My Therapist Gets Real With Me! Interview and Live Therapy Session With Matt Defina

Here's a conversation with Matt Defina (@mattdefina_), my podcast guest this week on That One Time with Adam Metwally.

Matt is a transformational coach, organisational psychologist, and founder of Another Way. He specialises in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, guiding people to unlock their true potential by connecting with their inner selves and healing emotional wounds. Matt's work has helped countless individuals navigate life’s challenges with a deeper sense of purpose, clarity, and self-love.

Below are some of the key concepts we explored in the episode:

1. How IFS therapy can help you connect with and heal different parts of yourself to reach your true potential.

2. Why self-love and acceptance are essential for personal growth and the role of solo travel in finding clarity.

3. The transformative power of psychedelics when used responsibly for self-discovery and mental healing.
