How Internal Family Systems Theory Changed My Practice

Episode 93. For this episode I recruited the wonderful Dr. Sapna Doshi back to interview me about my experiences in the past several months of immersing myself in the world of Internal Family Systems Theory. I've been learning IFS and beginning to apply it with several of my clients and have been seeing great results. It's also something I've been applying and to myself. Working with my parts (as IFS calls them) has been incredibly transformative for me. So in this two-part series, I will first share how Internal Family Systems has changed my 1 on 1 clinical practice, and in part 2 I will share how it has changed things for me personally and in my professional practice. What to Expect in This Episode In this episode I will answer: What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) and why should you care about it? How did I learn about it? How has it influenced my 1 on 1 practice? What are some of the biggest shifts I've seen? How can IFS merge (or not) with other forms of psychotherapy? Are a therapist, dietitian or helping professional who works individuals struggling with disordered eating? Are you unsure of the best ways to help clients who say "I really like intuitive eating and what we are doing, but ultimately I really want to lose weight." You empathize. You tell them the science about dieting. But ultimately, that desire for weight loss keeps coming up and often interfering with their focus in treatment. How can you help them explore what is right for them without imposing you own agenda? I created this free step-by-step guide to walk you thought my #1 favorite exercise (based on Internal Family Systems theory) to help clients navigate this nuanced dynamic with parts of them that still want to lose weight. As a professional, it's my favorite way to help clients build self-trust, while also taking some of the pressure off of you to know the exact right advice to say or give. Total win-win.
