IFS for Insomnia with Katie LaCelle

From Chronic Pain to Passion, October 2024

Welcome back, dear listener. In today’s episode, I got to have a very interesting conversation with my colleague Katie LaCelle. We talked about using Internal Family Systems Therapy to recover from insomnia, we talked about detoxing from early childhood survival habits of urgency and overwork, we talked about so many nuances of the mind-body process that I’m almost sure you’ll see yourself in at least some part of our chat.

Katie is a somatic IFS practitioner & leadership coach. She is passionate about helping her clients uncover their own internal wise leaders and reconnect with their deepest embodied intuition. IFS, or internal family systems, is a trauma-informed modality that can help you get present, rewire your brain, and regulate your nervous system. Katie regularly assists the IFS Institute in training therapists and practitioners, and she is currently pursuing her somatic experiencing practitioner certification. Fun fact: Katie has worked part time in the circus for 8 years, coaching and performing on the flying trapeze. I hope that’s got you curious.

Understanding the Different Parts of Ourselves Through IFS with Katie LaCelle

Wake Up Call, October 2023

“If you’ve ever tried to make a change in your life, but felt stuck and unsure of how to move forward, there’s probably a part of your identity that’s causing that resistance. In this episode, I’m joined by Katie LaCelle to chat about Internal Family Systems - or IFS for short - which is a therapy modality that helps us get curious about all the parts of ourselves to make lasting change and regulate our nervous systems.”

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Internal Family Systems - or IFS - is a process of getting familiar with all the different aspects of your personality, getting curious about the patterns you follow, how you learned those, and what you want to do differently moving forward.

  • We all have different parts or subpersonalities of ourselves, such as “the perfectionist,” “the scientist,” that can conflict with each other. It’s important to practice “unblending” from those parts so no single one of them is running the show.

  • Some ways to identify these parts of yourself are to ask yourself: what is keeping me up at night? When do I put too much pressure on myself, and where does that come from? What makes me feel ashamed, and what’s my reaction to that feeling of shame?

We discuss:

  • What is IFS (parts work) & HOW it helps us develop more compassion

  • How can we begin to look @ everything we experience through the lens of curiosity & compassion?

  • How there is no one solution, but often a multi-faceted approach to healing

  • How all of our parts are actually just trying to look out for us, and always have our best interest at heart. How to befriend these parts

  • How a part carries a burden and ways we can begin to help these parts release the burden so they can be expressed authentically

  • If you have a block and aren't able to access these parts what could be the cause of the block?

  • So much more!

A Childess Conversation with Katie LaCelle

Mommyhood Unscripted, August 2023

“Do you have friends or loved ones who are of the child-bearing years, but do not have any children? Have you ever had a conversation with them about that in an informed and balanced way? Have you felt a bit disconnected from your childless friends once you started having kids? Or have you ever considered the feelings of those who do not want children?

In this episode, Nicole has a very candid conversation with her friend, Katie LaCelle who is a former corporate executive now-turned business and personal coach—and chose to not have kids. Together, these women explore why being childless is still such a “taboo topic”, the curiosity and feelings associated with not having kids, and how we can give those who don’t want to have children the extra support when they need it. Through this safe space, Nicole and Katie explore this often difficult discussion and learn something new from each other -- which they hope will help other friends and loved ones navigate this subject.”
