IFS for Caregivers with Cheryl Field

Tammy Sollenberger
About this episode

This episode is sponsored by Pisgah Coaching Institute founded by IFS-trained Master Coach, Brian Jaudon. Enrollment is now open for 2025 season! To learn more go to: Landing Page | Pisgah Coaching

On today's episode I chat with Cheryl Field, a nurse, author, and speaker who has worked in healthcare for over 35 years. She cared for seniors needing rehabilitation after hospitalization, and later applied that passion to clinical technology companies. International Best-selling author of Prepared! A Healthcare Guide for Aging Adults, Cheryl spends her empty nesting time speaking at grand rounds for clinical teams, local libraries, 55+ communities, and senior centers on a variety of topics related to senior care. 

We talk about:

  • How she uses IFS in her nursing work to help heal trauma in healthcare professionals and promote self-care

  • Befriending parts with self-doubt and fear of embarrassment while training for a half marathon 

  • Noticing and getting to know parts

  • Small, intentional acts of joy and self-care for caregivers' resilience

  • Prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout

  • Caregivers should identify what recharges them and prioritize it, even if it means saying no to other requests

  • Recognizing and addressing trauma in nursing

  • The importance of having a plan for managing health transitions, especially for those over 50
