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

On today's episode I chat with Anna Vincentz, a Level 3 IFS therapist who resides in Denmark. We talk about: 1. Attachment: the nervous system and inner and outer coregulation with parents, children, partners, clients and therapists 2. New Danish Parenting: Children always make sense, Relationships matter most, and conscious parenting. Anna says- Parts don't want to settle for unconditional love and attachment from Self. When they actually get connection from Self they realize it is not settling at all. And- We don't need to lean in to our partners from our young parts. Our parts need to lean in to Self and then our Self can lean out into our partners. ---- Check out Anna's podcast and articles here: IFS therapy — IFS & Familieterapeut Anna Vincentz MPF ---- If you like this episode subscribe, like, comment, share with a friend- all the things.

On today's episode I chat with Payam, a Psychedelic Somatic Internal Family Systems Practitioner who interfaces with various traditional and non-traditional psychedelic compounds in the treatment of trauma and chronic pain.  He collaborates internationally with world-renowned doctors and therapists in the treatment of an underserved population. Additionally, he has presented his work at numerous medical conferences reporting on the nature of pain through the unitary Mind-Body paradigm while also demonstrating how to alleviate pain at the intersection of traditional shamanic psychedelic medicines and Western evidence-based practices.  His work factors in the biopsychosocial and spiritual elements of healing. By acknowledging and addressing the totality of the human experience, he has seen firsthand how it can have a dramatic effect on mitigating the patient’s affective experience of pain.  --- Check out Payam's website here: PAYAM and follow him on Instagram @payam_healing. ---- To connect with me, follow me @ifstammy on Instagram and Twitter or on The One Inside Facebook Page.

On today's podcast I chat with Suzan McVicker and Julia Sullivan. They are part of the Indigenous Elder IFS Council who spoke at the 2021 IFS Annual Conference.   Here is their entire workshop on Youtube! (Thank you Sara Oberg!): The Spirit of the Circle: Indigenous Worldview IFS Resonance - YouTube   ----- Suzan McVicker became an IFS trainer in 1999 when two year basic IFS trainings--as they were called them back then--were first offered.  After joining several IFS training teams and teaching IFS in higher education, local seminars, community classes, and case consultation groups, she turned her attention to collaborating with Native American communities for mutual sharing of what IFS has to offer to Indigenous Peoples and what Indigenous traditions have to offer to the IFS community.   Julia Sullivan is a Level 2 trained IFS practitioner (and PA "groupie" for Mary Kruger) who integrates Self leadership and Parts healing into everything she does. Drawing upon her spiritual practice in an indigenous community, 25-years in recovery, and an MBA from Stanford, Julia Co-founded the Indigenous Elder IFS Council to bring peer-based IFS healing that is easily accessible to anyone. Julia also leads the IFS in Business group that meets monthly over Zoom to share best practices in bringing IFS to business. Julia and her Level 1 trained husband Chris take daily walks around a beautiful lake where they deepen their love by speaking for their Parts and Self while basking in the beauty around, between, and within them.    -------- 7 Bs of Indigenous-Inspired IFS: Blessing Right to Be, Belong, Become HumBle Belly Laugh EmBodied Learning Balance Ceremony as UnBurdening Dick's writing about Indigenous cultures and IFS: …it is becoming increasingly clear that the idea of the mind as unitary is a relatively recent invention of “civilized” society.  Indigenous cultures throughout the world were familiar and comfortable not only with a spirit world, but also with an inner realm inhabited by many different voices and characters.  It may be that the idea of the normal mind as multiple is less a radical departure from established knowledge than it is returning to an age-old wisdom from which “established knowledge” radically departed.  (Schwartz, 2001, p. 85)  Schwartz, R.
