IFS Meditation: Working with Shaming Protectors with Stephanie Mitchell

This meditation is an invitation to hear from parts of your system that use shaming. (While also giving full permission to instead stay with parts that are not ready to get to know the shaming part/s, if that is what is needed.) A lovely opportunity to experience some IFS, led with much Self Energy by the wonderful Stephanie Mitchell.
Stephanie is offering a 'Shame Sanctuary' retreat in QLD Australia for those who are called to join (therapists and others welcome).

E10. Parts Party with Ruth Culver

Ruth Culver is a Level 3 trained, & certified IFS practitioner based in Brighton UK where she works with adults and adolescents, as well as offering experiential workshops and trainings both in person and online. Her systemic interest in trauma, attachment and resilience led to the creation of "The Survive/Thrive Spiral” - an info-graphic which maps the inter-relatedness of IFS and Polyvagal Theory. Two other IFS integrations have also emerged through her work: "Drawing into Self” which is a method for doing IFS though guided intuitive drawing; and "IFS Constellations” : a method for doing IFS through the somatic group resonance process of constellations.

IFS Meditation: Unblending from a part / parts with Ella Shannon

Life will always have moments that are upsetting and distressing. In these moments, parts of us get activated, and try to do their best to help us cope. They buzz with anxiety, they try to fix, they focus on others or they find ways to numb us out. This meditation might be helpful in moments where you feel blended or taken over by a part. We hope you find it supportive. 

E8. Parts Party with Martin Tore

Martin Toré is the creator of IFS Buddy, an AI tool for Internal Family Systems self-therapy that gained traction overnight and now helps thousands of people worldwide, has been showcased at major healthcare conferences, and universities are reaching out to include it in their research.
Martin was previously a physiotherapist, and he talks about how working with people living with chronic pain led him to learn about trauma and the links between trauma and pain. He shares how he learnt to come from his heart when having  difficult and delicate conversations with his patients. Martin said he started working with IFS through video guidance and was able to make profound healing shifts through this self work, and shares his humble gratitude that the tool he created 'IFS Buddy' is granting free access for people worldwide to work with their parts outside of a formal IFS session.
