Meet Your Inner Team — IFS Self-Discovery Guide
30 Roles Your Parts Might Be Playing (and What They’re Trying to Protect)
Have you ever noticed yourself people pleasing, shutting down emotionally, or pushing for perfection, and wondered, Why do I do this even when I don’t want to?
In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, we come to see our mind as an inner team made up of different “parts”, these are protective parts trying to keep you safe. They do this to manage our emotions or prevent pain.
Meet Your Inner Team is an 11-page guide that introduces you to 30 common “protective part” roles that shape your emotions, relationships, stress responses, and day to day decisions.
What Is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a trauma-informed approach that views the mind as an internal system made up of different parts (like an inner team). Each part has a role, a strategy, and a reason it shows up—especially during stress, anxiety, conflict, or emotional overwhelm.
Parts are not “bad.” They are often:
-
Protectors (managers and firefighters) trying to prevent pain
-
Parts that learned survival strategies during earlier experiences
-
Inner roles that formed in response to trauma, burnout, insecurity, or abandonment fear
What you will find inside the guide:
This guide covers 30 protective roles your parts might be playing, including 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 internal system
-
Why it thinks it helps: its protective or coping strategy behind the behavior
-
Signs it’s active: emotional, mental, and behavioral clues to watch for in real time.
