E57: Theo

My guest on this episode is Theo, a practitioner of guided Somatic Imaginal Explorations, a form of “parts work” that he’s crafted by combining Internal Family Systems with other healing modalities. Theo began his personal journey after finding the corporate world of finance and marketing to be unfulfilling, while the inner worlds of imagination, connection, and healing opened to him a world of curiosity and joy. To date, Theo has performed over five-hundred guided explorations and has found a way of helping others find more connection, joy, and clarity in their lives. I truly enjoyed my conversation with Theo, and I hope you do as well.
