How to strengthen intuition through IFS, meditation, grounding, and embodiment * Using intuitive information ethically and skillfully in IFS work * Discerning what belongs to the client vs. what belongs to you * Asking internal and external guides for support in session * Addressing Protector Parts who fear intuition or visibility
About Catherine Cope, LCMHCCatherine Cope is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New York and North Carolina with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. She is a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist, an IFS Approved Clinical Consultant, a Certified EMDR Therapist, and Hakomi-trained, integrating somatic, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches into her work.
Catherine’s clinical training is complemented by decades of contemplative and intuitive study. She spent four years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute and has worked for more than 30 years with intuitive counselor Christen McCormack, whose teachings continue to shape her meditative and intuitive practices.
She is also married and the mother of two rapidly growing children, whose presence brings both unpredictability and deep love into her daily life—further enriching her understanding of human complexity and connection.

In today’s expansive conversation, I sit down with Danielle Carron, a therapist, spiritual guide, and mystic who bridges Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, meditation, and consciousness work. Danielle and I first met at the IFS conference and immediately bonded over our shared love of quantum physics, the mystery of time, and the sacred nature of healing.
At 19 years old, Danielle survived a traumatic rock-climbing accident that initiated a profound Near Death Experience (NDE)—one that revealed timelessness, unconditional love, and the truth of who she really is beyond fear, identity, and the limits of the body. That experience became the foundation of her life’s mission: bringing the sacred into healing and helping others awaken through their pain.
This episode explores how meditation can access the same expansive, transcendent states of consciousness Danielle touched in her NDE—states of nonlinear time, eternal connection, and pure Self-energy. We explore what becomes possible when parts soften back and give us space to experience our higher consciousness directly.
This is a deep, beautiful conversation that bends time itself.
Topics We Cover
- How we met at the conference + shared love of quantum physics and time
- Danielle’s Near Death Experience at age 19 and how it transformed her life
- Linear vs. nonlinear time and why it matters for healing
- Meditation as a pathway to expansive, transcendent states of Self
- The timeless nature of Self and accessing Divine unconditional love
- Parts that fear transcendence and how to support them
- Letting go of survival-driven linear time
- The theme of unconditional love in NDEs and Self-energy
- Discussion of Danielle’s 45-minute meditation for nonlinear time
- My personal experience practicing her meditation
- Benefits of transcendent states + how present work impacts the past
- Recommendations for accessing higher consciousness through meditation
- “Who am I when my parts give me space?”
About Danielle Carron, MS, MA, SEP, LPCDanielle has been working with clients in private practice for over 17 years. At age 19, she lived through a rock-climbing fall and a profound Near Death Experience that changed everything. It revealed her true identity beyond fear, beyond the body, and beyond linear time.
Since then, Danielle has devoted her life to bridging psychology, embodiment, meditation, and the sacred. Her work integrates Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, spiritual practice, and consciousness studies. She guides clients into their wholeness—mind, body, and soul.
She is a therapist, mystic, teacher, and companion for the full human experience.

What happens when the healing world of Internal Family Systems meets the imaginative art of puppetry?
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Saltzman, LMP — a self-proclaimed puppet nerd, bodyworker, grief educator, and IFS practitioner — to explore how puppets can bring our inner parts to life in the therapy room and beyond.
Mark and I chat about the serendipitous way we met at the IFS Conference, and how puppetry became a playful yet powerful tool for accessing the body’s wisdom and deep emotional truth.
We talk about:
- The benefits of using puppets to externalize and connect with parts
- How embodiment and play foster safety and Self-energy
- Why there are no bad puppets (or parts!)
- Using puppets for direct access, exile work, and legacy burdens
- How you can start using puppets on your own for part connection
This episode is equal parts (pun intended) creative, curious, and compassionate — reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. Sometimes, play opens the deepest doors.
About Mark Saltzman, LMP:
Mark Saltzman is a Licensed Massage Practitioner with over 30 years of experience, trained at Bastyr University’s Bellevue Massage School. His work blends therapeutic bodywork, somatic IFS, and creative expression to help clients reconnect with their inner world through the body.
A Level 2 IFS practitioner and certified Grief Educator, Mark’s approach integrates touch, presence, and imagination — guiding clients to meet their parts with curiosity and compassion. He’s also the founder of Kiwuppet Studios, where he designs and performs puppets that bring emotional worlds to life.

Fresh from the 2025 IFS Conference and in celebration of the podcast's 100th episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS enthusiast, Tammy Sollenberger, for a lively and heartfelt debrief. In true synchronicity, we somehow kept signing up for the same seminars—without ever comparing notes beforehand. We talk about our parts, our paths, and maybe a touch of destiny.
Tammy opens up about what it’s like to be an “IFS celebrity” (yes, we said it!) and the part of her that found it difficult to fully surrender as a participant in sessions while being so publicly known in the community. I share about my socially anxious parts and how they showed up throughout the conference, and together we explore how our systems reacted to the intensity, the beauty, and the vulnerability of being surrounded by hundreds of other parts and protectors in one big IFS field.
I also share some clairvoyant messages that came through for both of us — intuitive nudges about healing, alignment, and the unexpected ways our friendship continues to unfold inside and outside the IFS community.
This episode is a blend of reflection, laughter, emotional honesty, and gentle self-discovery — just what you’d expect from two friends who speak IFS fluently and love exploring the edges between psychology and soul.
What We Talk About How we kept accidentally* attending all the same IFS conference seminars * Tammy’s experience of being an “IFS celebrity” and the protector that kept her from full vulnerability as a participant * My socially anxious parts and how they showed up in crowded conference spaces * The parts of us that got activated during the conference — and how we worked with them * Our individual experiences as presenters * Tammy’s real-time vulnerability: sharing about her romantic breakup in her presentation and how her system responded * Clairvoyant messages and intuitive insights that came through for both of us * Takeaways, integration, and how the IFS model continues to deepen our friendships and inner awareness

In this episode, I sit down with one of my IFS mentors Chris Burris, LMFT, Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute, to explore one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of our inner world: the inner critic.
Chris shares his personal journey with IFS and how the model offers a radical permission to approach ourselves—and our parts—with more love, kindness, and curiosity. Together, we discuss:
- Why people are more than the behavior of their parts
- The nature of inner critic parts and why pushing them away doesn’t work
- How cultural messages often teach us to fight or silence the inner critic, rather than befriend it
- Common “suck points” when working with critics in therapy
- The role of legacy burdens in shaping our inner critics
- What it means to carry the critical energy of others inside us
- The importance of following intuition in the healing process
- Practical exercises to begin befriending your inner critic on your own
This conversation is both grounding and liberating, offering a compassionate reframe for anyone who struggles with self-judgment or harsh inner voices.
About Chris Burris:Chris Burris, M.Ed., LCMHCS, LMFT (he/him), is a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, providing Level II and III trainings worldwide. He has been an IFS Therapist since 1999 and a practicing psychotherapist since 1987.

In this episode I sit down with Heather Smith—Certified IFS therapist and founder of The Moxie School®—to explore the profound intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and psychedelic-assisted healing.
Heather shares her deeply personal path into both IFS and psychedelics, sparked by a lifelong inquiry: How do people truly heal? Together, we dive into the ways psychedelic experiences can deepen parts work, the essential role of Self-energy in lasting transformation, and why healing doesn’t come from the medicine—but from within.
_________________________
We Explore:
- Heather’s journey into IFS and expanded states of consciousness
- The deep synergy between IFS and psychedelics
- How MDMA can amplify Self-energy
- The power of witnessing parts in altered states
- Why preparation is non-negotiable before a medicine journey
- The consequences of skipping the prep and integration process
- The role of the IFS Self-led guide in enhancing psychedelic journeys
- What “integration” really means—and why it’s the completion, not the afterthought
- The myth that the medicine does the healing (hint: it’s your Self that does)

What happens when Internal Family Systems meets the mystical? In this episode I’m joined once again by therapist, teacher, and spiritual guide Chris Hancock to explore Transpersonal Internal Family Systems (T-IFS)—a sacred weaving of parts work with direct connection to the Divine.
Together, we explore how T-IFS opens portals to higher realms of healing, the many expressions of Divine love and light, and how spiritual beings—including Mother Mary and Isis—can participate in unburdenings and transformation. Chris also shares his process of spiritual awakening and the path that led him to co-create this multidimensional form of healing. I share my own powerful T-IFS session with Chris, including an emotional message received from Mother Mary that brought me to tears.
This episode is a testament to what becomes possible when we listen deeply, surrender, and allow Love itself to lead the way.
_______________________________
In this episode, we discuss:* What is Transpersonal IFS and how it evolved * The many expressions of the Divine and how they show up in healing * How Chris integrates higher realms into unburdenings * Stories from powerful T-IFS sessions, including guides, ancestors, and angelic presences * Parts that block access to the Divine and how to gently be with them * My personal experience with Mother Mary and Isis during a T-IFS session * The emotional and sacred message Chris received from Mother Mary the day after our session.

What if our inner parts weren’t just fragments of the psyche—but vessels designed to receive divine love?
My guests today are Chelsea Odhner, Robert Falconer, and Jonathan S. Rose—co-authors of the new book Opening the Inner World: Spiritual Healing, Internal Family Systems, and Emanuel Swedenborg. Together, we explore the playful spirit that brought this project to life and the profound insights that emerged at the intersection of IFS therapy and Swedenborgian spirituality.
We discuss Swedenborg’s life and legacy, the idea of spiritual awakening as universally accessible, and how our parts—when burdened—can block access to divine inflow. The authors share how Swedenborg’s theology aligns with the IFS model, especially around the belief that healing comes from within, through dialogue, compassion, and connection to something greater.
This episode is a heartfelt, curious, and spiritually charged invitation to see your inner world not as a problem to fix—but as a sacred system ready to be witnessed, healed, and loved.

What if your insomnia isn't a problem to fix, but a part of you that needs your attention?
In this insightful and compassionate conversation, I’m joined by somatic IFS and leadership coach Katie LaCelle to explore the deep connection between sleeplessness and our inner system. Katie shares her personal journey with chronic insomnia and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offered a radically different way of relating to wakefulness—one that invites curiosity, compassion, and presence.
Together, we explore how insomnia can be understood through the lens of parts work, what happens when protector parts activate at night, and why asking “Who’s awake?” might be more helpful than trying to fall back asleep. Katie also offers grounded techniques and nervous system tools to support better sleep—not by overriding parts, but by listening to them.
Whether you struggle with occasional restlessness or chronic insomnia, this episode offers powerful insights into how we can meet our sleepless parts with kindness—and finally begin to rest.
_____________________________
We Explore:
🌙 Katie’s personal experience with insomnia and burnout
🧠 The “Just Ask” principle in IFS: Who’s awake? What do you need?
🔦 Why certain protector parts become active at night
🌀 A theory on nightmares and sleep as a consent violation for some parts
⚖️ Common polarizations around sleep (e.g., “I need to sleep” vs. “I need to stay alert”)
🧘 Techniques for grounding before sleep and during the day
🧩 How to be with insomnia parts instead of battling them
🌿 The power of observing and noticing what’s there—without trying to change it

What happens when a couple says “yes” to deep healing together—guided by MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and parts work?
In this soulful and honest conversation, I’m joined by Steph and Craig, co-hosts of The Steph & Craig Show, to explore their transformative journeys with MDMA-assisted therapy through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, we talk about what it’s like to prepare for these powerful sessions, working with the parts that hold fear or doubt, and what can unfold when you surrender to the healing process.
Steph and Craig open up about their unique experiences—both as individuals and as a couple. Craig describes a peaceful, heart-opening session, while Steph shares a more challenging journey that offered deep insight and emotional release. We also discuss the phenomenon of “redo” experiences—moments when the body and psyche reprocess past events in a new, healing way.
Whether you're curious about MDMA therapy, IFS, or simply how couples can grow together through conscious exploration, this episode offers powerful takeaways about trust, safety, and self-discovery.

Topics We Discuss:
- The preparation process for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy
- Working with parts that feel fear, resistance, or uncertainty
- Steph and Craig’s individual MDMA journeys—peaceful vs. intense
- “Redo” experiences that can arise in altered states of healing

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my brother, Sam Deering, to explore the layered journey of identity—how it forms, evolves, fractures, and heals over a lifetime.
Sam shares openly about his search for belonging through many identities. We dive into big questions like Who am I? and Where do I belong?, weaving in the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand how parts of ourselves are shaped by survival, societal pressures, and the deep human need for connection.
_________________________
We explore:
- What identity really means, and why it matters
- How society pressures us to exile parts of who we are
- The desperate human need for belonging and connection
- Sam’s identity journey
- How anger became a tool for survival and expression as a man
- Lessons the military taught him about values, boundaries, and self-trust
- Using creativity and boundaries to channel identity healthily
- How Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy sheds light on identity fragmentation and healing
- The power of acceptance, kindness, and making space for mistakes
- Why diversifying your identity is essential for resilience and wholeness
Sam speaks with honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom about how belonging isn't something we find "out there"—it's something we reclaim inside ourselves, one part at a time.

What happens when you’ve had two open-heart surgeries before the age of 40, and you’re still fighting the healthcare system—every single day?
In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Jacob Kendall, healthcare advocate and metagerontologist, to talk about what it means to advocate like hell—for yourself, your loved ones, and the millions of people navigating chronic illness and a broken healthcare system.

Longing and heartache—two deeply human experiences that touch us all. In this conversation with Susan Poznyansky, LICSW (they/them), founder of Heart of Caldera (HOC), we explore the tender terrain of what it means to long, ache, and hold space for the parts of us that carry these emotions.
Susan and I share a love for lakes—their stillness, their depth—and reflect on the parts of us that feel more cautious around the vastness of the ocean. From this imagery, we dive into the three major themes of longing and heartache:
🌿 Longing for connection – the deep yearning to be seen and held.
🌿 Longing for choices not made – the what-ifs, the parallel paths that remain unexplored.
🌿 Grief for what we have had but no longer hold – the ache of change, transition, and loss.
Throughout our conversation, we bring an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens to longing and heartache, exploring:
🌀 The parts of us connected to longing—how they show up and what they need.
🌀 Polarizations within our system—how internal conflicts influence the way we experience longing and heartache.
🌀 Ways to be with longing rather than trying to fix, numb, or push it away.
This episode is an invitation to sit with your longing, honor your heartache, and listen to the wisdom within both. Whether you resonate with deep-seated yearning, nostalgia, or grief, you are not alone in these experiences.

In this episode, I sit down with my long-time mentor and friend, Jessica Lichaa, a fascia and nervous system specialist, to explore the profound connection between fascia, stored energy, and nervous system regulation.
We dive into the body’s role in healing, the impact of tension and unresolved energy, and how awakening the fascia can discharge stored trauma and restore balance. Jessica explains the difference between top-down vs. bottom-up processing, the significance of ventral vs. dorsal relaxation, and how we can work with fascia to shift from dysregulation to deep nervous system healing.
To close the episode, Jessica guides us through a fascial awakening exercise designed to bring clarity, aliveness, and ventral relaxation, so you can experience this work firsthand.
Whether you’re curious about somatic healing, looking for practical tools to regulate your nervous system, or just want to understand why fascia holds the key to transformation, this episode is packed with insights and embodiment practices you won’t want to miss!
Topics Discussed:* What is the body, really? * How tension impacts the body and nervous system * Fascia and its role in nervous system regulation * The importance of fascial discharging and fascial awakening * Top-down vs. bottom-up processing in healing * How to invite fascial awakening & discharge into your practice * Dorsal relaxation vs. ventral relaxation (and why it matters) * Guided fascial awakening exercises for clarity, aliveness, and deep relaxation

Through her Fascia Awakening method, she bridges fascia intelligence, nervous system regulation, and consciousness to support deep healing and transformation.

What if creativity could become one of your most powerful tools for self-discovery and healing? In this episode, I sit down with Lynn Motley, a licensed mental health therapist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, to explore the powerful intersection of Soul Collage® and parts work. We dive into how Soul Collage® serves as a creative and intuitive practice to externalize and connect with different parts of ourselves, fostering self-discovery, healing, and integration.
Lynn shares the “hints” (not rules!) of Soul Collage®, how to use it to represent polarized parts, and how to dialogue with your cards for deeper insight. We also discuss how the suits of Soul Collage® parallel aspects of IFS, and how intuitive and directive card-making can support emotional and spiritual growth.
Whether you're new to Soul Collage® or a seasoned creator, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration that will leave you eager to pick up scissors, glue, and images to start your own healing journey.

Do you find yourself constantly striving, doing, and achieving—only to feel exhausted, unfulfilled, or out of alignment? In this deeply relatable and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with therapist and life coach Allyson Blythe to explore the "Accomplisher" part within us—a part I personally relate to and deeply share in.
Together, we unpack the cultural and personal forces that drive us to wear busyness as a badge of honor, seek worth through achievement, and fall into the traps of perfectionism, performing, and pleasing—the "Dishonoring P’s" that Allyson so brilliantly identifies.
We delve into how fear often fuels the accomplisher, leading to burnout, illness, and imbalance, and how our culture praises these tendencies, further reinforcing unhealthy patterns. But this isn’t just about pointing out the challenges; it’s about finding the beauty and value in the accomplisher part while learning how to bring it into balance.
Through self-awareness, reflection, and intentional practices, Allyson offers tools to reconnect with your core values, realign with your flow, and honor the accomplisher within without letting it take over. This conversation isn’t just insightful—it’s a lifeline for those of us who feel like we’re doing it all but missing something deeper.
___________________________
Topics Discussed:
- The "Accomplisher" part: its value and its pitfalls
- Aligning with how we’re doing, not just what we’re doing
- The cultural obsession with busyness as a badge of honor
- Legacy burdens of accomplishing and seeking worth through achievement
- Fear as the driving force behind over-accomplishing and its toll on mental and physical health
- Allyson’s "Dishonoring P’s": perfectionism, performing, and pleasing
- The importance of self-awareness in finding balance and reclaiming flow
- Practical strategies to reflect on and connect with your accomplisher part.

In this powerful and enlightening episode, I sit down with Natalie Hoffman, author of All the Scary Little Gods, to discuss her journey of deconstructing from emotional and spiritual abuse, and helping others do the same.

We also explore the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, including empathetic witnessing, solo parts work, and how to use these tools for healing, emotional intelligence, and reclaiming your spirituality.

From wild college nights to the reflective moments in our 20s and 30s, we explore the evolution of our relationship with drinking and the profound impact it has had on our lives.
Together, we delve into the health challenges that pushed us to reexamine our choices, the sometimes surprising reactions from others, and the internal conflicts we’ve faced along the way. We share candid stories about navigating weddings, reunions, and social gatherings without alcohol and the clarity that comes from asking the questions, "Why am I drinking?" and "What is it adding to my life?"
We also celebrate the joys of the sober curious lifestyle, including our favorite mocktail brands and non-alcoholic beverages like Curious Elixirs, Topo Chico, Athletic Brewing, Bero, and more. Whether you're exploring a sober curious path or just seeking inspiration, this episode invites you to get curious and embrace the possibilities of life beyond alcohol.
Important Note:
If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol use, please seek support from a mental health professional or contact your nearest Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) group. There are resources and communities ready to help you on your journey to wellness. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

In this illuminating episode, I'm joined by Tammy Waldron, founder of Towanda Wellbeing and a seasoned Advanced ThetaHealing® Teacher and Practitioner, to explore the transformative power of intuition in healing. Tammy shares her profound insights on connecting to Source energy (Self/Higher Self energy) and how intuitive abilities—often expressed through the "claires" (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.)—can deepen our healing journeys.
We discuss how parts in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can sometimes block intuition, and Tammy provides practical strategies for unblending from these parts to reconnect with intuitive wisdom. Learn how to strengthen your intuition through daily practices, discernment, and muscle testing to bridge the subconscious and the body. Tammy and I also reveal ways to integrate intuition into IFS work, creating stronger connections to yourself and others while preventing burnout through intentional intuition practices.
This episode culminates in a special guided meditation led by Tammy to help you tap into your own intuitive abilities and connect with your higher Self. Whether you’re an IFS practitioner, someone curious about ThetaHealing®, or seeking new ways to deepen your personal healing journey, this episode is filled with actionable insights and inspiration.

In today's episode I am joined by licensed clinical social worker Chris Hancock as we discuss his gift of clairsentience and how he utilizes this gift to work with clients using MDLT and IFS.
Topics Discussed Include:

Ask, Believe, Receive
Chris is an experienced, integrative, holistic and transpersonal licensed clinical social worker, ACISTE certified mental health professional, IFS obsessive enthusiast with a twist of his own, and developer of a unique form of embodied relational mysticism he calls Multidimensional Divine Light Transmission. While Chris’ formal psychotherapy training was more conventional than not, his interest in all things broadly metaphysical dates back to high school. And while the first decade and a half of his clinical career was more conventional, that all came crashing down in dramatic fashion around 2018 with the culmination of an insidious professional burnout meets dark night of the soul spiritual emergency, resulting in a long-time coming rebirthing of his therapeutic identity and purpose. Tune in to hear more!

Robert Falconer is best known for his deep involvement with Internal Family Systems therapy as a practitioner, teacher, and writer. For much of his long career he has focused on the healing of childhood sexual abuse and other major trauma. He now is focused on placing IFS in a multicultural and historical context and working with the others within us - what we find in our minds that is not part of our systems, called unattached burdens and guides in IFS. Bob has come to recognize and appreciate that how we conceive of ourselves and the boundaries of our minds is vitally important not only as a major cause of personal suffering but also as an underlying factor in many of our modern social problems. His new book, The Others Within Us, gives a clear description of how to work with unattached burdens and guides, as it explores the farther reaches and wider implications of this subject.

This December, I want to feature some of my favorite interviews from this year. The final fourth episode I'm re-releasing is my conversation with IFS inventor Dr. Richard (Dick) Schwartz!
It was such an honor and a privilege to be able to sit with Dick and interview him about IFS for this episode. Dr. Richard Schwartz, or Dick as he likes to be called, invented internal family systems therapy over 40 years ago.
In this episode he dives into the history of IFS and how it came to be and the challenges he faced when brining it into the world of psychology. He discusses what is IFS, parts, and Self. He also discusses even further in this episode about the Self. Dick answers questions such as, what is Self? Are we born with Self energy? How is our system impacted by trauma in childhood? Does Self energy grow as we get older? What happens to Self during a traumatic event? Can we see Self? and, what are Self-like parts? Dick also shares what he does on a daily basis to connect with his parts in order to make IFS a life practice. Enjoy!

This December, I want to feature some of my favorite interviews from this year. The second episode I'm re-releasing is my conversation with Robert (Bob) Falconer about his book, "The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession".
Bob is an IFS practitioner, teacher, and writer. For the major part of his career he worked with trauma survivors, now focusing on the study and treatment of the others within us, also known as unattached burdens, or UB's for short. We discuss his ten years of work that went into his new book, the history of unattached burdens within his career, case studies that impacted his understanding about UB's, the controversy surrounding UB's, and the seven steps on how to address UB's within someone's system.
This episode was a big deal for me to be able to sit with Bob and have this discussion, and I am honored that Bob will be joining me again on the podcast in 2024 to discuss spirit guides and past lives. Stay tuned!
Enjoy!
