“In the midst of winter I found there was within me an invincible summer.”
~ Albert Camus

This is a short shout-out to let you know of a couple of publications that may be helpful on your IFS journey.

I (Diana) was interviewed last month by Dr. Kim Daniels on The Emotional Eating (and Everything Else) Podcast on how I infuse the IFS model with nutrition clients. We had a really good time discussing that we’d both started our practices steeped in diet culture, she as a bariatric surgery therapist and I as clinic manager of an academic medical weight management center, and how we swung the complete opposite way before landing in the middle. I hope you enjoy it (link below)!

Secondly, Diana has a published chapter outlining her story of finding her nutrition career and then blending IFS into the mix. It describes many of the fears dietitians have about moving into therapeutic spaces with clients when we’re taught the exact opposite! Do enjoy that as well as other non-therapy ways of bringing healing into the world in Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room.

This month’s taste of IFS:  The Power of Self to Heal Our Parts

Dick Schwartz, the developer of the IFS model, shares in a 19-minute video the power of Self energy to heal the wounds of our young parts. It’s a clear and succinct description bound to entice you to learn more!
