IFS Secrets Every Psilocybin Facilitator Needs

Most people hear "IFS" and think parts work. Dr. Nancy Morgan says that's one piece of a much larger model, and the piece facilitators tend to miss is the one that matters most in the medicine space. Dr. Nancy is a licensed clinical psychologist, certified IFS therapist, and guest instructor in our facilitator training, where she teaches facilitators to map their own parts so they can sit with clients from a more grounded place. In this conversation she walks through how parts mapping works inside a preparation session: what a hopeful part wants from the medicine, what happens if it doesn't get it, and what fears sit underneath. Skip that inquiry and those parts still show up, often mid-session, where a protective part losing control of the environment can turn into an adverse experience. She also explains Self-energy, what Michael Mithoefer calls the inner healing intelligence, and shares her own psilocybin journey following a cancer diagnosis. She closes with advice for people stepping into this work, including why she believes facilitators should never practice as an island. Dr. Nancy Morgan is licensed in Oregon and Colorado and teaches in the Entheogen Institute facilitator training program.
