Naming, Framing, and Gaming:Â The Multiplicity Inside
This session introduces a thoughtful, experience-based way to build psychological safety using principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS), facilitated by Janet Livingstone. IFS is a well-established approach to emotional regulation that helps people understand and work with the different “parts” of themselves that show up under pressure, at work, and in relationships. When these ideas are translated into discreet, gamified activities, they become practical tools for helping people pause, self-regulate, and engage more skillfully with others.
Participants will explore how simple activities using visualization, movement, and even music can make IFS concepts tangible and usable in leadership and team development settings. The session focuses on how intentionally engaging with parts, both our own and others’, creates trust, supports mental health, and opens space for collaboration, humor, and honest conversation. This is not therapy and it is not theoretical. It is a concrete way to design learning experiences that support emotional intelligence and psychological safety in real workplaces.
Takeaway: Psychological safety can be designed and practiced, not just talked about.
