What an honor to speak with Nkem Ndefo today! 

I wanted to post this right away, because we are speaking about the election, and Nkem was very helpful in helping me take a step back and see a bigger picture of the election.

I found it very profound when Nkem spoke about their vision for liberation of all. Their organization's vision is: "rooted in justice and flourishing in joy." 

We spoke about the important question we can ask ourselves "where is my political home?"

As we spoke about politics and healing, our conversation turned to how we all play roles (or could have a role) in social change. Here was a beautiful intersection with IFS!

Nkem spoke about some of the ways that they have helped facilitate change on large scales within hospitals, and also schools!

I hope this episode can bring you a little peace and hope.

Five Podcasters got together, and had a blast speaking about IFS (live)! They all have their own podcast-- including, The One Inside, Growing Faithfully, That Wellness Podcast, Healing Trauma From the Inside Out, and Empowered Through Compassion. What a beautiful group of podcasts. It was such a wonderful get together and share some "Self-energy" with each other and with the audience. I thought it would be fun to share all of this with you!

I am so excited to share this incredible discussion with you. Rotem Brayer has created a community for EMDR practitioners, and we dive into some of his thoughts about EMDR, mindfulness and even IFS. He has so much to share, and I am thrilled to bring you this episode.

Let dive into how we can understand OCD from an IFS lens. In this Part 2, Rob Fox and I continue to explore how we both use IFS and EMDR (and other modalities) to understand the allusive experience of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. 

Welcome to this episode where I speak with Rob Fox, who I am very excited to bring to this audience. 

Rob is certified in EMDR and IFS. In addition to having a lot of skills and knowledge on working with addictions, Rob also is a specialist when it comes to Obsessive-Compuslive Disorder (OCD). 

The focus in this two part conversation is how Rob works with OCD, and conceptualizes this disorder. He shares some of his personal experiences as well. it was a pleasure speaking with Rob!
