Partsy Girls: an IFS podcast

Today we're talking about Grief (we know, deep breath). The common thread that runs through us all, the thread that so many of us are scared to touch.  We hope that this episode serves as a love letter to the parts of you that have been holding grief alone. We hope they feel seen and heard. We hope that it may open your system up to consider new ways of being with your own grief and the grief...

Hey you. We're glad you're here.  No matter how the Presidential election results impacted your system, we imagine it brought parts to the surface for you just like it did for us. We hope you can use today's episode to start to be curious about which of your parts may have been working in overdrive the past few days (weeks, months), and maybe even find a pathway to be with them. Whe...

Like we never left! After a little summer hiatus, we're ready to jump back in to all things IFS with you. In today's episode we'll share a little about what we've been doing this summer, including our experiences being on staff at IFS level 1 trainings.  We share a little about our learnings from being program assistants, some trailheads that came up for us, and some quick key...

And just like that, we're back! We're so excited to bring you a jam-packed episode after our brief pause. In this episode, we use our own experiences of feeling disconnected to explore what disconnection even means through an IFS lens. What leads us to freeze? What are the warning signs in our system? And most importantly, how do we reconnect? Follow along as we share the ways our system...

So many reasons to celebrate on today's episode. We're digging deeper into polarizations,  we have our very first guest (yay!), and our girl Gypsy Rose is finally free y'all.  Building from last week, we're bringing another episode around polarized parts. Natalie's super generous friend Haley joins us to talk pop culture and let's us do a live session! Grace guides Ha...

A part of me wants to learn more about polarizations, but another part kind of can't be bothered... (lol). Welcome to our polarizations episode! Here's a little insight into working with polarized parts; why they show up, what it might sound like, and how you can start to name them. Listen along as Natalie role plays a client with lots of parts coming up to hear how Grace starts to map a...

As promised (drum roll please), a guided meditation to unblend and access more self-energy! In this 18 minute internal exploration, Grace will help guide you through working with your system, and hopefully give you access to more grounding and calm.  This could be used to start your day, to settle before bed at night, before a day at work, or any time you notice feeling activated.  Just in time fo...

Bringing some FUN to episode we start with a game of Would You Rather: Therapist Edition. Play along with us and let us know what you'd rather!  How much anxiety, fear, dread, excitement, or mixed emotions do you have around the holidays? Whether it's about seeing/not seeing family, finances, food/body stuff, or so many other potential triggers, you're not alone. The holiday season...

Episode 8 is here! Ever wonder how the heck an IFS therapist knows what to ask next? Us too! Episode 8 takes you through the beautiful map of working with parts; the 6 F's. We share the basics of the purpose of each F, how and when to use it, and what it might sound like in a session. If you're here for the gabs, be sure to listen out for thanksgiving murder weapons and why we're no...

Live session alert! Kind of. This episode shows some IFSIRT (IFS in real time) as Natalie maps Grace's system and works with some of her protectors.

Ever wanted to jump into the mind of a surgical intern? Not a real one of course! This episode we do a general overview of all the different categories of IFS, and use a beloved Greys Anatomy bad boy to map a full system. We'll highlight which protectors show up, which exiles we imagine them to be protecting, and explore what it would be like if this character had an IFS therapist and could a...

This episode is all about SELF! What in the world is self ? I hear you ask. One of the most significant components of working with your inner system is being able to identify, notice, and access self energy. Intrigued? Episode 4 jumps into all this and more. Not to mention our cute little discussions about Dr. Phil as a trauma response, reality TV star debates, and some teasers of what's to c...

Episode 4 dives into the wonderful world of exiles! Also referred to as an inner child, younger version of you, or a child-like ego state, we take you through these vulnerable parts from an IFS lens. Now's the time to dig deep friends! We also share some good book reccs, how Ronald Weasley avoids responsibility, and give a shoutout to our IFS 857 training group who showed us so much love when...
