IFS and Internal Polarisations

Описание: A short video describing internal polarisations and how they try and keep balance in your system. I go through the types of polarisations: its helpful if you have a knowledge of IFS categories of parts - here is a quick resume:
Managers- proactive, forward thinking, rule based, they often like control.. Internal (and external critics) as well as the never again team, the anticipatory scouts who don't want you to feel shame, or get criticised - both of these use shaming tactics to keep you in line. Some push you forward, others keep you back..
Firefighters - the present moment ones who don't want to be controlled. They respond to nervous system activation - the pain of the feeling full ones, the exiles and come in like heros to quash the flames of pain. They can rage and try and displace the blame onto someone else (its not me its you).. or dissociate or get you to do soothing, pleasurable activities, like drink, drugs, sex, fantasy, binge watching or scrolling.
Exiles - the feeling full ones, some burdened, others innocent and playful and have appropriate needs for connection. Some may feel so shameful they go invisible, others reach out to get others to be with them. Shame is so often exiled in our systems, also despair, helpless, powerless, feelings of not good enough, I'm bad, I'm not ok...
