Intuitive Self: IFS + Intuition + Spirituality with Natalie Deering15 Kesä

Quieting the Storm Within: A Conversation with Ashley Booth

In this episode, I’m joined by J. Ashley T. Booth for a fascinating conversation about her unconventional journey from studying oceanography to becoming deeply immersed in the worlds of Internal Family Systems, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and consciousness exploration.

We also explore her beautiful book, Quieting the Storm Within — a visually engaging and accessible introduction to IFS for both teens and adults. Together, we discuss the power of visual learning in healing, why curiosity and compassion are central to inner work, and how Ashley is helping make parts work more approachable through creativity, metaphor, and a fresh language for understanding our internal system.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Ashley’s life transition from oceanography to the healing world of IFS and psychedelics • How Burning Man catalyzed a profound shift in her personal and spiritual path • Psychedelics as a bridge from the material world into the mystical • Quieting the Storm Within as an illustrated guide to understanding IFS for teens and adults • The metaphor of Self as the sun and parts as the clouds passing by • Why visual learning can be transformative, especially for individuals with dyslexia • Interactive activities woven throughout the book to deepen self-exploration • Helping readers cultivate curiosity and compassion toward their internal world • How principles of Nonviolent Communication are integrated throughout the book • Ashley’s decision to reframe protector parts as helpers, including proactive helpers and reactive helpers
