Everyone's journey is unique and these are general guidelines:

  • Stability: You should be in a reasonably stable emotional and mental state. This includes having effective ways to cope with everyday stressors and not currently being in a major crisis.

  • Safety with Protectors: You should have learned how to establish a trusting relationship with your Protectors, the parts of you that help safeguard the Exiles. This involves understanding their roles, appreciating their efforts, and gaining their trust to access the Exiles. We teach this in our IFS 7-Day Challenge and Mastering IFS Basics Boorcamp (Click to Learn More).

  • Inner Guidance: Having a very deep understanding and knowledge of working with your own system of protectors using the IFS methodology. Honor, appreciate, and understand your Protectors. We teach this in our  IFS 7-Day Challenge and Mastering IFS Basics Boorcamp (Click to Learn More).

  • Capacity to Self-Soothe: You should be able to comfort and calm yourself. Working with Exiles can bring up intense emotions, and it's important to be able to return to a Self-led state.

  • Willingness: Lastly, you should feel ready and willing to understand and potentially engage with your Exiles.

If you do have a therapist or IFS Practitioner, you can have these discussions with them to ensure you're ready to work with your Exiles.
