Summary

In today’s episode, I interview Natalie Deering, an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and host of That Wellness Podcast. Together, we explore practical and spiritual approaches to anxiety, offering tools to transform anxiety from an adversary into an ally. We discuss personal experiences, explain key IFS concepts like "trailheads," and share exercises to regulate the nervous system and foster self-compassion.

Key Topics Discussed:

Understanding anxiety as a trailhead (find out what a trailhead is in IFS too!)
Practical self-regulation tools.
The role of fear in anxiety.
Spiritual integration.
Everyday self-embodiment practices (SEEs).
