The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcastHonoring Teen Parts with Ann-Katrin Bockmann, Kasra Mirzaie, and Robin BarreIn this week's episode I welcome three guests--Robin Barre, Ann-Katrin Bockmann, and Kasra Mirzaie--to talk about IFS and working with teenagers. We explore how IFS often skips over this phase of life, both in how we work with clients and how we relate to our own inner adolescent parts. We tend to romanticize childhood or focus on early wounding, yet there’s a lot of cringing and avoiding when it comes to the teenage years. Adolescence is where so much transformation happens. It’s where meaning gets made. It’s when parts start to emerge with passion, intens...2025-05-1646 min

The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcastCompassion Fatigue and Burnout with Cece SykesEpisode Summary: In this episode I chat with Cece Sykes, an IFS lead trainer and author, about an experience many of us share: compassion fatigue and burnout.
