Tuesdays at 12pm PT - Going Inside Live. My weekly session on YouTube. Bring your clinical questions about IFS and more. Next session: Tuesday, August 4th

Ongoing - Pathways to Self. Weekly live consultation group for clinicians. Small, intimate, real cases only.

On-demand - From Burnout to Balance. Free IFS training for therapists ready to fall back in love with the work, and help clients heal deeper while you're at it.

Ongoing - 1:1 Consultation. Email [email protected] to inquire.

Free 15-minute consultation - Calm Again Counseling. If you're in California and looking for trauma-informed therapy (online or in-person in San Francisco) this is where that starts.

Consent isn't a one-time checkbox. It's three layers deep.

Parts, Self, Firefighters, exiles, unburdening. It's easy to get lost in the terminology and forget what any of it is actually for.

Here's the model, distilled:
You're just trying to increase understanding and compassion inside a person's system. That's it.

When that happens, the internal team gets more peaceful and cohesive. Self is more solidly in the lead. And the outside starts to reflect that.

Fewer symptoms and more steadiness. More ease.

All the language, all the frameworks; they're just tools to get there.

Want to see how this actually plays out with real cases?

Join me live at the next Going Inside, the 28th. Link in comments.

Triggers are not emergencies - they're requests.

Every strong reaction you have, in a session or outside of one, is coming from somewhere. It's not random and it's not a flaw. It's a part of you that's been carrying something, perhaps some old tenderness. And it's asking to be noticed.

That doesn't mean you act on it. It means you get curious about it instead of just reacting to it or trying to push it away.

This is the kind of thing we work through live, with actual cases among other clinicians, each week in Pathways to Self. Details below.

Ever get triggered in session and can't tell if it's your stuff or theirs?

There's a simple tell which I break down here.

Have questions like these about IFS or your clinical work?

Submit them below or come live to the next Going Inside Live on the 28th.

IFS has a lot of moving parts (pun intended).

But if you had to boil the whole model down, this is it.

Come ask your own IFS or clinical questions live. Next Going Inside Q&A is Tuesday, July 21st, 12pm PT. 👇

Inside this episode:

▶️ The 4 stages every narcissistic relationship follows
▶️ Why "hoovering" pulls survivors back in, even after leaving

Therapists hold so much for others, but who holds us?

We start every Pathways to Self call with a different short weekly meditation.

To help you soften your system, be with what’s here, and come back to Self-energy.
