What if anxiety comes back stronger because the most vulnerable parts of us have been locked away?

Once you have a lot of what I call exiles, so these are vulnerable parts. The gut, just by dint of getting hurt or terrified or shamed, get locked away inside. And once you have a lot of exiles, you feel more delicate, the world seems more dangerous. So many things could trigger that anxiety. So other parts are forced to become protectors. So they have to leave their valuable states and take on these protective roles, Some of whom we call managers, because they're trying to manage your life so that you don't feel that anxiety and it doesn't get triggered and anxious. Exile is contained. And we do that in a variety of ways. You know, we try to make sure we look good and perform at a high level so don't ever get criticized or rejected or we don't let people close enough to hurt us again and take care of everybody so they don't leave us. So there's a variety of common managerial roles, because they're so determined to not let anything like that happen again, become these inner critics, and they're criticizing us to goad us to perform better or to look better.
