Partsy Girls: an IFS podcast

Holding Space {Grief}

Today we're talking about Grief (we know, deep breath). The common thread that runs through us all, the thread that so many of us are scared to touch.  We hope that this episode serves as a love letter to the parts of you that have been holding grief alone. We hope they feel seen and heard. We hope that it may open your system up to consider new ways of being with your own grief and the grief of others.  In this episode Grace shares some of her personal journey with grief and what she learned on a recent IFS grief retreat with Ann Sinko. We want to thank the trainers and teachers we've learned so much from, our guides in this work, for giving us a way to be with the most tender and sacred parts of ourselves and our clients.  Send us your questions/comments/concerns at partsygirlspod@gmail.com or on Instagram @partsygirlspod Note: IFS content starts at minute 32:00!

Thanks Alfonso {Processing the Election}

Hey you. We're glad you're here.  No matter how the Presidential election results impacted your system, we imagine it brought parts to the surface for you just like it did for us. We hope you can use today's episode to start to be curious about which of your parts may have been working in overdrive the past few days (weeks, months), and maybe even find a pathway to be with them. When our external world becomes uncertain and shaky, there's hope (we think) in knowing that turning inward can give us access to at least a little bit more calm and grounding. When so much is out of our control, we can tend to the parts of us that so desperately need to feel that someone (you) will ride the waves with them no matter what.  Coming off an election and going into the holidays may feel overwhelming, intimidating, and exhausting. Listen along as we share some ways to connect inside, take care of your understandably activated parts, or even just survive. We're sending so much tender care and heartfelt self energy to our listeners who may be needing that right now.  Don't worry, we threw some laughs in there too if that's what your system needs right now instead.  Send us your questions/comments/concerns at partsygirlspod@gmail.com or on Instagram @partsygirlspod Note: IFS content starts at minute 26:45!

Patricia is an LCSW, certified sex therapist, level 3 certified IFS therapist, CST supervisor, and a leader in the field of using the IFS framework to work with folx exploring their own sexuality.

Listen along with us as we get a real time opportunity to tap into what this topic brings up for us, and Patricia encourages you, listener, to see what it brings up for you. This exciting and engaging topic is sure to be as stimulating for you as it was for us ;). We are so grateful that Patricia lent us her time, knowledge, and beautiful self-energy and left us with more curiosity and interest that when we began.
