Unblending and Direct Access with Mel Galbraith | Internal Family Systems Therapy
Manage episode 463362591 series 3552009
In this episode of the Going Inside Podcast, I sit down with Mel Galbraith, a Level 3 IFS therapist and COO of IFSCA, to dive into the practical side of unblending and direct access in Internal Family Systems therapy. We explore what to do when clients struggle to "drop in" or when protectors resist stepping back, and Mel shares how to approach these situations with curiosity, patience, and flexibility. We also touch on the role of self-energy in creating safety, how to avoid bypassing protectors, and the balance between sticking to the model and meeting clients where they are.
Key Takeaways:
- Protectors resist unblending for a reason—curiosity and validation are key to earning their trust.
- Direct access can feel intimidating but is a natural and effective way to engage parts when insight work stalls.
- Prioritizing client safety and flexibility over rigidly following the model leads to deeper, more authentic healing.
