Description

In this episode, Rick dives into the evolving and sometimes murky intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and financial coaching, raising critical questions about where the line is drawn between coaching and therapy. He explores the growing interest in using IFS-informed language and concepts—like parts work—in coaching settings, even as concerns mount about untrained coaches inadvertently wading into therapeutic territory. With transparency about the current shifts in IFS training access, Rick offers a thoughtful look at both the promise and pitfalls of this integration. Whether you’re a coach, therapist, or simply IFS-curious, this episode sheds light on how the language of parts can deepen financial conversations—while reminding us that healing exiles may require more than curiosity alone.
