Ep 13 What’s Really Behind the Mirror: A Live IFS Therapy Demo on Body Image

In this bonus episode of Get Uncomfortable, you’ll hear something different: A live, unscripted demo of what an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy session actually sounds like, led by therapist Johnathon Fortune of @theragen.counselling.

I chose body image as the topic to explore. A theme a lot of us struggle with but rarely talk about out loud. What unfolded was eye-opening.

Through the lens of IFS, we unpacked the different "parts" of myself that show up when it comes to body image:

• The inner critic
• The driven performer
• The vulnerable part underneath it all

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and heard a voice that didn’t feel like your own — this episode is for you.

This is not just a conversation. It’s a practice. It’s what getting uncomfortable actually looks like.

In this episode:

• What a real IFS session sounds like
• How body image struggles show up in high performers
• The power of naming and understanding your “parts”
• Why self-compassion isn’t soft — it’s necessary
