In this episode, John Clarke answers therapists' questions about applying Internal Family Systems (IFS) in real clinical practice. Learn how to begin an IFS session, recognize when your own therapist parts are activated, work skillfully with client triggers, and approach even highly protective parts with curiosity, compassion, and confidence.

John Clarke talks with Emily Barker, founder of Emily Jane Guidance, about the narcissistic abuse cycle, trauma bonding, and why leaving isn't as simple as it looks—through both a clinical and IFS lens.
