Empowered Through Compassion

Five Podcasters got together, and had a blast speaking about IFS (live)! They all have their own podcast-- including, The One Inside, Growing Faithfully, That Wellness Podcast, Healing Trauma From the Inside Out, and Empowered Through Compassion. What a beautiful group of podcasts. It was such a wonderful get together and share some "Self-energy" with each other and with the audience. I thought it would be fun to share all of this with you!

I am so excited to share this incredible discussion with you. Rotem Brayer has created a community for EMDR practitioners, and we dive into some of his thoughts about EMDR, mindfulness and even IFS. He has so much to share, and I am thrilled to bring you this episode.

Let dive into how we can understand OCD from an IFS lens. In this Part 2, Rob Fox and I continue to explore how we both use IFS and EMDR (and other modalities) to understand the allusive experience of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. 

Welcome to this episode where I speak with Rob Fox, who I am very excited to bring to this audience.  Rob is certified in EMDR and IFS. In addition to having a lot of skills and knowledge on working with addictions, Rob also is a specialist when it comes to Obsessive-Compuslive Disorder (OCD).  The focus in this two part conversation is how Rob works with OCD, and conceptualizes this disorder. He shares some of his personal experiences as well. it was a pleasure speaking with Rob!

It was such a pleasure speaking with Cindy Jones! This is the first part. We speak about her creation of Bi-Tapp which is a way to help clients regulate their emotions both in and out of the therapy office.  Bi-Tapp is a way to help ourselves feel calmer, particularly when we are very activated. This could help us calm our bodies enough to be able to access some of the other skills that we have.  Of course, we also speak about how this BLS tool is helpful in EMDR and IFS. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope it is very helpful for you as well!
