And while the first decade and a half of his clinical career was more conventional, that all came crashing down in dramatic fashion around 2018 with the culmination of an insidious professional burnout meets dark night of the soul spiritual emergency, resulting in a long-time coming rebirthing of his therapeutic identity and purpose.

Connecting with Guides and Past Lives, with Robert Falconer

In today's episode I am joined by IFS practitioner, teacher, and author Robert Falconer as we discuss in depth his passion for guides and past lives. 
 
Topics Discussed Include:
1. Bob Announces his new book, "When You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going"
2. What is porous mind vs. citadel mind

Robert Falconer is best known for his deep involvement with Internal Family Systems therapy as a practitioner, teacher, and writer. For much of his long career he has focused on the healing of childhood sexual abuse and other major trauma. He now is focused on placing IFS in a multicultural and historical context and working with the others within us - what we find in our minds that is not part of our systems, called unattached burdens and guides in IFS.
 
Bob has come to recognize and appreciate that how we conceive of ourselves and the boundaries of our minds is vitally important not only as a major cause of personal suffering but also as an underlying factor in many of our modern social problems. His new book, The Others Within Us, gives a clear description of how to work with unattached burdens and guides, as it explores the farther reaches and wider implications of this subject.
