What are Protector Parts and Vulnerable Parts?
In Internal Family Systems we work with both Protector Parts and Vulnerable Parts. But what are parts? Parts are aspects of our personality. Our parts help our True Self navigate the world around us. They are what makes us human. Help with interactions. And make up who we are in the world. They work with True Self. There is no hierarchy. We need our parts as much as we need our True Self.
We are born with our parts just like we are born with our True Self. Each part has a job or role. However, our parts take on new jobs or roles based on what we experience. Other parts take on burdens from traumas and become exiled away. This is done in an attempt to protect the system. Protector Parts are in the conscious level of our brain and Vulnerable Parts are in stuck in the subconscious.
Introduction to Manifestation with Internal Family Systems (IFS)
There are so many ways one can manifest. And I am not saying those other ways or methods are wrong, I am just saying that those methods might not work for everyone. We are all unique and need different ways to obtain the same goals or dreams that we are manifesting. My method of manifestation uses Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Unlike other manifestation methods that often dismiss, invalidate, or dismiss any emotions that aren’t positive, this one focuses on addressing the subconscious blocks (those uncomfortable emotions) that get in the way of manifesting. IFS also focuses on bringing us into alignment with our True Self, to become Self-Led, and connected to the Universe. This is how you manifest your most amazing life! But first…
What is Manifestation?
Manifestation is the process of transforming your desires and ideas into reality. It is based on the belief that the Universe is constantly giving you what you focus on, so by focusing on your desires, through intentional actions, you can manifest them into your life.
And for manifestation to work we must believe in ourselves. And really truly believe it to our core. We must believe that we can have what we desire.
The Importance of Self-Worth
You probably have seen so many people manifesting successfully, and you don’t get how that is happening. Maybe because they aren’t “good” people. This is the thing. It’s not about good or bad when it comes to self-worth, people can be selfish, self-righteous, unkind, but they believe in themselves. They have high self-worth.
The secret to manifestation is being in our worth.
This is fundamental. This is the key to manifesting. And it’s not talked about enough. It’s bypassed so often with an unspoken assumption that we are in our worth.
Unfortunately, there are subconscious reasons why we don’t feel worthy of what we are trying to manifest. These are the past programming conditioning, and limiting beliefs that our parts are holding onto.
Connecting with Your True Self
True Self, also known as our authentic self or higher self, is our intuitive guide. When we are in True Self, we are open to the Universe and can receive what it offers. Accessing True Self energy means being present, connected to our bodies, and aligned with the creative consciousness of the Universe.
Knowing you’re in True Self involves experiencing at least one of the 8 C’s: compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calm, confidence, courage, and connectedness. In other words, are you feeling open? These qualities signify that you are aligned with your True Self and ready to co-create the life you desire with the Universe. Being in True Self energy is also how we connect with our parts.
Protector Parts
A part becoming hyper-critical attempting to keep us from “messing up” again. Or you made mistakes, getting in trouble for that. So, a part begins to feel unloved, and ashamed, so another part takes on a perfectionist role, trying to prevent that feeling from happening again.
Vulnerable Parts
If something happened in our childhood that caused feelings of shame, hurt, pain, that hurt part takes on that burden and is exiled away becoming Vulnerable parts. Where as Protector Parts step in making it their duty to not have that feeling of shame, hurt, or pain happen again.
When Parts Take On New Roles
it is as if the Protector parts have blinders on. No matter what they continue to do this job even though we have grown up, are no longer in situations that caused hurt, pain, or traumas, and have learned how to handle things differently. The part is stuck in the past, often thinking that we are the age it took on this role. We respond and react differently now than we did at age 10. The part doesn’t know this.
What Doesn’t Work
When we attempt to change the way the parts behave on a conscious level by trying to ignore them, try to only think positively, or other attempts at mindset shifts, we invalidate not only the Protector part trying to protect the system, but we are invalidating the hurt Vulnerable part that has been exiled, burdened with the hurt, pain, and shame that began this whole shift in roles and jobs for our parts. This is why these things often don’t stick, and result in us feeling worse about ourselves instead of better.
Instead, we can work with our parts. Build awareness of our internal world. Befriend and build trust with the Protector Parts, which will eventually allow us access to those Vulnerable Parts so we can unburden and heal them while in True Self. This is what manifests harmony within our internal world. This is how we become Self-led, with True Self in the lead and our parts working with us and not for us.
What to do with Protector and Vulnerable Parts
We can be mindful of what is going on inside. Begin identifying what triggers feelings of hurt, pain, or shame. Instead of ignoring it or trying to push it down, face it with curiosity, compassion, openness. Become aware of what you want to do because this was triggered.
What Protector Part is coming up, attempting to take control? Can you begin talking to this part of you and asking if it is willing to try something different? If it can trust that you can handle these feelings? This is how we begin to fully accept all parts of ourselves. How we begin to stop self-sabotaging behaviors that have kept us feeling stuck and in low self-worth. This is the foundation of successful manifestations.
