An Interview with Nancy Sowell
Released: June 7, 2016 An Interview with Nancy Sowell This week’s podcast is an interview with Nancy Sowell, an Internal Family Therapist (IFS) lead trainer and clinician who worked with Dr. Nancy Shadick, a rheumatologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, to create an IFS intervention program for rheumatoid arthritis patients to be studied in a randomized controlled trial.

Relax, It’s Normal to Be of Many Minds!
The nature of being “taken over
by a part” of yourself means just that. You lose your bigger
perspective and you now have a single-minded dictator running your
inner system and consequently your life.
Each part means well and thinks
it knows what’s best for helping you feel better either in this
moment or in the long term.
So without your inner wisdom and
Self intervention it will run full speed ahead.
