In this episode, I chat with Caitlan Siegenthaler, a Level 2 IFS licensed therapist and podcast host who specializes in IFS and Human Design. What I love about Caitlan's work is how she treats both frameworks as paths home to Self.
She shares how Human Design entered her life and how she integrates it with IFS to help clients befriend their parts. She recently led a Human Design reading session with Dick Schwartz, founder of IFS.
In this conversation, we explore:
-
How IFS and Human Design work together to help us return to our authentic Self
-
How understanding your Human Design chart can help you connect with your internal system in a whole new way
-
The five Human Design energy types and what they can teach us about our systems
-
How Human Design mirrors IFS as a spiral — a way of returning, again and again, to Self
-
Why curiosity matters more than mastery when exploring new systems
We also recorded an extended interview with Caitlan for our paid Substack community about supervision and consultation — why it matters, how to find it, and how it helps therapists bring more of themselves into the room.
You can connecct with Caitlan at caitlansiegenthaler.com, listen to her Return podcast, and check out her free five-episode series on navigating indecision using Human Design and IFS.
