The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcast

On today's podcast I talk with Martha Sweezy. Martha has authored all the IFS books with all the IFS people. Her latest solo book project is entitled, "Internal Family Systems for Shame and Guilt." Martha says, "Understanding shame and guilt in the context of psychic multiplicity is to understand how trauma becomes traumatic over time and how an external insult becomes an internal identity and process." I took notes.  I think you may want to also. Check out all the things Martha Sweezy here: Martha Sweezy, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor, Harvard University Medical School and IFS Therapist in Northampton, Massachusetts *She comments on several of her upcoming book projects with various people in the IFS community.

On today's podcast I chat with Brian Jaudon, an IFS-trained coach who works with a wide range of clients from executives and entrepreneurs to shamans and creatives. Brian has led two highly successful IFS and Coaching courses and has been around the IFS world for a long time. We chatted a few times offline when I started the podcast a few years ago so I love that he is the last guest for season 3. We have a sweet conversation- the best kind I think for the podcast- it has a lot of interesting information about IFS, Gift Development, asking good questions, Contracting, working with Parts. But the best part is the authentic connection and the conversation that flows so naturally from that. I'm so grateful to him and to all the guests and listeners who make this so fun and rewarding.  For more information check out: Landing Page | Pisgah Coaching ---- To connect with me, follow me @ifstammy on Instagram and Twitter or on The One Inside Facebook Page.

Then we give space to experience the ripple that comes from it. We chatted afterwards about ALL the things and he did this for me- he asked the right question, in the right moment and let silence sit for a minute. The question and the curiosity I have about it continues to ripple. I'll see you in the fall for season 4.... Enjoy.
