What an honor to speak with Nkem Ndefo today!
I wanted to post this right away, because we are speaking about the election, and Nkem was very helpful in helping me take a step back and see a bigger picture of the election.
I found it very profound when Nkem spoke about their vision for liberation of all. Their organization's vision is: "rooted in justice and flourishing in joy."
We spoke about the important question we can ask ourselves "where is my political home?"
As we spoke about politics and healing, our conversation turned to how we all play roles (or could have a role) in social change. Here was a beautiful intersection with IFS!
Nkem spoke about some of the ways that they have helped facilitate change on large scales within hospitals, and also schools!

I hope this episode can bring you a little peace and hope.

It was such a pleasure speaking with Cindy Jones! This is the first part. We speak about her creation of Bi-Tapp which is a way to help clients regulate their emotions both in and out of the therapy office. Bi-Tapp is a way to help ourselves feel calmer, particularly when we are very activated. This could help us calm our bodies enough to be able to access some of the other skills that we have. Of course, we also speak about how this BLS tool is helpful in EMDR and IFS. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope it is very helpful for you as well!
