EP20: Internal Family Systems Therapy with Dr. Brooke Rundle

This episode is the third and final installment of our three-part series focused on mental game insights. In this episode, I take a deeper dive into my own mental health journey, specifically through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy—the primary modality that has helped me navigate the psychological challenges of living with a medical diagnosis.I’m also thrilled to introduce Dr. Brooke Rundle (she/they), a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Colorado. Dr. Rundle brings deep experience with IFS and joins me to explain what IFS is, how it works, and why it can be such a powerful tool for those of us facing complex and chronic medical conditions.In addition to our conversation, I share vulnerable moments from my personal experience using IFS both before and after my kidney autotransplants, as part of my journey with NCS. My hope is that this episode shines a light on a therapeutic approach that has been truly transformative for me.If you're interested in learning more, here are some helpful resources related to Dr. Rundle and IFS:Dr. Rundle’s website – for those seeking IFS therapy in ColoradoIFS Institute Directory – to find an IFS therapist near youThe Somatic IFS Workbook – especially helpful for those living with chronic painRocky Mountain Equality – Free therapy for uninsured LGBTQ+ folks in Colorado (3 months of access through Rocky Mountain Equality)I hope this episode brings value to your journey.
