Giving & Receiving Feedback Course

About This Course

Why does feedback feel so hard?

Whether you brace for criticism, avoid giving it, or leave difficult conversations replaying on loop — your internal system is doing exactly what it was built to do: protect you. This course explores the deeply human experience of giving and receiving feedback through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS).
You'll learn to recognize which parts of you activate when someone offers feedback — the exile who carries old wounds from judgment, the manager who works hard to stay perfect, the firefighter who shuts down or deflects. And you'll practice leading from Self: that calm, curious, compassionate center that can stay present even when it's hard.
This isn't a course about communication tips. It's an inner journey — into the places where feedback has hurt, and the places where honest, caring exchange can become one of the most profound acts of connection in your relationships.

Learning Outcomes

Understand how your parts — exiles, managers, firefighters — shape your reactions to feedback, and how Self-leadership transforms them.
Offer feedback with clarity, care, and courage — speaking from Self rather than from the urgency of a protector.
Develop the discernment to know when feedback is safe to give or receive — and the self-respect to protect yourself when it isn't.
Receive feedback — even clumsy or unfair criticism — with resilience, staying curious about what it reveals.
Heal from past experiences of harsh criticism, shaming, or being unseen — and unburden the parts still carrying those wounds.
Recognize when a relationship can't hold honest exchange — and find the wisdom to know what to do with that truth.
