What is the difference between the IFS Exile Challenge, 7-day Challenge, and Bootcamp?

Created by IFS Guide, Modified on Wed, 5 Jun at 3:06 AM by IFS Guide

The IFS 7-day Challenge and Mastering IFS Bootcamp focuses on working with your own protectors, which is the first half of the IFS protocol) and the IFS Exile Challenge focuses on the second half of the IFS protocol.


The IFS 7-day Challenge and Bootcamp are like an introduction. It covers the basics of IFS, helps you recognize different parts of the Self, and shows how to start conversations with these parts. It's suitable for everyone, no matter how much you know about IFS.


IFS Exile Challenge, however, is a deeper dive. It unfolds over three modules, each exploring different aspects of our relationship with 'Exiles', a type of internal part. To take part in Exile Challenge, you need a good understanding of how to work with your Protectors. It's a transformative journey that really helps you connect with yourself. That's why we recommend completing either the Bootcamp or the 7-day Challenge before participating in the Exile Challenge.
