In this episode of The Visibility Standard (formerly All Our Parts), I’m joined by Emily Powell—owner & founder of Authentic Self Therapy Collective—for a deeply honest conversation about what it looks like to be a human and a helper at the same time.
We talk about the inner worlds therapists carry, the parts that get activated when you’re an adult child of emotionally immature parents, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers language for understanding the complexity we hold—both personally and professionally. This episode also pulls back the curtain on the less glamorized side of the therapy world: starting and growing a private practice, navigating social media visibility, and the emotional labor that rarely makes it into Instagram captions.
In this episode, we explore:
- What Internal Family Systems (IFS) teaches us about our inner worlds
- Healing as an adult child of emotionally immature parents
- The messy, honest reality of building and sustaining a private practice
- Why therapist community isn’t optional—it’s essential
- Showing up authentically online and the real emotional cost of visibility
Emily also shares her vision for 2025, the parts of herself she’s still learning to trust, and how she’s intentionally making room for joy, impact, and sustainability in this work. If you’re a therapist, healer, or human navigating growth while holding space for others, this conversation offers language, relief, and permission to be more than one thing at once.
You don’t have to be fully healed to help. You don’t have to fragment yourself to be professional. And you’re allowed to build a life and practice that actually support you, too.
