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.Connect with CelineVisit their website: https://innergrowththerapy.com/Follow them on Instagram @InnergrowththerapyHave a convo with me!Grab a free, 30-minute chemistry call: https://tidycal.com/cate/chemistry-callBook a $75 sample session to dive in and do some work together: https://tidycal.com/cate/sample-sessionEmail me at cate[at]settlingisbullshit.comRead the transcript and view the detailed shownotes at: https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/06/26/cultivating-self-acceptance-through-parts-work-with-celine-redfield-lmft/
