A slightly bonkers but deeply heartfelt attempt to mix playfulness with IFS insight — meeting my ‘inner parts’ around the kitchen table (with a little help from my son).

So… I’ve been making a new video series called The Round Table — short, videos I film with my middle son Toby (the nearly 18-year-old one who mostly tolerates my antics) and put together by my colleague, Saba 🧡

The idea? To bring Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to life in a playful, relatable way — especially for younger people who might never have heard of it.

My latest one is a Halloween special 🎃👻 — complete with serious, chilled and mischievous protectors, over-excited performers, and at least one part who thinks this whole thing is way too cringe.

I’ve added a few at the bottom of the page….

Why I’m doing it (and what my parts think about it)

Honestly, it’s a bit of a leap….

I’m a psychotherapist, not a YouTuber/ Instagram expert … but there’s a big part of me that wants to spread the IFS word in ways that are accessible, creative, and fun… then there are all the other parts.

🙈 Parts that are excruciatingly embarrassed to be on camera (“Hide! Delete that one now, redo it!”) and find the whole learning how to do captions and reels and posts overwhelming! (bear with me)
😬 Parts that fear judgment — “Who does she think she is?”
🇬🇧 A very proper British legacy part whispering, “We don’t do that sort of thing over here.”
US and IE - And then my Vaudeville/Broadway/performance loving American and Irish ancestors yelling, “Oh yes we do!”
🎭 My activist and therapist parts waving flags for connection, healing, and Self-leadership.
☀️And at my core, theres me who just wants people to get how transformative IFS can be.

Also worth mentioning: I’m neurodivergent (AuDHD) — which means this whole project is chaotic, perfectly imperfect, highly creative, and 100% fuelled by impulse and passion.

Want to join in the fun?

There’ll be a new Round Table most Mondays on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube https://www.facebook.com/natashawilsonpsychotherapy/ and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/natashawilson.ifspsychotherapy/

I’d love it if you’d follow, share, or send to someone who might enjoy a dose of therapy-meets-comedy. Maybe we can team up and collaborate.. Next year the focus at our Drop Ins will be all about IFS and relationships- with sprinklings of RLT and polyvagal mixed in.

…

Maybe a good way to meet your parts… is to identify with someone else and have some fun. 🧡
