In this episode, I take you inside my experience of learning Internal Family Systems therapy while simultaneously navigating prostate cancer surgery and recovery during the fall and winter of 2023-24.

Through audio diary entries recorded over three months, you'll hear my real-time reflections as I move through an intensive experiential training that forced me to find and confront parts of myself. From the corporate retreat center where it all began to the post-surgical reflections in my bedroom, these recordings capture the disorientation, insight, and healing that unfolded as I allowed myself to be both student and subject.

This episode may be helpful for therapists considering IFS training or for anyone facing illness or supporting someone through health challenges. It is the final episode in my five part series on my IFS level I training experience.

This episode of Developing Meaning is produced by Dirk Winter and Caroline Hinton and brought to you by Consilient Mind LLC.

Developing Meaning is NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSTITUTIONS and NOT CLINICAL ADVICE.

Theme Music by The Thrashing Skumz.

Brave new podcast

Dirk approaches this most ambitious of topics with his own quirky brand of sweetness, humility and widsdom. You’ll love listening to these conversations, as he gently guides the interview in equal parts the seasoned expert and the ever curious and delighted student. He’s asking the questions we all have but that most of us are afraid to ask.

Playing with meaning

Dirk’s skillful way of interacting and interviewing his guests makes this podcast a journey of surprises. Along the way you hear about other ways of being in the world; it broadens the perspective on creating meaning. I find the conversations stimulating and inspiring!

Extremely thought provoking

Dirk’s guests discuss topics I rarely have time to think about in my daily life, but their experiences and insights always leave me with a great deal to ponder. I love that Dirk doesn’t limit his interviews to just 45 minutes. The episodes are long, but that gives more time for him and his guest to dig deep. They raise so many interesting questions about the meaning of life, what makes for a really fulfilling life, new ways to think about spirituality, and so much more. If your looking for honest conversations about meaning, this is one podcast you really need to check out.

Thought-provoking and inspiring

Dirk’s interview with Justin Townsend is quite long — but never boring. I learned a lot and will definitely tune in to hear from other experts who are exploring meaning and how to develop meaning…

I am enjoying this podcast a lot!
