Internal Family Systems, Energetic Attachments & the Path Back to Your Authentic Self | Sadie Ackerman

In this episode, I’m joined by therapist Sadie Ackerman for a deeply honest conversation about healing, authenticity, and what it really means to come home to yourself.Sadie specializes in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work, and she brings a unique blend of grounded therapeutic wisdom and intuitive insight to her work. Together, we explore how our internal protectors and exiles form, how fear can keep us stuck, and what becomes possible when we approach our inner world with curiosity and compassion.Our conversation also ventures into less-spoken territory, as Sadie shares personal experiences and perspectives on energetic attachments—sometimes called “outsiders”—and how self-awareness and healing can help release what no longer belongs to us.This episode is reflective, vulnerable, and ultimately empowering. It’s an invitation to listen deeply, take what resonates, and trust your own inner knowing as you navigate your healing journey.Resources mentioned:Internal Family Systems Therapy Workbook by Richard SchwartzThe Others Within Us by Robert FalconerWork With SadieSadie's YouTube Channel/PodcastWhole Woman Circle and Whole Woman MentorshipIf you're craving community, support and growth, come join my free women's circle and find out about how to work 1:1 to create alignment, peace and purpose in your life.
