Episode 7 - Queering IFS - Exploring the Burden of the Gender Binary with Anna Thomas (They / Them) (Copy)

In this podcast Jude (She / They) and Alessio (He / They) discuss with their guest Anna Thomas (They / Them) about the importance of bringing awareness to the impact of the gender binary on all our lives.

Anna Thomas and Alessio present some of the ideas that have inspired them to offer an online retreat called "IFS Gender Journeys", which is an affinity space for queer and queer-adjacent IFS-trained professionals who want to honour the disenfranchised grief associated with the discovery and acceptance of not being cisgender.
