46 | Cultivating Self-Acceptance through Parts Work with Celine Redfield, LMFT

If you struggle with a mean inner critic, then this episode is for you, buddy. Unfortunately, it won’t offer a magic solution or quick fix to ridding yourself of that inner voice, but it will help explain what the fuck is going on and offer a pathway to a life filled with greater self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-care.

In this conversation with art therapist and marriage and family therapist Celine Redfield (they/them), we walk through the concepts of shadow work, parts work, and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework. (Spoiler: all of those are basically the same thing with different names!) We also touch on dissociation as a coping strategy, recovering from alcoholism and addiction, creative healing modalities, and our own lived experiences of parts work – both as recipients and facilitators.

Major conclusion? Parts work is the magic sauce for lessening the cruelty of the inner critic and healing our childhood wounds.
