  • Thank you Wonderful Resource 🙏

    This has been such an important tool for me on my journey I am very grateful for the in-depth insights. I struggle with the music and find it inappropriate to the subject manor and it gets in the way of healing energy which can happen while meditating while listening. Highly recommend deleting the music ASAP. Thank you so much 💞

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing IFS to Children, Parenting, and Schools - with Lisa Spiegel and Claire Stubbs
Q: What is the impact of externalizing parts on a child's internal dialogue and problem-solving abilities?
Externalizing parts reduces self-criticism, softens internal critics, and creates space for compassion and problem-solving, leading to more effective learning and adaptive behavior.
Bringing IFS to Children, Parenting, and Schools - with Lisa Spiegel and Claire Stubbs
Q: How can schools and teachers integrate IFS principles into classrooms to support social-emotional development?
Adopt a whole-school approach that attends to teachers, staff, and students as parts-enabled individuals; implement regulation-forward practices and create environments where behavior is seen as part biology and part protective parts, not as fixed traits.
Bringing IFS to Children, Parenting, and Schools - with Lisa Spiegel and Claire Stubbs
Q: Claire, how do you approach neurodiverse children when introducing the model, and what role does safety play in that process?
Embody self-energy to create safety instead of explaining the model; for neurodivergent children, prioritize safety first, then gradually reveal parts as a process of emergence, allowing parts to come forward in a non-threatening way.
Bringing IFS to Children, Parenting, and Schools - with Lisa Spiegel and Claire Stubbs
Q: So Lisa, what suggestions can you offer us about introducing IFS to a child in the beginning stages of therapy?
Identify the presenting symptom as a part from the outset, then follow the child's lead and adapt the approach based on their readiness, using clear, age-appropriate language and tangible activities to foster curiosity and safety.
Exploring Countertransference Through the Fire Drill Technique — with Joanne Twombly
Q: Can you walk us through the basic procedure of the fire drill technique?
Joanne outlines a step-by-step process of the fire drill, which includes identifying feelings, separating from parts, and communicating with those parts to enhance self-leadership during therapy sessions.
