S5 Ep 145IFS and Embodying IFS with Black Clients with Fatimah FInney
On today's episode I chat with Fatimah Finney who wrote a chapter in the Altogether Us book entitled, "Embodying IFS with Black Clients." Listening to this epsiode this week could not be more timely as the last thing we talk about is Collective Healing. Fatimah says, "My liberation is your liberation.. what is happening across the globe impacts us." Fatimah is a licensed mental health counselor, skilled DEI consultant and workshop facilitator. She enjoys existing as a Black Muslim Woman and apparently loves buying books she doesn't get to read. Her toddlers are her tormentors and daily doses of Self energy! We talk about: - Speak about race, it is already in the room - Recognizing dominance and power positions in txp - Importance of working with therapist's parts (always!) but NOT in session with your black client - Connection and Compassion can exist when there is not 'sameness', when there is a limit to my 'getting it' - Giving clients the floor to tell their own story - Importance of intentional community - Black Joy - Intercultural competence: how can we engage in differences in a connecting way - "Being with the beauty and the wonder of the person who is in front of me." - Knowing where your line of knowledge ends and begins - Leadership development- What is the point of your power? How do you get and recieve feedback? - Collective healing --- It is a really beautiful episode. --- To find out more about Fatimah go to Meet Fatimah — Fatimah Finney (healingdifferently.com) --- Purchase "Altogether Us" here: Altogether Us: Integrating the IFS Model with Key Modalities, Communities, and Trends: Riemersma, Jenna, Schwartz, Dr. Richard: 9781734958423: Amazon.com: Books Follow Tammy on Instagram @ifstammy here Tammy Sollenberger (@ifs.tammy) • Instagram photos and videos and on Facebook at The One Inside with Tammy Sollenberger here The One Inside: Internal Family Systems with Tammy Sollenberger | Facebook. ----- Are you new to IFS or want a simple way to get to know yourself?

S5 Ep 144IFS and Adoptees with Kathy Mackechney
On today's podcast I chat with Kathy Mackechney, who wrote a chapter in Altogether Us.

On today's podcast I chat with Brian Jaudon, an IFS-trained coach who works with a wide range of clients from executives and entrepreneurs to shamans and creatives. Brian has led two highly successful IFS and Coaching courses and has been around the IFS world for a long time. We chatted a few times offline when I started the podcast a few years ago so I love that he is the last guest for season 3. We have a sweet conversation- the best kind I think for the podcast- it has a lot of interesting information about IFS, Gift Development, asking good questions, Contracting, working with Parts. But the best part is the authentic connection and the conversation that flows so naturally from that. I'm so grateful to him and to all the guests and listeners who make this so fun and rewarding.

Then we give space to experience the ripple that comes from it. We chatted afterwards about ALL the things and he did this for me- he asked the right question, in the right moment and let silence sit for a minute. The question and the curiosity I have about it continues to ripple. I'll see you in the fall for season 4.... Enjoy.

S4 Ep 138IFS and All Genders Welcome with Sand Chang
On today's podcast I talk with Dr. Sand Chang who wrote a chapter in the upcoming Altogether Us book. Dr. Sand Chang is a Chinese American nonbinary psychologist, DEI consultant, certified IFS therapist, consultant, and trainer. Their work is centered on body liberation, particularly in the realms of trans health, eating disorders, and trauma recovery. We talk about: - Trans-affirming IFS (that's what the chapter in Jenna's book is about) - Teaching an IFS foundations course to queer and trans therapists and the importance of affinity trainings (with Nic Wildes) - Body liberation, eating disorders, de-pathologizing parts that use disordered eating to help someone to survive in a white supremacist, fatphobic, transphobic culture - Creating affirming spaces - knowing that each person's liberation is tied to others' liberations - The 9th "C" of Self energy being community/collectivism and how this plays out not just in the world but specifically in IFS training spaces. As an Assistant Trainer Mentee and someone who is moving toward being an IFSI trainer, these are things which Sand feels very passionate. They desire to create the spaces that don't always exist and have often harmed trans and queer folks.

S4 Ep 134IFS and Talking about Sex with Patricia Rich
On today's episode I chat with Patricia Rich. This is her 2nd appearance on the podcast. The first was entitled Self-Led Sexuality and that is what we talk about today- which involves a whole lot more then you may think. I appreciate Patty inviting us over and over again to check in with our parts as we talk, knowing we are covering sensitive topics. We also have a lot of laughter and distracted parts. My favorite thing Patty says is towards the end where she talks about the 6 S's of sexuality (which she covers in the first episode in detail). She asks us to consider what is between us and certain S words. I encourage you to consider this idea and be with all the parts who may come up as you listen. Patty is a Certified IFS Therapist and Approved Consultant and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor. She has developed a unique integrative model for helping people to feel more ease, joy and confidence in the realm of sexuality and has originated IFS-informed concepts such as Internal Consent and The Six S's of Sexual Self-Energy.

S4 Ep 133IFS and Healing with Psychedelics with Nancy Morgan
On today's podcast I talk with Dr. Nancy Morgan, Certified IFS Therapist. Nancy wrote the IFS and Psychedelic chapter in the new upcoming book, "Altogether Us" which will be released around August 2023. I spoke with Nancy on episode 47 when we focused her role as Director of LifeMoves Behavioral Health and Training Programs, a California agency dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness. Nancy introduced IFS into the training curriculum during the 2015-2016 year. Today, we have a much different discussion. You may be here because you love Nancy and want to know and hear how she is and what is going on with her as she was recently diagnosed with cancer. You may be here and you do not know Nancy personally or professionally, you want to know more about IFS or you want to know about psychedelics. Whatever reason brought you to this episode I am glad you are here, and I feel incredibly honored that Nancy shares her heart and story with us. The first half of this episode is heavier around the history of psychedelics and the integration with IFS. Nancy shares more of her story in the second half, although it is weaved throughout. I start recording as soon as I meet with each guest, and most of that beginning matter is edited out. I decided to leave our entire conversation just as it is. You can find out more about Nancy here: Internal Family Systems | The Guide Inside | Dr. Nancy L. Morgan (the-guide-inside.com) You can find the Go fund me link to support Nancy here: Fundraiser for Nancy Morgan by Michele Lucas : Nancy L.

S3 Ep 116IFS and Be, Belong, Become: How IFS resonates with the Indigenous Worldview with Suzan McVicker and Julia Sullivan
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.

S2 Ep 100IFS and No Bad Parts with Richard Schwartz
Here we are! - Together for the 100th episode with Dick Schwartz. Dick has always been supportive and kind to me- from meeting him when I came out of a consultation group and he was standing in a hallway alone, to an unfortunate situation at a conference. He has been open and available for this podcast, and I am so grateful. Dick has a new book out this week called "No Bad Parts," which we planned to talk about. And we do- a little bit. What happened during our chat was we just started catching up. Then this transitioned to us both sharing some things 'off the record.' And, of course, Dick does not want to just TALK about the model- he wants to do it. So he says to me, "We can do a little piece of work if you want ..." How could I not agree!? So, that is what a big piece of this episode is- a demo of the model. You get to hear Dick doing the model and you get to hear me working with my parts. My hope for you is that you are able to go down your own trailheads as you listen. My hope for you is you learn something about this model. My hope for you is you get to witness the founder of IFS facilitate a session. Here is a bit of an outline: - Checking in - Trailheads - Dick's 'obsessed with IFS' part - Demonstration of the Model (from about 15 minutes until about 40 minutes) - The book- No Bad Parts - Bigger Plans for IFS Check out the silly faces we made on my social media pages :) Connect with me on Instagram, Twitter and Clubhouse @ifs.tammy and on The One Inside Facebook page.

I wanted to talk to him about how he is doing and what is going on in his life. So! This is not just about trauma or his book. This is not about what is happening in the IFS world since Frank is an insider. This is not about Frank's workshops and IFS manuals and all those things. This episode - the 99th episode- is about authenticity. We talk about the book, of course. And, we talk about trauma. Mostly, we talk about family, love, and connection and their power to heal all of us. Frank says, "Love Heals What Trauma Blocks." ----- You can connect with Frank on Instagram @frank_andersonmd, Twitter @frankandersonmd, and Clubhouse @frankandersonmd.

S2 Ep 97IFS as a Spiritual Practice with Gabby Bernstein
On today's podcast I talk with New York Times Best Selling Author, Speaker and lover of IFS Gabby Bernstein. For over fifteen years, Gabby has been transforming lives—including her own. The #1 New York Times bestselling author has penned eight books including The Universe Has Your Back, Super Attractor and the latest, her first Audible Original, You Are the Guru. In her weekly podcast, Dear Gabby, she offers up real-time coaching, straight talk and conversations about personal growth and spirituality with unique and inspiring guests. What started as hosting intimate conversations with twenty people in her New York City apartment, Gabby has grown into speaking to tens-of-thousands in sold-out venues throughout the world. Gabby was featured on Oprah's SuperSoul Sunday as a "next-generation thought leader." The Oprah Winfrey Network chose Gabby to be part of the "SuperSoul 100," a dynamic group of trailblazers whose vision and life's work are bringing a higher level of consciousness to the world. The New York Times identified Gabby as "a new role model." She co-hosted the Guinness World Records' largest guided meditation with Deepak Chopra, and appears regularly as an expert on Today and Good Morning America, among other publications. She connects with her community through her books, her podcast, her Miracle Membership, the Spirit Junkie app, social media, digital workshops and e-courses, and live events. I was thrilled when I found out about Gabby and heard her speak in such a clear, understandable way about IFS. I had to have her on the podcast and am so thankful that she was open to do it. And, that she turned out to be such a warm, kind, and lovely person. It is amazing when we find people talking our same language outside of the IFS community and that is what I thought about Gabby. I highly recommend you check out her website which is full of free resources. On this episode I mention her TED talk and her Super Soul Session which can be found on YouTube. Check out her Dear Gabby Podcast- it is so good. We spoke about a meditation that I did for her miracle membership- you can join this group on Facebook and through her website.
