*Protectors* are a type of [Part](Parts) that include subtypes of [[Firefighters]] and [[Managers]]. Protectors, unlike [[Exiles]], have roles within your system. For example, a protector might help you solve technical problems. [[Protector roles that were in some way adaptive in the past may be maladaptive now]], but [[Protectors have good reasons for their roles and beliefs, even when they're extreme, irrational, and wrong]].
