Internal Family Systems as a Proven Treatment for Burnout
– Podcast Episode with Katie LaCelle
How Internal Family Systems (IFS) Can Help You Break Free from Burnout & Reclaim Balance
If you're a therapist, coach, or high-achiever feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your purpose, or stuck in a relentless cycle of overgiving—this podcast episode is a must-listen.
In The Positively Living Podcast, Katie LaCelle shares how IFS can be a powerful, trauma-informed approach to healing burnout, compassion fatigue, and the internal pressure to always do more. The episode, titled Internal Family Systems as a Proven Treatment for Burnout, explores how IFS can help professionals like you reclaim energy, restore boundaries, and reconnect with self-trust.
IFS is more than mindset work. It's a nervous system-friendly model that acknowledges and supports the different “parts” within us—like the high-performing part that pushes through and the fearful part that’s scared of slowing down. When these parts are in conflict, burnout becomes almost inevitable. This episode shows how IFS helps you release the burden of those parts, rather than trying to force your way past them.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why burnout isn’t just from overwork—but from internal conflict
How to identify and heal the parts of you that drive people-pleasing and overworking
The link between self-worth, burnout, and emotional exhaustion
How to apply IFS techniques to create a sustainable, values-aligned career
Whether you're navigating burnout as a therapist or building a business as a coach, this conversation offers deep insight and real strategies to support your healing journey.
