The Inner Critic Toolkit

Here’s How to Help It Let Go.

This isn't about silencing your Inner Critic. It’s about helping it retire—so your Compassionate True Self can lead.

What If Your Inner Critic Isn’t a "problem" that needs "fixing"?

You know that voice in your head

that says:

- “You’re behind.”

- “You’re not doing enough.”

- “Everyone else is doing better than you.”

That voice—the one that constantly points out your flaws and mistakes—might feel like the enemy.

But what if it’s actually a Part of you trying to protect you?

✅ What if your Inner Critic is a survival response, not a character flaw?

✅ And what if the key to healing it… isn’t fighting harder, but understanding it differently?

You Didn’t “Do This To Yourself”—

You Learned To Survive

This Way

If you’re here, you’re probably:

✅ Exhausted by the voice in your head that never lets up

✅ Feeling like you’re never doing “enough” no matter how hard you try

✅ Blaming yourself for how you feel, how you respond, or how hard it is to just be okay

You might be feeling stuck, discouraged, and disconnected from the parts of yourself that used to feel hopeful.

This isn’t just in your head.

It’s in your nervous system.

It’s in your memory.

It’s in your Parts.

And it makes sense.

Here’s What’s Actually Going On

Your Inner Critic is a Protector Part.

It learned that if it could shame you into doing better… you might avoid rejection, failure, or pain.

So it pushes, pressures, and attacks—not because it hates you, but because it’s afraid.

And yet, shame doesn’t lead to growth.

It leads to survival mode.

And eventually to a freeze state in your nervous system.

That’s why the more the Critic shames you, the worse you feel.

And the worse you feel, the more the Critic takes over.

This is the shame loop.

And it’s why mindset tips, affirmations, or "just stop being so hard on yourself" rarely work.

There’s a Better Way.

You don’t have to shut your Inner Critic down.

You can learn to understand it.

To soothe it.

To give it permission to rest.

And that’s exactly what you’ll do inside:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this live or pre-recorded?

All modules are pre-recorded and self-paced, so you can go through them anytime, at your own rhythm.

Do I need to know Parts Work already?

Not at all. Everything is explained in a clear, beginner-friendly way.

How long do I have access?

You'll have access for as long as the course material is live (and it will be for a long time)

Is this the same as the Befriending Your Parts course/program?

This is a focused mini-course specifically for your Inner Critic. If you’re new, it’s a great starting point. I always recommend the BYP for full transformation healing when it comes to shame, the inner critic and being stuck in survival mode. This is an amazing place to start. I also have “Self-Esteem, Shame, and Your Nervous System”- an incredible workshop you can also get as an addition for only $18 (you'll be guided at check out to add it to your investment).
