IFS Therapy: Parts Work, Panic & Protectors

In this episode, John Clarke answers therapists’ questions about applying Internal Family Systems in real clinical situations. Topics include working with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), perfectionistic protector parts, and fear-based panic responses. John also shares a simple lens that can change how therapists understand client behavior. 

3 Key Takeaways

1. A simple framework that can change how you interpret what clients say in session.
2. Why therapy stalls and how slowing down with protector parts changes the work.
3. The question that helps high-functioning clients reconnect with their true Self.
