The Other Human in the Room
Join us for our conversation with podcast host and physician Joan Chan.
In Episode #2 Joan takes a courageous leap and allows us to experience the model with her in a DEMO with her own parts. She finds it so helpful that she invites us back for a series of sessions that we are thrilled to share as examples of the real work of Radical Self Care.
01
We sit down with Joan to share about our medical and writing journeys and why we're passionate about bringing IFS into medicine.
03
Joan explores her relationship with anger and resentment as it shows up in a personal relationship.
02
In this full-length teaching demo Dr. Joan Chan does a 'you-turn' to get to know the parts that show up to protect when a patient is angry, and we befriend a part earnestly trying to follow the rules of 'being good.'
