Have a question or takeaway? Send us a message, we read every one.
In this episode, I’m joined by Teddy Knebel, an IFS therapist and long-time Program Assistant for IFS trainings, to explore what it really looks like to grow into your voice as a therapist. We talk about the anxiety that shows up when learning IFS, how to relate to parts that want to “get it right,” and why trusting your own unique style is essential to effective therapy. If you’re new to IFS or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation will help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your work.
🌿 Key takeaways:
Most therapists think they need to “get IFS right”… but what if that pressure is the very thing getting in the way? You’ve been taught to follow the model—but what happens when your own style starts to emerge? Anxiety in the therapy room isn’t a mistake… it might be pointing you toward something essential.Guest Info:
