IFS and the Roles Your Parts Play When Protecting You

Meet Your Inner Team — A Free IFS Self-Discovery Guide

30 Roles Your Parts Might Be Playing (and What They’re Trying to Protect)

Have you ever caught yourself people pleasing, shutting down emotionally, or pushing yourself to be perfect—without fully understanding why?
That’s a part of you speaking.

In Internal Family Systems (IFS), we come to see our mind as an inner team made up of different “parts”—each trying to protect us, manage our emotions, or prevent pain. This free 11-page guide will introduce you to 30 common protective roles your parts may be playing. These include roles like:

• The People Pleaser

• The Perfectionist

• The Critic

• The Avoider

• The Rescuer

• The Withdrawer

• …and many more

For each part, you’ll learn:

• What it does: the role it plays in your system

• Why it thinks it helps: its protective or coping strategy

• Signs it’s active: emotional, mental, and behavioral clues to watch for.
