MASTERCLASS SIX
Your Inner Critic as LOVE!
Monday 3rd October
Hi lovely ones,
Welcome to Masterclass 6 - Your Inner Critic as LOVE!
In this session we continued our explorations and understanding of the our system through the lens of Internal Family Systems. And we went inwards and actually met one of your Protectors directly. It was such a powerful session. Much of the sharing wasn’t recorded to protect the groups privacy but I strongly recommend exploring the masterclass and taking time to dive into the meditation and meet your inner system.
I hope you find this session and the resources supportive.

BONUS RESOURCE
A recorded 1:1 Internal Family Systems Session with an Inner Alchemy Programme Client…
It can be really hard to grasp what happens in an IFS Session, how it works and how it might be different to alternative therapies. One of my Clients very kindly and courageously offered to have a recorded session so you can get a sense of how we work in this process. I recommend finding a quiet space to listen to this session (around 1 hour long)…

Your Next Steps…
I invite you to keep connecting to your parts and fleshing them out
Remember that the healing comes when the system recognises adult Self energy – so the more we connect with our Parts, the more we can help bring this
Can you notice when Parts are coming up during daily life?
Can you speak for not from your parts – ‘A Part of me....’
Get playful and curious as you notice – how many parts can you notice in a day?
Explore the Parts meditation to connect to your Protector and other parts. There are two different meditations here that you can follow. Start creating a log of the parts that you meet (you can see the log example above too and in the Masterclass presentation).
