In this episode of Going Inside, host John Clarke sits down with integrative therapy guide Elena Kundro to explore the powerful intersection of hypnosis and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, they unpack how trance states and somatic work can deepen self-awareness and accelerate healing, especially when traditional therapeutic approaches fall short. Elena shares insights from her own personal healing journey, lessons from guiding clients through inner work, and how blending spiritual practices with IFS has transformed the way she helps others reconnect to their true selves.

Whether you're a therapist, healer, or someone deep on your own inner path, this episode offers grounded wisdom, practical insight, and soul-deep inspiration.

🔑 3 Key Takeaways

1. IFS and Hypnosis Naturally Complement Each Other
    Hypnosis can ease clients into deeper states of inner connection, helping them access their self-energy and bypass mental noise, which is particularly helpful for clients who struggle to connect with parts consciously.
   
   
2. Healing Gets Harder Before It Gets Easier
    Elena and John reflect on how beginning the healing journey can feel like learning to walk again—challenging but ultimately freeing.
   
   
3. The Real Work Is Being with What Is
    True healing isn't about fixing yourself. It’s about embracing all parts—including shame, fear, and resistance—with curiosity and compassion.
