The Inner Critic is rarely just a voice.

Inner criticism often shows up with very real bodily states.

Shutdown.
Freeze.
Collapse.
Inhibition.

In the SEI short program **Your Inner Critic: It’s Time to Be Re-Introduced**, participants learn to recognize how inner criticism organizes in the nervous system and how these states reflect protective survival responses rather than personal failure.

This course supports practitioners in tracking the physiology of shame and inhibition, and in learning how to work with both the critic and the part being criticized in a regulated, relational way.

Dates: March 18, 25, April 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: Wednesdays, 5 to 7 pm EST
Format: Live online, recordings available

Registration is available through Somatic Experiencing International.

Inner criticism can be a protective autonomic response.

In Somatic Experiencing, we understand symptoms as meaningful responses shaped by survival.

Inner criticism is no different.

In **Your Inner Critic: It’s Time to Be Re-Introduced**, faculty member Dr. Maureen Gallagher invites participants to explore the inner critic not as an enemy to overcome, but as a *protective autonomic strategy* shaped by fear, inhibition, and unfinished survival responses to learn to relate to.

This short program offers a way to work with inner criticism somatically and relationally, tracking how it shows up in the nervous system and learning how to meet it with regulation rather than pressure.

Dates: March 18, 25, April 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: Wednesdays, 5 to 7 pm EST
Format: Live online, recordings available

Experiencing consistent self-criticism? Take this course.

"The volume of my self-criticism has gone way down, almost extinct. And when it does show up, I know exactly what to do - relate, be with (not fix or exile).”
— Alicia Cole

This course is designed for practitioners who regularly notice inner criticism shaping nervous system responses.

You may see this when clients:

- Become inhibited or shut down under pressure
- Experience shame that leads to collapse or avoidance
- Feel stuck between self-criticism and inaction

In **Your Inner Critic: It’s Time to Be Re-Introduced**, participants learn to work with these patterns as protective responses rather than problems to fix.

The focus is on supporting regulation, pacing, and relational safety when inner criticism is active.

Dates: March 18, 25, April 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: Wednesdays, 5 to 7 pm EST
Format: Live online, recordings available

Price: $750

“My inner critic wasn’t a voice. It was a set of physical sensations.”

For many people, inner criticism does not arrive as words.

It shows up as tightness, pressure, collapse, or a familiar shutdown in the body.

Inside **Your Inner Critic Re-Introduced,** participants learn how to recognize these somatic expressions of inner criticism and work with them directly, rather than bypassing or overriding them.

As one past participant shared:

“I’ve found a great deal of comfort in understanding that my inner critic isn’t a voice with words, but a set of physical sensations and feelings, so that now I can work with it directly instead of ignoring or dismissing the sensations.”

The Official Page of Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Institute

The Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE™ approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
