Sweet Sobriety is partnering with Vanessa Kredler for a workshop in March!
BEFRIENDING YOUR INNER CRITIC WITH INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
When weâre struggling with food, eating, and body concerns, we often find a loud inner critic inside of us. Inner critics can be relentless and persistent in demanding improvement, perfection, and action. Their high expectations lead to a lot of internal conflict and feelings of anxiety, anger, shame, and a sense of worthlessness. Thatâs why we hear so much advice on how to âsilenceâ, âbeatâ, âconquerâ or âfightâ your inner criticâ! But what happens if we try to befriend our inner critic? What would it be like to change our relationship with it so that it could become our ally? In three live experiential sessions, you will learn about your inner critic through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate and curious form of psychotherapy, which has been used to support people struggling with food and eating and body image concerns since the 1980s and has gained a lot of attention in recent years.
What youâll get:
âď¸3 x 75-minute live sessions including education and guided practice
âď¸Opportunity to share your experience with group members
âď¸Suggestions for creative homeplay in between sessions
âď¸Recordings of the sessions if you couldn't join live
âď¸Downloadable slides
What youâll learn:
âď¸Gain a basic understanding of Internal Family Systems (IFS)
