In this impromptu consultation with Monica Cavalcante, I answer her questions about incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) into therapeutic practice. We explore essential topics, including how to introduce IFS to clients, the nuances of self and self-energy, and navigating clients' intuitive responses during sessions. 

If you’re a therapist curious about integrating IFS into your work, this episode is filled with insights and practical tips to enhance your practice. For those who are not therapists but are interested in understanding more about IFS and its transformative potential for self-exploration and healing, this episode offers valuable insights that can enhance your healing journey.

Key Takeaways:

1. Personalized Understanding of Self-Energy: Encourage clients to define their concept of self and self-energy in ways that resonate with their beliefs and experiences, fostering a deeper connection to their healing journey.
2. Honoring Intuition in Therapy: Be mindful of the client's intuition throughout the therapeutic process, ensuring that they feel safe and empowered to voice any discomfort with the IFS approach.
3. Therapist's Role: Acknowledge the inherent power dynamics in therapy, and strive to foster an environment where clients feel free to express their needs and boundaries.
