[[Protectors]] with [[Burdens]] want control of our systems, which means they want us to blend with their perspective, when they're afraid something bad would happen if they were to relax and stand aside. [[Burdened protectors are either afraid of exiles being harmed again, or they're afraid that exiles will overwhelm our systems]]. This can often take the shape of being afraid that if they relax they'd be giving up control to another protector which they're polarized with ([[Polarization]]). Being in control is often tiring and unrewarding for [[Protectors]]: [[Burdened protectors would rather be doing something else]]. But [[Parts won't surrender their burdens until they feel it's safe to]]. Often protectors are afraid that we're trying to completely sideline them and their unique perspectives and talents. However, only other polarized protectors want this. [[Self welcomes all]] and [[Unburdened protectors can use their talents without suffering]].
