What does it really mean to integrate IFS and somatic work in a way that’s effective — not just for your clients, but for you as the therapist? 

In this live Q&A episode, John Clarke dives deep into the intersections of IFS, polyvagal theory, somatic therapy, and nervous system regulation. Whether you're navigating anxious clients, parts that over-intellectualize, or your own burnout, this episode offers grounded insights and powerful frameworks to help you heal and show up with more self-energy.

3 Key Takeaways

1. Why trying to “regulate” might actually shut down the trailhead — and how going toward dysregulation creates deeper healing.
2. The real reason clients overthink and “can’t feel” — and what to do instead of pushing them into embodiment.
3. Digital detox isn’t about willpower — it’s about meeting the parts that are addicted to distraction.
