This article explores the key parts discussed in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles—and provides real-life examples of how these parts might manifest. It also introduces the concept of the Self, the core essence of who we are, which serves as a compassionate and guiding presence distinct from our parts.

In this article, I explore the emerging field of Psycho-Neuroimmunology (PNI) and how it helps us understand the connections between emotional stress, immune function, and physical health. Drawing on recent studies, I discuss how therapies like mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can support immune resilience by reducing inflammation and fostering emotional well-being.
