Join host Jennifer Nurick, a clinical psychotherapist, as she delves into the topic of dissociation from the perspective of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This episode of Psychotherapy Central offers a deep dive into how dissociation can be understood and approached using the IFS model, providing valuable insights for therapists, clients, and anyone interested in the dynamics of psychological healing.

In this episode we cover the following:

Understanding Dissociation: Gain a foundational understanding of dissociation, including its symptoms and triggers, and why it occurs as a psychological defense mechanism.
Introduction to IFS: Learn about the Internal Family Systems therapy model, its core concepts, and how it differentiates between various parts within an individual.
Dissociation in IFS: Explore how dissociation is viewed within the IFS framework, focusing on the roles of protective parts and exiled parts in the dissociative process.
Healing Strategies: Discover the steps involved in healing dissociation using IFS, including building trust within the internal system, negotiating with protective parts, and helping exiled parts to unburden.
Practical Example: A case study illustrating the application of IFS in treating dissociative episodes, showing the therapeutic journey and the gradual integration of parts.

Featured Concepts:

The Self: The core of IFS therapy, representing the compassionate, curious, calm, and connected leader within. You can hear more about the ‘Self’ in IFS in Ep 7 - The Central Role of the “Self’ in IFS Therapy.
Managers and Firefighters: Protective parts in IFS that manage everyday functioning and respond to immediate threats, respectively. Ep. 8 Exiles, Managers and Firefighters in IFS Therapy.
Exiles: Parts that carry traumatic memories or intense emotions, often leading to dissociation when activated. Ep. 8 Exiles, Managers and Firefighters in IFS Therapy.

This episode is particularly beneficial for those working in mental health, those experiencing dissociative symptoms, and anyone looking to understand more about innovative approaches to psychotherapy.
