In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I’m joined again by Justin Sunseri to explore the recent shift in Internal Family Systems toward a more spiritual philosophy, and what happens when any therapeutic model begins to expand by decree rather than organic development.
We talk about:
• Why models become complex, totalising, or market-driven
• The difference between useful tools and necessary ones
• How jargon and insider culture can create dependence rather than freedom
• Justin’s focus on simplicity, self-regulation, and small iterative steps
• Wabi Sabi, Kaizen, and the power of micro-changes
• How to recognise a healthy “pull” and build change gradually
