Queering Internal Family Systems (IFS) Podcast
A conversation between two queer, neurodivergent IFS therapists who wanted to talk about the things that don't always make it into the training room.
Hosted by Jude Carn and Alessio Rizzo, Queering IFS explores what happens when you bring a queer and neurodivergent lens to Internal Family Systems therapy. Each episode is a genuine conversation: about identity, parts, self-energy, shame, joy, nature, and the places where the model needs to stretch a little further.
Whether you're an IFS therapist, in IFS therapy yourself, or just curious about what it means to do this work in a body and a life like yours, you're welcome here.

Episode 15 - Queering Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Ecotherapy meets IFS
IFS has a lot to say about the internal landscape. This episode asks what happens when you bring the external one in too.
Jude and Alessio explore the relationship between IFS, ecotherapy, and ecopsychology: why mainstream psychotherapy has been slow to look outward toward nature, and what gets missed as a result. They talk about how the natural world can offer something distinct to parts work, not as a backdrop but as an active presence, and why nature connection might be one of the less obvious routes into self-energy.
