In this episode of the True You Podcast, hosts Bill Tierney and Marty chat with special guest Jerry Waxler, a seasoned therapist and memoir writer. They explore Jerry's journey from addiction recovery to becoming a memoir coach. Jerry emphasizes the therapeutic power of memoir writing, its ability to reframe past experiences, articulate emotions, and foster a deeper understanding of oneself. The discussion highlights how writing can be a transformative process, aligning with principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the 12-step recovery programs.

About Jerry Waxler:

Jerry Waxler hit bottom early in adulthood and began a long climb through recovery, self-help, therapy, and wisdom traditions. At fifty, he returned to school to become a therapist, only to discover that to help others, he had to keep growing. Memoir reading provided insight into the vast library of human experience offered in memoirs. And writing his own memoirs helped him rebuild shattered segments of his past. His continued interest in Twelve Step recovery, and his ongoing research into the many branches of psychotherapy, led him to Internal Family Systems, which he sees as a pinnacle of his journey toward mental wholeness. Now, 54 years sober, Jerry’s life work is helping others grow through therapy, writing, and the transformative power of turning private memories into shared stories.

In this episode, join Marty and Bill as they welcome special guest Dr. Marie Feuer on the True You Podcast. Dr. Feuer shares her transformative journey from activism to spirituality, discussing her involvement in energy activism, mystical events, and integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her practice. The conversation covers groundbreaking topics like remote healing, telepathic communication, and personal anecdotes that highlight the powerful impact of IFS. 

About Dr. Marie Feuer:

Marie transitioned from full-time activism into a journey of recovery and spirituality. Her transformation began with The Living Theater, where trance performances awakened her to the power of energy. Activism with the American Indian Movement at Wounded Knee connected her with medicine people and mystical events, eventually leading her to mentors in metaphysics and remote healing.

Beginning in 1990, she taught gang members as a professor before moving on to colleges with at-risk students. Over 15 years, she engaged in ACA 12-step work and inner-child healing, evolving into Internal Family Systems. With more than 12 years in the mystic arts and psychology, Marie now continues to integrate IFS into her spiritual practice.
