I’m doing 4 very important things here.⬇️

1️⃣ I’m moving my body to release stored sympathetic energy.

As a trauma therapist, I hold a lot of heavy emotional material throughout the day.

And as a deep feeler and empath, releasing stress from my body is essential for my health.

2️⃣ I’m being playful.

Play is a signal of safety. It helps your system remember: the present moment can be safe enough.

And for me, it also gives my Inner Child space to play. I’ve done a lot of healing around my own shame and Inner Critic, and I love letting that younger, and now freer, inner child have room to play.

3️⃣ I’m listening to music that carries a positive felt memory.

Because your system learns through association.

When you pair movement + a safe memory, you’re giving your system a new pathway back to okay-ness and safety.

4️⃣ And most importantly, I’m actively visualizing my body releasing stress.

I’m not just moving here, even though it looks like it. I’m training my system to let go.

As a deep feeler, especially in these times, this is essential.

No performing. No proving. Just being alive in my body. And dancing like a woman in her mid-40s.😉

This is nervous system resilience.

Learning to feel safe in the present moment,
and coming back to safety over and over and over again.

This is a part of the work we do inside The Befriending Your Parts Framework.

What do you love most about Parts Work/IFS? Let me know!💙

This was responding to a student’s question on the weekly Befriending Your Parts Support Call, and we followed this up with a guided practice.

Because when it comes to healing shame, IFS is one of my favourite modalities.

I combine it with Nervous System healing, Self-Compassion, Heart Coherence, and Attachment Healing.

It’s why I named my program “The Befriending Your Parts Framework.”

Inside The Befriending Your Parts Framework, we do internal and external attachment healing — because this is what heals shame.

The Ruminating Part is deeply protective.

And this is a common Part when there’s shame.

Comment “COURSES” for the link. 💙

After 21 years of specializing in shame, this is what I feel most confident in saying: To heal shame, you have to start with the
nervous system.

And that involves way more than nervous system regulation. It’s about rewiring.

And that’s what my $37 course on sale now aims to do.

At checkout, add “The Inner Critic Toolkit” (my 2-hour IFS course) for $18.

Add “Heart Coherence for Shame & Self-Worth” (the greatest tool I’ve ever trained in) for $22 more.

A ton of healing for $77.💙

These courses are all smaller pieces of the larger framework: The Befriending Your Parts Framework.

If any of this resonated with you, you were definitely not alone in that. There has been so much misinformation around how to work with the Inner Critic.

And I’ve both personally and professionally been very well acquainted with the Inner Critic.

And now, thankfully, my Inner Critics have been taking really long naps for a very long time.

How many of these feel deeply familiar? Let me know.💙

Shame doesn’t always show up as “I hate myself.” More often it shows up as the anxiety that won’t settle, the inner critic that won’t quiet, the exhaustion of managing how you come across, the feeling that no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough.

This list isn’t a diagnosis. And experiencing any one of these doesn’t mean shame is automatically at play.

(However, I feel pretty confident in saying that there’s likely shame at play.)

When shame is present in the system, you”ll likely recognize yourself in several of them.

And here’s what’s so important to understand.

Shame isn’t something “bad” or another thing to be ashamed of.

It’s a survival response that gets wired into the nervous system.

So while you might notice it through your thoughts, the loud inner critic, the constant self-doubt, the replaying, those thoughts are actually the last domino to fall.

The shame started long before the thought. It lives in the nervous system and survival brain first. Which is why trying to heal shame by changing your thoughts alone never quite reaches the root.

In 21 years as a licensed therapist specializing in shame, there are a few things I’ve learned.

Shame requires certain important steps to heal. And the order of those steps matters deeply.

Inside my free webinar, I walk you through those steps and introduce you to the Befriending Your Parts Framework, which helps empaths and highly sensitive humans heal shame, calm their Inner Critic and exit survival mode.
