In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we welcome Terry Baranski, an expert in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Compassionate Inquiry. Terry discusses his journey from IT to becoming a practitioner of these therapies. We explore IFS, focusing on how it helps individuals understand and heal their internal parts by addressing trauma at its roots.

Terry likens the mind's parts to orchestra members, each with its role. He highlights the importance of compassion towards these parts for healing. We share examples of how IFS has helped people overcome depression and anxiety by addressing underlying trauma.

We also discuss the non-pathologizing nature of IFS, the mind-body connection, and self-healing mechanisms. Terry shares his upcoming events and workshops for listeners interested in IFS.

This episode is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and effective trauma healing methods. Discover how IFS can transform your approach to mental health.
