Tools to stay in relationship with your critical parts while you also stay rooted in yourself.
Get your free excerpt from the Inner Critics Companion Guide, to get started.
Over time it’s rebuilding a trusted relationship that softens perfectionism, self-sabotage, shut down, or any other negative experience we keep repeating.
This Guide is for you if:
You’re a therapist, coach, or human doing inner work who holds a lot for others and rarely has space for your own self-exploration.
You are curious about parts work, SE, IFS, or S/IRF, and want a simple way to apply it to yourself.
You feel something in you that tightens, shames, or second-guesses your conscious decisions or desires.
What’s Inside?
TWO CHAPTERS from the Full Guide that includes:
Two short teachings on how to see your critic as a protector part rather than a verdict on who you are.
Two guided somatic practices (audio) to sense your critic in your body without merging with it.
Targeted journaling prompts to explore what it’s afraid of and who it’s trying to protect.
A brief “how to use this” introduction, so you can return to it whenever that voice gets loud.
Print it. Mark it up. Bring it to supervision. Or keep it as a private, offline space that’s just for you.
**This Starter Pack is a small taste of the full Inner Critics Companion Guide – a 38-page workbook with guided audio practices you can return to again and again.

I’m Maureen Gallagher, a somatic psychotherapist, trauma educator, and founder of Somatic Inner Relationship Focusing (S/IRF) – a body-based, compassionate parts-work model integrating Somatic Experiencing and Inner Relationship Focusing.
For decades, I’ve helped people build steadier, kinder relationships with their inner world, especially with the parts they’ve criticized or exiled. I’m a faculty member at Somatic Experiencing International (SEI) and a certified Inner Relationship Focusing Trainer.
This Starter Pack is a simple way to begin (or deepen) a more honest relationship with your own inner critic, or any part of you that feels obscure or distant.
