Exiles are the parts of ourselves that we&#8217;re most likely to hide because we don\u2019t want to experience their hurt or shame. For example, imagine you were yelled at for crying when you were a young child. This might create an exiled part of you that feels shame anytime you cry in front of other people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While the language of \u201cexile\u201d is unique to IFS, the concept of an inner child is not. First coined by psychologist Carl Jung, the concept cuts across different types of therapy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/inner-child#ask-questions\">many therapists advocate for the importance of getting to know our own&nbsp; \u201cinner child.\u201d<\/a> For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/psycheandsomatherapy.com\/what-is-inner-child-work\/\">inner child work is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach<\/a> that focuses exclusively on exploring the feelings, needs, and experiences of a younger and more vulnerable version of ourselves\u2014our inner child. The goal is to help individuals develop a more compassionate and accepting relationship with themselves and their past experiences. Therapy can include a range of activities, from journaling and visualization to role-playing or play therapy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Protectors <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Where there are exiles, there are <em>always<\/em> protectors.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">Protectors are the parts of ourselves that take on the role of defending our exiles from future hurt. For example, if there was an exile that felt shame for crying publicly, there might be a protector who shows up when the exile is feeling especially sad who tells the exile to \u201csuck it up.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: initial;\">Schwartz distinguishes between two types of protectors<\/span><em style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: initial;\">: <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><p><em style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: initial;\">Managers<\/em><span style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: initial;\"> are protective parts that act preemptively to keep us safe by attempting to control our environment\u2014carefully managing who we date, what we wear, and how we\u2019re perceived to ensure that nothing can happen to trigger the same feelings experienced by our exiles. Managers are often our most critical inner voices. Their burden is containing and protecting the most vulnerable parts of who we are.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><\/li><li><p><em>Firefighters<\/em> are protective parts that act reactively when they think we&#8217;re in danger\u2014usually when there&#8217;s an overwhelming flood of emotions.

They might make us throw ourselves into work, binge-watch a show, use substances to numb pain, or, in extreme cases, commit suicide, in an attempt to remove us from what we&#8217;re feeling.
