IFS and Starting IFS with Beth Mullen-Houser

On today's episode I chat with Beth Mullen-Houser. Beth is a clinical psychologist with a passion for working with providers new to IFS. Her IFS journey includes being an IFS-informed therapist for 4 years, an IFS researcher, speaker and consultant and currently PAing a L1 training. She has presented at the IFS 2023 Annual Conference and the Great Lakes IFS retreat and is a member of the Foundation for Self Leadership’s Research Development team including recent collaboration on a research article submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

We talk about:

• Starting IFS after years of mindfulness practice
• Internal chaos- Where is SELF?!
• "My Breath is always me."
• I am With in, not In it
• Research around mindfulness related adverse events
• Parts of therapists, parts of Supervisiors
• Importance of Noticing in the moment when Blended
• Our (Tammy's!) activated Mom parts
• Talking about parts as a way to unblend
• Witness, Community, and validation
• We are wounded in relationship, we heal in relationship
• Unblending ideas
• Stages of Competence
