In this powerful episode of Going Inside, trauma therapist John Clarke sits down with award-winning educator Tim Amaral to explore how trauma-informed practices can transform education. Tim shares his journey from martial arts instructor to adult educator, revealing the development of the Self-Led Classroom model and its deep integration of IFS (Internal Family Systems) principles. Together, they discuss how safety, connection, and a sense of belonging are essential for meaningful learning. If you've ever questioned traditional education or wondered how to reach students or clients who’ve been left behind, this episode will expand your perspective—and your heart.

🌿 Key takeaways:

• The true key to academic success and how traditional education often fails the very kids who need it most
• How love, belonging, and attachment show up (or don’t) in classrooms
• Is it possible for a trauma-informed classroom to flip the script on behavior “management”?
• Why learning doesn’t happen until attachment does—and how most systems get that backwards.

In this conversation, John Clarke brings together a panel of colleagues and co-authors to dive into their new book, Opening the Inner World. Together, they explore where Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy meets the spiritual insights of Emanuel Swedenborg. The panel shares their own journeys, the transformative impact of IFS, and how Swedenborg’s teachings on the inner self and divine inflow can deepen our understanding of trauma and healing. They also discuss the nature of consciousness, the power of inner dialogue, and the role of spirit in our lives — highlighting how self-awareness and a connection to the divine can open the door to profound healing and growth.

🌿 Key takeaways:

1. Uncover how blending IFS and Swedenborg’s teachings can open new pathways to deep emotional and spiritual healing.
2. See trauma through a new lens by understanding it as part of a larger spiritual experience, not just a psychological wound.
3. Experience a fresh perspective on how your spiritual and physical selves are constantly interacting and shaping your life.
4. Recognize how the illusion of separation keeps us stuck — and how reconnecting with your true self (and helping your clients do the same) brings lasting change.
