Squid Game Fixed Audio

Here is my second upload for this episode. My AI attempts were not successful, so I edited this one myself. Sorry for any confusion.   It was such a pleasure to speak with Victoria Anderson, a friend and classmate from IFS-Level one training. We speak about our experience, and then we compare it to... yep, the Squid Game. Luckily our experience was nothing like the Squid Game, except for some nerves when we started the class.  We speak about some of the parts (that we are constructing) inside some of the fictional characters of Squid Game. If you want to find out more about Victoria, please check out her website at: https://www.centeredselftraumatherapy.com/   Warmly, David

This healer turned to Sandra and said, "Why come see me? You are Songoma too!" We dive into EMDR, and Sandra even shares some of her thoughts on IFS therapy. Sandra shared how she definitely uses parts work, but sees this through the lens of Ego States. We speak about some of Sandra's amazing books, which include: "When There Are No Words: Repairing Early Trauma and Neglect From the Attachment Period With EMDR Therapy" "Looking Through The Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation: An Illustrated Guide for EMDR Therapists and Clients" "The Beauty and Burden of Autism: Illustrated Guide and Workbook in Color" "Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation: Towards an Embodied Self" "Indigenous Trauma and Dissociation: Healers, Psychotherapies and the Drum" Of course, we also speak about the incredible cartoons and art of Sandra that are throughout her informative and beautiful books!

Election, Social Activism, IFS/EMDR with Nkem Ndefo

What an honor to speak with Nkem Ndefo today!  I wanted to post this right away, because we are speaking about the election, and Nkem was very helpful in helping me take a step back and see a bigger picture of the election. I found it very profound when Nkem spoke about their vision for liberation of all. Their organization's vision is: "rooted in justice and flourishing in joy."  We spoke about the important question we can ask ourselves "where is my political home?" As we spoke about politics and healing, our conversation turned to how we all play roles (or could have a role) in social change. Here was a beautiful intersection with IFS! Nkem spoke about some of the ways that they have helped facilitate change on large scales within hospitals, and also schools!  To find out more about Nkem, you can go to: www.lumostransforms.com I hope this episode can bring you a little peace and hope.
