22. CYNDIE LANE on Internal Family Systems
Show Notes

In today’s episode, I welcome Cyndie Lane.  Cyndie Lane is a psychotherapist specializing in Internal Family Systems, a relatively new and highly effective healing approach that is changing how psychotherapists work with and view their clients’ problems.  


In short, IFS seeks to help clients find compassion and curiosity for the parts of themselves that create suffering and havoc in their lives.  Fundamental to this modality is the belief that even those parts of us that cause us or others pain developed originally for a good reason and primarily in an effort to protect us.


Here’s a sneak peek of the episode:


  • What makes IFS different from other forms of therapy.
  • The psyche and the ways in which our psyche can express itself.
  • How unresolved family of origins shows up at the workplace.



If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.


Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.


Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
