That One Time with Adam Metwally

That One Time Podcast - Episode with Matt Defina

In this episode of That One Time, I am joined by my therapist, Matt Defina, to discuss the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Through just 6 sessions with Matt exploring IFS, it has impacted me more than 5 years of conventional therapy.

In this episode, Matt shares his own journey from corporate burnout to becoming a full-time therapist, emphasizing the importance of healing the body and mind together. We also end with a live therapy session to show you first-hand what an IFS session looks like.
