Join this curiosity with me as I share personal insights from my own walk while inviting evidence -based professionals from alternative healing modalities to the conversation. This podcast is a sanctuary for the curious and open -minded, offering a safe space to explore innovative methods of recovery. In a world where diagnosis can limit and hinder growth, I emphasize that with faith, all things are possible, and we are not bound by our symptoms.

    Ep. 59 - Unlocking Self-Healing with Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: A Deep Dive with Dr. Tori Olds
    Jun 4 2025
    In this heartfelt and informative episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, your host Diana S. Rice, LMHC, dives into Internal Family Systems (IFS) with the brilliant Dr. Tori Olds—psychologist, educator, singer-songwriter, and co-founder of Deep Eddy Psychotherapy. Diana shares how a single YouTube video titled What is IFS? changed the game for her personal healing and client work. That video? Created by today’s guest, Dr. Tori Olds. Together, they explore the neuroscience behind IFS, how to work with wounded parts (exiles), and why self-compassion—not shame—is the key to healing. Whether you're a therapist, a faith-based practitioner, or someone simply curious about why you procrastinate, rage, people-please, or spiral into perfectionism, this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: What Internal Family Systems therapy actually is (Hint: It's not “multiple personalities”) The difference between protectors (like managers and firefighters) and exiles What the “Self” is in IFS—and how to connect to it The science of memory reconsolidation and how real change is possible How IFS complements faith-based healing (even for those deconstructing rigid religious upbringings) Why your coping behaviors aren’t bad—they’re just trying to help you survive A healing path that integrates body, mind, and soul—without shame Powerful Quotes: “It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about getting to know yourself with compassion.” — Dr. Tori Olds “The more you ignore a part, the more it screams at you. It’s not trying to sabotage you—it’s trying to get your attention.” — Diana S. Rice “Firefighters are there to save your life... but sometimes they break a few windows in the process.” — Dr. Tori Olds “Even with trauma, your true Self is never broken—it’s just buried under protective parts.” — Dr. Tori Olds “Change comes through acceptance, not punishment.” — Dr. Tori Olds Resources Mentioned: Dr. Tori Olds’ YouTube Channel (watch What Is IFS? and other playlists): https://www.youtube.com/@toriolds/videos Playlist: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Go to Tori’s channel > Click “Playlists” > Look for the IFS series Self-Therapy by Jay Earley (IFS-based workbook for individuals) https://amzn.to/3qW5hdb IFS Institute (Find a certified therapist or trainings) https://ifs-institute.com IFS Workbook by Dr. Richard Schwartz https://amzn.to/3r0r7Al IFS & Neuroscience: Watch Dr. Schwartz on the Huberman Lab Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyFffF1z1pE Bible Verses Referenced: Psalm 46:10 – “Be still and know that I am God.” Galatians 5:22-23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control...” Connect with Our Guest: Dr. Tori Olds Website: https://www.toriolds.com YouTube: @DrToriOlds Trainings: https://www.mindingtheheart.com Connect with Diana S.

  • Ep. 58 - Untwisting Spiritual Abuse: How Scripture Gets Weaponized—and How to Heal with Rebecca Davis, Author & Trauma-Informed Christian Book Coach

    Ep. 58 - Untwisting Spiritual Abuse: How Scripture Gets Weaponized—and How to Heal with Rebecca Davis, Author & Trauma-Informed Christian Book Coach
    May 28 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, Diana sits down with Rebecca Davis, author of the Untwisting Scriptures series and a trauma-informed Christian book coach. Together, they tackle the painful but necessary topic of spiritual abuse, how Scripture has been twisted to control and silence victims, and what it really means to experience biblical healing.

    Rebecca shares her own journey into this work, her years of Scripture study, and why she believes that God's heart is always on the side of the oppressed. Listeners will learn about common misused Bible verses, the dangers of church-based mind control, how religious trauma impacts mental health, and how to rebuild faith after church hurt.

    This episode is especially for those wrestling with church trauma, faith deconstruction, or a distorted view of God—and for the Christian counselors and helpers trying to support them.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • The origin story behind the Untwisting Scriptures series

    • Commonly abused Scriptures used to control, silence, or shame victims

    • Why understanding dissociation is crucial for trauma-informed care

    • How religious teachings can reinforce abusive power dynamics

    • The difference between dying to self vs. biblical self-denial

    • The truth about spiritual bypassing, emotional suppression, and sin-leveling

    • How survivors can reclaim their faith without guilt or fear

    • The role of faith in healing from SRA, trafficking, and DID

    Powerful Quotes:

    "Spiritual abuse often begins with three core lies: 'I'm your authority, you have the sin problem, and you need to be quiet.'"

    "Dying to self is not in the Bible. Denying yourself is—but they are not the same."

    "God is not the breaker—He is the healer. Evil breaks. God restores."

    "You don’t have to shrink to glorify God. You can live joyfully and fully in Him."

    "The Scriptures have been used like weapons—but when rightly understood, they’re actually cords of love."

    "Trauma recovery and biblical truth are not at odds—they're powerful allies."
