In this conversation, John Clarke brings together a panel of colleagues and co-authors to dive into their new book, Opening the Inner World. Together, they explore where Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy meets the spiritual insights of Emanuel Swedenborg. The panel shares their own journeys, the transformative impact of IFS, and how Swedenborg’s teachings on the inner self and divine inflow can deepen our understanding of trauma and healing. They also discuss the nature of consciousness, the power of inner dialogue, and the role of spirit in our lives — highlighting how self-awareness and a connection to the divine can open the door to profound healing and growth.

🌿 Key takeaways:

Uncover how blending IFS and Swedenborg’s teachings can open new pathways to deep emotional and spiritual healing.
See trauma through a new lens by understanding it as part of a larger spiritual experience, not just a psychological wound.
Experience a fresh perspective on how your spiritual and physical selves are constantly interacting and shaping your life.
Recognize how the illusion of separation keeps us stuck — and how reconnecting with your true self (and helping your clients do the same) brings lasting change.
