IFS: A Conversation w/ Chani Getter

This week, we are honored to welcome Chani Getter to the show. Chani is a renowned psychotherapist, interfaith minister, and author of the book Mapito: Embrace Yourself. One of the therapeutic modalities Chani uses with clients is IFS, Internal Family Systems, an approach developed by Dick Schwartz. IFS takes an integrative approach to therapy, emphasizing a strong body-mind connection, and the notion that our inner experience consists of various "parts". Sometimes these parts work together in our best interest, sometimes they are at odds with each other, often they are trying to protect us from real or imagined threats. Chani weaves together stories and metaphor (2 of our favorite things!) to illustrate what IFS is and how it looks in a therapeutic setting. It takes great trust and rapport between therapist and client to create a container both safe and brave enough for the transformative impact of IFS to take place.Chani reminds us that "the way we speak informs our thinking, and the way we feel informs our speech." Everything is connected, so tools that help us name our feelings like the Gottman Feeling wheel, and apps like How We Feel can be a great place to start getting up close and personal with your inner parts. To learn more about Chani's offerings visit their website: https://chanigetter.com. Where to buy Chani's book in the USA: https://store.bookbaby.com/Book/mapitoMapito is also available worldwide on Amazon or you can see more here:https://chanigetter.com/mapito  Are you struggling with something?
