In this episode of The Faith Roundtable, host Josh Burtram (co-host of the Faithful Politics Podcast) sits down with Dr. Audrey Davidheiser, licensed psychologist, IFS clinical consultant, and author of Grieving Wholeheartedly (InterVarsity Press).
Dr. Davidheiser explains Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a groundbreaking way of understanding our inner world of “parts”—the managers, firefighters, and exiles inside us—and how they impact grief, trauma, and faith. Together, we explore:
✅ What grief really is and why it can’t be ignored
✅ How suppressed grief shows up in relationships, faith, and even our bodies
✅ The surprising role of protectors like shame, skepticism, and religious pressure
✅ How Christians can hold joy, holiness, and happiness together without guilt
✅ Practical steps for inviting every part of yourself into the process of healing
If you’ve ever wrestled with loss, religious trauma, or shame, this conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for moving forward.
