Somatic IFS: Susan McConnell new Book

Susan McConnell, author of "Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy," discusses her new book and the integration of somatic practices within the IFS model. The conversation explores the five core practices outlined in the book: awareness, breath, resonance, movement, and touch, emphasizing their sequential yet interdependent nature in fostering healing and self-discovery. McConnell clarifies that Somatic IFS isn't a new model, but rather a deepening of original IFS, highlighting the body's role in unburdening and transformation. She shares personal experiences and client stories to illustrate the power of attuned and ethical touch in addressing trauma and restoring sensory aliveness. The discussion also touches on the spiritual dimension that emerges when mind and body are fully integrated, leading to a sense of unboundaried connection.
