They discuss key insights into healing deep emotional wounds, the role of relationships in trauma recovery, and how “blending” (or being in certain states) in IFS can be one of the biggest challenges we face. Dr. Le Doze shares his approach to healing through the power of connection, integrating IFS with polyvagal theory and Self-led co-regulation.

On today's episode I chat with Dr. François Le Doze, MD. He is a psychotherapist, an IFS therapist, and trainer and has been a neurologist for nearly thirty years in a teaching Hospital in Caen, France. He has always been interested in the relationship between the body and mind, and his knowledge of neuroscience allows him to integrate recent neuroscientific findings into his psychotherapy practice. He's actively developing a model of psychotherapy called Relational Intelligence® based on his clinical experience and expertise.
