I’m training in Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) facilitation with Mettagroup and am looking for people who’d like to try the practice with me.
I’m offering a free series of six 1:1 sessions. After that, you can continue on a donation basis.

trying to get better at explaining what this whole thing is about. Also revamped the website etc.
(with deep gratitude for Claude and all the water that was used)

I find this old 2019 recording to be a very clear explanation of the IPF path

The distribution of attachment strategies in non-clinical populations really shocked me because it's seems so different from the "inner work" community.
(apparently, two-thirds of secure people have insecure features tho)

Something about the way people use “nervous system” feels off to me.
“My nervous system is dysregulated” instead of “I am feeling off today.”
Thanks so much for all the interest! I have to close sign-ups now :(
If you’ve already booked, your appointment still stands.
For future session drops, group meditations, and other offerings, I will prioritize people on the mailing list!

My personal IPF practice is shifting from getting what I want to seeing that I don’t need anything.

thanks @Thomasdelvasto_
for getting me back on the Dan Brown train. I binge all of his content every 2 months haha.

The main learning (for me) was that the priority is to establish attachment security before going into trauma.

No exaggeration, this guy might be the best interview in pro sports right now
It really is about being "secure enough" to explore :)
My meditation/attachment teacher said that once people have meaningful pursuits and relationships in place, they'll stop IPF anyway, regardless of transference.

“All of us, from the cradle to the grave, are happiest when life is organized as a series of excursions, long or short, from the secure base provided by our attachment figure(s).” - John bowlby

My IPF work is moving into a new phase: getting better at understanding the attachment representation beneath the imaginal scene, then finding a prompt that gives the person enough structure to explore their own solution.

Personal IPF report: primordial anticipation for your being.
In a recent practice, I imagined my mother telling me how excited she'd been to finally meet me and get to be my mother. The whole community was curious about me, excited to discover who I was.

This felt like a primordial welcome: the world excited to get know me even before I was born, wondering who I might be.
It was like the simulation itself wanted me to come into existence just to see what I was like.

Practicing the Grief Protocol has been surprisingly fun.
The art is finding the unconscious “hook” that makes a problem feel unresolvable, then helping the person see it clearly enough that the resolution unfolds on its own.

I’m building skills in three protocols for my IPF practice:
• Grief/Unresolved Conflict
• Adult Secure Intimacy (requires secure attachment)
• Social Anxiety
