Intuitive Self: IFS + Intuition + Spirituality with Natalie Deering

Breath as a Pathway to Healing, Regulation, and Connection, with Tracey Soghrati

In this episode I’m joined by Tracey Soghrati—Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse—to explore breath as a pathway to healing, regulation, and connection.
We begin with a simple truth: everybody breathes—but not everyone feels safe in their breath.
I share my personal history with respiratory illness, including TB, pneumonia, and asthma, and how these experiences activated vulnerable parts within me. Together, we explore how breath is not just physical—it’s emotional, protective, and deeply relational.
Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, we unpack the parts of us connected to breathing, including those that brace, restrict, or fear being heard. We also explore how breath impacts the nervous system and how intentional breathwork can support regulation and healing.
This episode includes three guided breathing practices, led by Tracey, so you can experience this work firsthand.
 
 In This Episode, We Explore:
The universal yet complex nature of breathing
How illness and trauma can impact our relationship with breath
The connection between breath and the nervous system
Protective parts that brace, restrict, or control breathing
The impact of chronic body bracing on emotional and physical health
Fear around vocalizing breath and being heard
Building safety and relationship with the breath
Three guided breathing practices you can return to anytime

Breaking the Trance: Hypnotherapy as a Bridge to Inner Knowing with Zarina Tariq

Have you ever considered that you might already be in a trance?
In this episode, I sit down with Zarina Tariq, Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati, to explore hypnotherapy as a powerful bridge to healing, self-trust, and inner knowing.
We talk about how many of us walk through life in unconscious “trance states” shaped by limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and protective patterns — and how hypnotherapy can gently help us wake up.
Zarina shares the history of hypnotherapy, what it actually is (and isn’t), and clears up common misconceptions about hypnosis. We explore the difference between everyday trance states and intentionally entering trance “at will” for healing and transformation.
You’ll also hear:
What a typical hypnotherapy session looks like
How hypnotherapy helps access the subconscious mind
How it supports breaking self-sabotaging patterns
The similarities and differences between hypnotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
The connection between hypnotherapy and chakras
My personal experience working with Zarina
 
About Zarina Tariq:
Zarina Tariq is an Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati. She helps individuals break free from limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, and self-sabotaging patterns by addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms.
Blending hypnotherapy, energy work, and coaching, Zarina empowers her clients to unlock the vast potential of their subconscious minds, cultivate self-confidence, and step into their personal power with clarity and confidence.

IFS Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out, with Max Littman

In this episode, I’m joined by IFS therapist, consultant, and author Max Littman, LCSW, for a deeply meaningful conversation about his groundbreaking new book:
Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out
Max’s work centers the lived experiences of gay and queer men through an Internal Family Systems lens, offering a compassionate, culturally attuned resource for healing after the coming out process—when many parts, burdens, and relational dynamics can become activated in new ways.
This episode is filled with tenderness, truth, and the powerful reminder that taking up space creates space—and that vulnerability can become an invitation for collective healing.
 
We Discuss:
Why Max wrote a companion for AFTER coming out, rather than before
The emotional and relational layers that can emerge in the years following coming out
How cultural burdens within gay and queer communities can shape internal parts and protective strategies
The importance of representation, visibility, and storytelling as a form of collective unburdening
Max’s personal experience navigating identity, attachment, and healing after coming out
The powerful role of media and relational narratives, including reflections on Heated Rivalry and the impact of seeing queer struggle and love portrayed honestly
An IFS-informed practice "The Pool Party" for meeting and understanding different parts
Max’s heartfelt message to gay and queer men seeking deeper connection, healing, and wholeness
Max reminds us that healing doesn’t stop once someone comes out. In many ways, it’s only the beginning of a deeper internal journey—one that includes meeting the parts shaped by shame, longing, belonging, protection, and cultural expectation.
This conversation offers a supportive and empowering path toward Self-leadership, authenticity, and relational healing.
 
About Max Littman:
Max Littman, LCSW, is an IFS therapist, consultant, and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work focuses on attunement, attachment, cultural burdens, and relational and neurobiological understandings of trauma. He specializes in working with gay and queer men and provides mentorship to therapists in private practice.
Max has served as a Program Assistant for IFS Level 1 and Somatic IFS Step 2 trainings. He is also the author of a widely read IFS blog exploring themes such as the weaponization of Self, the practice of attunement, and the importance of normalizing therapeutic missteps.
His new book is the first IFS book to center gay and queer men:
Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out

Final Message:
If you are a gay or queer man navigating identity, relationships, belonging, or the inner world that unfolds after coming out—this episode and Max’s book offer a compassionate companion for the journey.
And for therapists, allies, and loved ones who want to better understand and support the gay and queer experience, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of culturally attuned, representation-centered healing spaces.

Clairvoyance, Intuition, and IFS: A Conversation with Catherine Cope

In today’s intuitive conversation, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS therapist Catherine Cope, a clinician and clairvoyant who beautifully bridges Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, intuitive development, and spiritual presence. Catherine and I first met while serving as program assistants in an IFS Level 1 training, where a moment of vulnerability opened a doorway between us: I shared with the group that I’m clairvoyant… and Catherine shared that she is too.
From there, an entire inner world of resonance opened.
Together, we explore our early experiences with intuition and the spiritual realms, the parts of us that feared being seen—and being seen seeing—and how both of us gradually learned to trust our inner vision. Catherine also shares about her four years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, where she trained in clairvoyance, grounding practices, energetic boundaries, and the art of inhabiting the human body as a conscious, intuitive being.
This episode moves through the ways intuition naturally supports IFS therapy, how to fine-tune your inner instrument, and how to invite guidance—internal and spiritual—into the healing process. We also talk about the courage it takes to let intuitive gifts come forward, especially when parts hold fear, skepticism, or concern.
This is a grounded, expansive conversation about intuition, psychic development, parts work, and learning to trust the deeper knowing inside each of us.
 
Topics We Cover
Early life experiences sensing the spiritual realm and intuitive information
Parts that feared being seen and being seen seeing
Catherine’s four years of clairvoyant training at the Berkeley Psychic Institute
Grounding cords, visualization, and why the body believes the pictures we see
Tools for living fully in the human body and claiming it as your own
Closing the eyes during IFS sessions to deepen connection, centering, and clarity
What clairvoyance is—and a discussion of the other clairs
Why everyone has intuitive access (and which clairs you naturally tune into)
Understanding intuition as an instrument each of us tunes differently
How to strengthen intuition through IFS, meditation, grounding, and embodiment
Using intuitive information ethically and skillfully in IFS work
Discerning what belongs to the client vs. what belongs to you
Asking internal and external guides for support in session
Addressing Protector Parts who fear intuition or visibility
 
About Catherine Cope, LCMHC
Catherine Cope is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New York and North Carolina with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. She is a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist, an IFS Approved Clinical Consultant, a Certified EMDR Therapist, and Hakomi-trained, integrating somatic, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches into her work.
Catherine’s clinical training is complemented by decades of contemplative and intuitive study. She spent four years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute and has worked for more than 30 years with intuitive counselor Christen McCormack, whose teachings continue to shape her meditative and intuitive practices.
She is also married and the mother of two rapidly growing children, whose presence brings both unpredictability and deep love into her daily life—further enriching her understanding of human complexity and connection.
Catherine is a grounded, attuned, and deeply intuitive therapist and guide.

Beyond the Body: Danielle Carron on Her Near Death Experience and the Timeless Self

In today’s expansive conversation, I sit down with Danielle Carron, a therapist, spiritual guide, and mystic who bridges Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, meditation, and consciousness work. Danielle and I first met at the IFS conference and immediately bonded over our shared love of quantum physics, the mystery of time, and the sacred nature of healing.
At 19 years old, Danielle survived a traumatic rock-climbing accident that initiated a profound Near Death Experience (NDE)—one that revealed timelessness, unconditional love, and the truth of who she really is beyond fear, identity, and the limits of the body. That experience became the foundation of her life’s mission: bringing the sacred into healing and helping others awaken through their pain.
This episode explores how meditation can access the same expansive, transcendent states of consciousness Danielle touched in her NDE—states of nonlinear time, eternal connection, and pure Self-energy. We explore what becomes possible when parts soften back and give us space to experience our higher consciousness directly.
This is a deep, beautiful conversation that bends time itself.
 
Topics We Cover
How we met at the conference + shared love of quantum physics and time
Danielle’s Near Death Experience at age 19 and how it transformed her life
Linear vs. nonlinear time and why it matters for healing
Meditation as a pathway to expansive, transcendent states of Self
The timeless nature of Self and accessing Divine unconditional love
Parts that fear transcendence and how to support them
Letting go of survival-driven linear time
The theme of unconditional love in NDEs and Self-energy
Discussion of Danielle’s 45-minute meditation for nonlinear time
My personal experience practicing her meditation
Benefits of transcendent states + how present work impacts the past
Recommendations for accessing higher consciousness through meditation
“Who am I when my parts give me space?”
About Danielle Carron, MS, MA, SEP, LPC
Danielle has been working with clients in private practice for over 17 years. At age 19, she lived through a rock-climbing fall and a profound Near Death Experience that changed everything. It revealed her true identity beyond fear, beyond the body, and beyond linear time.
Since then, Danielle has devoted her life to bridging psychology, embodiment, meditation, and the sacred. Her work integrates Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, spiritual practice, and consciousness studies. She guides clients into their wholeness—mind, body, and soul.
She is a therapist, mystic, teacher, and companion for the full human experience.

No Bad Puppets: Parts Work, Play, and IFS with Mark Saltzman

What happens when the healing world of Internal Family Systems meets the imaginative art of puppetry?
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Saltzman, LMP — a self-proclaimed puppet nerd, bodyworker, grief educator, and IFS practitioner — to explore how puppets can bring our inner parts to life in the therapy room and beyond.
Mark and I chat about the serendipitous way we met at the IFS Conference, and how puppetry became a playful yet powerful tool for accessing the body’s wisdom and deep emotional truth.
 
We talk about:- The benefits of using puppets to externalize and connect with parts- How embodiment and play foster safety and Self-energy- Why there are no bad puppets (or parts!)- Using puppets for direct access, exile work, and legacy burdens- How you can start using puppets on your own for part connection
This episode is equal parts (pun intended) creative, curious, and compassionate — reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. Sometimes, play opens the deepest doors.
 
About Mark Saltzman, LMP:
Mark Saltzman is a Licensed Massage Practitioner with over 30 years of experience, trained at Bastyr University’s Bellevue Massage School. His work blends therapeutic bodywork, somatic IFS, and creative expression to help clients reconnect with their inner world through the body.

He’s also the founder of Kiwuppet Studios, where he designs and performs puppets that bring emotional worlds to life.

IFS Conference Reflections (and Celebration of 100th episode) with Tammy Sollenberger

Fresh from the 2025 IFS Conference and in celebration of the podcast's 100th episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS enthusiast, Tammy Sollenberger, for a lively and heartfelt debrief. In true synchronicity, we somehow kept signing up for the same seminars—without ever comparing notes beforehand. We talk about our parts, our paths, and maybe a touch of destiny.
Tammy opens up about what it’s like to be an “IFS celebrity” (yes, we said it!) and the part of her that found it difficult to fully surrender as a participant in sessions while being so publicly known in the community. I share about my socially anxious parts and how they showed up throughout the conference, and together we explore how our systems reacted to the intensity, the beauty, and the vulnerability of being surrounded by hundreds of other parts and protectors in one big IFS field.
I also share some clairvoyant messages that came through for both of us — intuitive nudges about healing, alignment, and the unexpected ways our friendship continues to unfold inside and outside the IFS community.
This episode is a blend of reflection, laughter, emotional honesty, and gentle self-discovery — just what you’d expect from two friends who speak IFS fluently and love exploring the edges between psychology and soul.
 
What We Talk About
How we kept accidentally attending all the same IFS conference seminars
Tammy’s experience of being an “IFS celebrity” and the protector that kept her from full vulnerability as a participant
My socially anxious parts and how they showed up in crowded conference spaces
The parts of us that got activated during the conference — and how we worked with them
Our individual experiences as presenters
Tammy’s real-time vulnerability: sharing about her romantic breakup in her presentation and how her system responded
Clairvoyant messages and intuitive insights that came through for both of us
Takeaways, integration, and how the IFS model continues to deepen our friendships and inner awareness
 
About Tammy Sollenberger
Tammy Sollenberger is an author, podcaster, and psychotherapist. She’s a Certified IFS Therapist and Consultant who loves helping people new to IFS discover their Authentic Self. Tammy co-authored a chapter on the Enneagram and IFS with Joan Ryan in the book Altogether Us: Integrating the IFS Model with Key Modalities, Communities, and Trends. She’s also the author of The One Inside: Thirty Days to Your Authentic Self, and the host and producer of the popular weekly podcast, “The One Inside.”

Befriending the Inner Critic with IFS - A Conversation with Chris Burris

In this episode, I sit down with one of my IFS mentors Chris Burris, LMFT, Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute, to explore one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of our inner world: the inner critic.
Chris shares his personal journey with IFS and how the model offers a radical permission to approach ourselves—and our parts—with more love, kindness, and curiosity. Together, we discuss:
Why people are more than the behavior of their parts
The nature of inner critic parts and why pushing them away doesn’t work
How cultural messages often teach us to fight or silence the inner critic, rather than befriend it
Common “suck points” when working with critics in therapy
The role of legacy burdens in shaping our inner critics
What it means to carry the critical energy of others inside us
The importance of following intuition in the healing process
Practical exercises to begin befriending your inner critic on your own
This conversation is both grounding and liberating, offering a compassionate reframe for anyone who struggles with self-judgment or harsh inner voices.
 
About Chris Burris:
Chris Burris, M.Ed., LCMHCS, LMFT (he/him), is a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, providing Level II and III trainings worldwide.

Embodying Self-Energy with Jenny Hayo

My guest today is Jenny Hayo (she/her)—teacher, guide, and practitioner of wisdom traditions for over 25 years—to explore the living, breathing experience of Self-energy and how it shapes our inner and outer worlds.

What we are actually embodying when we talk about “being in Self.”
The practice of interoception—tuning into the body’s signals and sensations.
The difference between listening to the body and having an agenda for it.
How Self can be both a deeply spiritual and beautifully ordinary experience.
Ways to discover what your unique Self-energy feels like.
The heart as a powerful portal into Self-energy.
A simple practice Jenny shares for cultivating embodiment and accessing Self-energy in daily life.
