On today's episode I chat with Certified IFS Therapist Joanne Twombly. This episode, which premiered in Season 3, is one of the most popular and most downloaded of the entire series.

We discuss:

• Why we still need coping skills
• The "Fire Drill" exercise to quickly unblend from parts
• Integrating IFS into Phase Oriented Treatment
• Why diagnosis is helpful - Burdens (and Self!) in Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles
• Safe spaces - Hypnosis and trance states

TW: We discuss trauma in this episode. There is discussion about 49 minutes into the episode that may be upsetting to some.

On today's episode I chat with Chris Burris, a lead trainer with the IFS Institute.

Grab your notebook and pen and plan to hit the pause button because this epi is jammed packed.

Here is a little taste of what is inside:

- therapist burn out

- working with inner critics

- the critic, shame, and firefighter cycle

- attachment wounds, object constancy, and attempts to complete unfinished business from our past

- befriending our parts helps them feel seen, heard and valued

- parts are fluid, not static

It is so good. Enjoy!

• Bringing more awareness to exiled parts of ourselves and considering what therapists and practiioners leave at the "office door"
• The challenges of action-oriented responses to climate anxiety and the need for holistic, systemic solutions are examined
• Steffi invites listeners to get involved by having uncomfortable climate conversations and experimenting with new approaches

EVERYONE is talking about the new movie Inside Out 2 and we wanted to share our take, too! I'm joined by fellow podcaster and IFS therapist, David Polidi, to study the movie from an IFS perspective, name our favorite parts (no pun!), and debate which characters and elements represent Self.
