EP2 · Niti

The voice that scolds you may be scared for you

In IFS, this voice is the part trying to keep you from slipping up. Watch Niti’s episode, then read why arguing with it only makes it louder.

What colour is your heart today?

A clay-art cover for an emotion journal: an orange ball ringed by small clay feelings — a teardrop, a heart, a storm cloud, a sprout.

Pick the colour of the feeling, shape it with your fingertip, then set down what you don’t want to carry. No one sees it but you.

Each day’s colour is kept, so you can look back over the whole week.

The approach we use

The whole idea, in three pieces

There’s no such thing as a bad part of you.

No part is bad

The critic, the rager, the one that exhausts you — none of them are what they seem. They’re stuck in roles they took on to protect you. Underneath, every part wants things to be better.

You have parts

The tightness in your chest, the looping thought, the sudden “I don’t care” — these are doorways. Follow one with curiosity and you’ll find the part it’s coming from.

There’s a calm you, too

Beneath the noise is your Self — the part that can be curious, calm, and kind. The wise one who has been there before and can simply sit with whatever comes up.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to prepare anything for the first talk?

Nothing at all. If you do not know where to begin, that is fine — we can start from there together. Just find a quiet place where you can talk comfortably for about 30 minutes.

Do I have to turn my camera on?

No. When you book, you choose a video call (Google Meet) or a phone call. On a video call, camera on or off is up to you.

Is what I share kept confidential?

Yes. We do not share what you tell us with anyone, including your family, employer or school, without your consent. The only exceptions are the few the law requires, such as a serious risk of harm to you or someone else. The details are in our terms of service.

What does it cost after the free 30 minutes?

After the first session you can choose: pay per session with no sign-up fee, or go Premium for 40–50% off every session and cancel any time. Prices depend on the session length and the kind of service — see them all on Pricing & Packages. You do not have to decide now: talk first, then choose.

How is a psychologist different from a psychiatrist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose and prescribe medication. Our psychologists help you through conversation and IFS therapy; they do not diagnose or prescribe. If we see along the way that you would benefit from a psychiatrist’s care, we will tell you plainly and help refer you, and we can keep working with you alongside them if you would like.

Can teenagers under 18 get counseling?

Yes. We work with teenagers from age 13. Anyone under 20 needs a parent’s or guardian’s consent before starting. Parents hear about overall progress, but not the details of what their teen shares, unless the teen agrees or it is a matter of safety. Read more
