Group therapy offers a unique healing experience that individual work alone cannot replicate. In this episode, I sit down with therapist and group work specialist Carrie Haynes, LPC, to explore the profound impact of Internal Family Systems (IFS) in group settings. We discuss how group dynamics naturally foster self-energy, how witnessing others' healing creates internal shifts, and why self-leadership in a group setting is a transformative practice. Carrie shares insights from her journey integrating psychodynamic therapy, spirituality, embodiment work, and IFS into group facilitation—helping both therapists and clients unlock deeper healing.

🌿 Key takeaways:

1. Witnessing others' IFS work naturally activates our own healing process and strengthens self-energy.
2. Group therapy fosters belonging, connection, and healing in a way that individual therapy often cannot.
3. Great group facilitators balance structure with openness, allowing transformation to unfold naturally.
