Support your clients in gently unblending from busy parts—while staying grounded in  Self.

Overview​

This trauma-informed digital toolkit is designed specifically for therapists, coaches, and healing professionals who work with high-functioning clients. These are the clients who show up polished, capable, and emotionally distant—while protector parts like the Prover, Pleaser, or Rescuer quietly run the show.

​

Beyond the Armor gives you practical, compassionate tools to:

  • Normalize protector-led behavior without pathologizing

  • Introduce parts work in accessible language

  • Help clients explore their internal system with curiosity and care

  • Stay rooted in your own Self-energy while holding busy systems

What's Inside​

Organized into 5 therapist-focused sections, this toolkit is both educational and immediately usable in session.

​

This downloadable toolkit includes a mix of clinical insights, IFS-informed language, client-friendly worksheets, and therapist reflection tools—all created to support your work with high-functioning, protector-led clients.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Educational content to help you reframe overfunctioning through a parts-based lens

  • Assessment prompts and intake tools to explore “busy parts” with clients

  • Downloadable worksheets and visuals for use in session or as homework

  • Reflection tools to help you stay grounded in your own Self-energy while navigating client intensity

 Whether you’re introducing parts work or supporting deep unblending, this toolkit meets you with structure, flexibility, and compassion.

Toolkit Includes:

  • IFS-informed psychoeducation on busy parts (Prover, Pleaser, Rescuer, etc.)

  • Assessment tools to explore overfunctioning patterns with clients

  • Client-friendly scripts and session language for introducing parts work

  • Clinician reflection prompts for staying in Self during activated sessions

  • Printable worksheets to support insight and healing inside and outside the therapy room

Who It’s For

This toolkit is ideal for:

  • Therapists integrating IFS or parts work

  • Social workers, counselors, and coaches who work with high-achievers

  • Healing professionals doing their own inner work while holding space for others

  • Group facilitators and clinical supervisors needing session-ready tools

Whether you’re in early rapport-building or deeper unburdening work, this toolkit meets both you and your client’s system with care—not pressure.

And for you? It's a way to stay resourced, reflective, and relational in the room.
