In this episode, Jen explores ‘parts’ in more detail by breaking them into ‘exiles’, ‘managers’ and ‘firefighters’.

This episode covers:

  • A deep dive into exiles, managers and firefighters
  • How these parts can take over the whole system
  • An example of how the parts all work together in a system, like a family
  • How a therapist can help you ‘map’ your system and identify your parts
  • Common misconceptions about the inner child
