Meet your inner critic, your inner teen, and your inner shadow in this engaging guide to taming anxiety, healing trauma, and overcoming self-doubt with Parts Work

What is “Parts Work”?

You contain multitudes. At any given moment, your inner critic might be questioning whether you’re an imposter, and your inner child might be yearning for compassion and self-care. These parts don’t make you broken—they make you human. Parts Work allows you an all-access pass to wholeness by understanding, befriending, and leading the multiple voices within yourself.

In this eye-opening and practical guide, psychotherapist Britt Frank introduces you to your parts: from impulsive inner parts and shadowy hidden parts to your inner child and more. You’ll learn to listen to the conversations inside yourself and identify the core needs behind your habits and behaviors. Using tools and exercises ranging from self-dialogue to embodiment techniques and more, you’ll discover new ways to nurture and harmonize these inner voices—even when you feel overwhelmed and low in motivation.

Grounded in the latest research on Parts Work and Internal Family Systems, and offering proven techniques from Frank’s clinical practice and personal challenges, this engaging guide is a user manual to your own mind—and presents a road map for finding peace, confidence, and a deeper understanding of who you truly are.
