“IFS and shame” a personal journey. This podcast is a very personal account of my own journey of healing from early developmental trauma, neglect and abuse and the ubiquitous shame that is inevitable in the wake of such experiences.

34: Voices in my Bed: Trauma, Psychosis and IFS, with Stephanie Mitchell
“I think full healing comes to a place where the voice just doesn’t have to be disowned as something outside of me. It becomes me, a part of me.” — Stephanie Mitchell
Self-Led in Bed, an IFS and Sexuality Podcast
The episode closes with Patty and Stephanie finding their way to a beautiful full-circle moment — that voice, the one we find in safety, the one that can say what it wants and what it doesn’t, the one that can finally speak up even after being deeply dissociated — is what being Self-led in Bed is really about.
Patty sits down with Stephanie Mitchell, a Certified IFS therapist specializing in non-ordinary states, psychosis, and complex developmental trauma for a personally revealing and intellectually adventurous conversation. Stephanie works at what she calls the pointy end of distress — with clients experiencing voices, visions, and states that often get labeled psychosis or schizophrenia — and explores with Patty how those experiences intersect with sexual dilemmas and trauma.
They explore how voices and visions often carry what other parts are too afraid to know — including around sexuality, identity, and desire — and how IFS’s commitment to curiosity rather than pathology creates a radically different kind of encounter with these experiences. They discuss sexual transference in the therapy room with unusual candor, the concept of the dignity of risk, the essential importance of a well-held therapeutic container, what attuned sexuality actually looks like when trauma has taught the body that connection isn’t safe, and the difference between seeking reassurance and following a trailhead to what the parts underneath actually need.
