FAQs

Honestly, this is perfect for anyone who is not feeling great about themselves, and who wants to learn effective tools to build long-lasting self-esteem, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion. Basically if you want to heal so that you can finally feel good to be you, and feel safe within yourself and with others, then this is for you.

The Befriending Your Parts Framework has 3 levels of support. All of the tiers have the course material (videos, workbooks and guided practices) and community support. If you’d like additional support, the 2nd tier has the addition of 2 weekly group calls and the ability to message me directly. And, if you’d like the utmost support, the 3rd tier includes 1:1 sessions with me on top of the weekly group calls, course material and community support.

 

No! All you need is, your phone or laptop (and the option of a pen and journal if you like to write by hand)! And most importantly, a willingness to learn and practice the tools you learn.

You can expect to see a lot of change, especially from month 3-6. I’ve been carefully following all the students who’ve gone through The Befriending Your Parts Framework. I also do follow ups with them 3 months and 6 months after to see if the progress is maintaining. The best part is: It seems to get better and better as the months go by. When you learn to retrain and rewire, the healing becomes exponential. Option 2 is the most popular option and is extremely effective.

The course material could be done within 3-4 months if you worked on it for 1 per week. I do not recommend rushing the material, as you want to rewire and retrain the brain and nervous system. It needs time and repetition to do this effectively. However, those who want access to the groups have access for 6 months, as I’ve found that the 6-month frame ensures immense healing and support throughout the healing journey.

 

This is so common and natural to feel this way. However, a huge part of healing is about learning to feel safe with others (who are respectful of you). I have a conversation with everyone who joins so that it’s a safe space for all. The students all talk about how safe it is in The Befriending Your Parts Framework and how this is helping them to heal because they no longer feel alone in it.

Yes! Nervous System Regulation is a fundamental component that always gets overlooked when addressing low Self-Esteem. The Befriending Your Parts Framework will give you the tools you can use for the rest of your life.

The reflection exercises are essential for healing. However, you don’t need to write. You can think or talk aloud to yourself. It’s really about processing. Writing helps to process really well, yet it’s not necessary!

The important thing is that you listen to your body — If it doesn’t eel like the right time to do that exercise, honour that. You can skip any exercise you need to in that moment. There is no pass or fail in The Befriending Your Parts Framework!

It felt important (as a trauma therapist) for me to create a framework that spoke to the effects of trauma and nervous system dysregulation, as this is what is often the root of low self-esteem. I offer reminders at the beginning of each module to listen to the videos in the ways that feel ok for you, to pause when something does not feel ok, and to take as many breaks as possible. The videos are also digestible and easy to understand. My aim in the community is to create a safe space, both through my videos content and also in how I show up for you. I’m here for you the whole way! 

Many of the students who are in The Befriending Your Parts Framework have experienced some form of trauma/attachment wound, as Self-Esteem is often a symptom of trauma and attachment wounds. We get to the root in The Befriending Your Parts Framework in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Testimonials

"After working with Chantal and taking her self-esteem course, I finally feel like I'm on the road to discovering self-compassion. I have spent many years struggling to get out of bed in the morning because my self-worth was so low.

I thought it was as "simple" as depression but I quickly began to understand the negative messages that were deeply anchored in me that were causing me to want to hide in my bed all day. Understanding parts work has given me the ability to name what I have been struggling with for so long and have the tools to overcome self-esteem crashes much quicker. I am getting to a point with the support of Chantal where I am not as afraid of my emotions.

I feel stronger to allow them knowing I am safe and will be ok because I am understanding the parts of me that are in play. It is still a journey and I am still working through re-framing the messages that are engrained in my neural pathways but with the tools I have from understanding my parts and the nervous system work that I also learned in the course, I am feeling so much stronger, more compassionate towards myself, and my mornings are becoming brighter.

When the darkness settles in, because life is not perfect, I know I have the tools to help me, and I am forever grateful to Chantal for helping me get to this point.

I had done therapy for a few years before meeting Chantal, and I have gotten to this point in only a few months since starting the course and having her support. So so grateful!!!" AND TWO MONTHS LATER SHE WROTE: “It's been a few months now since I finished the Befriending Your Parts workshop from Chantal and I didn't know how much better it would get. Sometimes we finish courses, you feel good for a bit and then you forget about the information but I have found that I am integrating more and more from the course as I navigate difficult situations that would have normally caused me major self-esteem crashes. I find that I am stronger and stronger as I continually integrate the information from the course. So if you're wondering if this course is worth it in the long run, I'm an example that it is. Thank you to Chantal for the amazing support/ I feel like I'm a newer, stronger person (and I'm saying this as I'm navigating through a trigger to my self-esteem!! Goes to show the power of having this knowledge, understanding, and support!)”

"This self-compassion course is very helpful for putting together many of the pieces necessary for healing goodism, over-giving of oneself, and perfectionism. It guides you through understanding your patterns, why they developed how helpful they were, and whether they are still helpful. It guides you to learn about how to change those patterns through engaging with self-compassion, understanding the physical signs of those patterns and ways to address them, learning about boundaries as an act of self-compassion, and more. This course is very in-depth and self-reinforcing, circling back to topics along the way to build familiarity and ease with these new concepts. It also invites you, through various activities, to engage experientially, so the learning can be FELT, not just understood."

"The Befriending Your Parts Framework works! I never thought I would ever say I like myself. I never thought I would ever say I care for my wellbeing.
I never thought I would ever say I am worthy.
I not only say things these things now, but I believe them too! Thank you, Chantal. You have been so warm and supportive to me. I came to you feeling hopeless and you showed me the way."
- Susan Whyte
"I found this course amazing, full of useful knowledge and tools. It has made me think about myself and all the different parts of myself in a better light. I love how the modules build on one another. By the 3rd Module (on Inner Critics and other Parts related to low Self-Esteem), I began to see some shifts in how I talk to myself. This had me ready for the next Module on Self-Compassion (which could have been a course in and of itself) and I loved it so much (I did it twice, tbh). I also appreciate the in-depth exploration of my wounds (the parts of me that feel not enough) in Module 5 and I liked that it came right after the Self-Compassion Module with tools to treat all the parts of me like I would a good friend. Module 5 built on the “why” of our low self-esteem is initially summarized in the first Intro Module. I found the tools to heal wounds around not feeling enough helpful and I’m still using many of them regularly. I love the final module that ties it all together. Thanks so much, Chantal!! I know how much work you put into this."
