Queering Internal Family Systems (IFS) Episode 3 - Queering IFS - IFS and Pronouns - Why They Matter Inside and Out!
Join Alessio and Jude this week as they talk about pronouns. Something they are both passionate about in supporting clients to have an inclusive and affirmative experience in their therapy. Not just the importance of checking out and using the client's pronouns, but also doing this with their parts.
Jude (she/they) and Alessio (he/they) talk about their pronoun journeys, and that of their parts as well as their work with clients and consultees/supervisees.
Alessio and Jude talk about the importance of asking, and not assuming gender or pronouns in a system, regardless of the client's gender and pronouns.
Alessio is a Certified IFS psychotherapist, IFS Assistant Trainer (AT) with the IFS institute, and Approved Clinical Consultant (ACC).
Jude is a Certified IFS psychotherapist and an Approved Clinical Consultant (ACC) with the IFS Institute.
