In this episode of Going Inside: Healing Trauma From The Inside Out,  David Polidi leads a roundtable discussion of IFS podcasters–Tammy Sollenberger, Natalie Deering, Tim Fortescue, and myself, John Clarke. We explore the internal conflicts and polarizations that arise during creative projects like starting a podcast, how trauma disconnects us from our authentic selves, and the role of Internal Family Systems Therapy in reconnecting with self-energy. Together, they share personal insights on finding clarity, overcoming fears, and deepening self-awareness through IFS.

Key Takeaways:

1. Balancing Internal Polarities: We explore how internal conflicts, such as fear and ambition, can delay meaningful actions. Using IFS, we’ve learned to harmonize these parts to make authentic decisions.
2. Spiritual Healing and Trauma: I explain that addressing trauma involves both physical and spiritual healing. IFS provides a pathway to reconnect with one's spirituality and heal from past traumas.
3. IFS for Self-Connection: Tammy Sollenberger discusses how IFS aids in reconnecting with one's core self, facilitating deeper self-awareness and healing from trauma.
