[[Protectors]] will use creative and clever strategies to protect our [[Exiles]] and our systems. That can sometimes mean crafting subtle roles that are purposefully hard to notice. It can sometimes mean forming beliefs and roles that dissuade us from examining it and the unresolved [[Trauma]] in our system more closely. It can sometimes mean taking on roles that prevent us from seeing our system and reality clearly. It can sometimes mean securing so much control (see: [[Burdened protectors want control]]) that we struggle to see that it's not [[Self]] but a [Part](Parts). But [[Protectors have positive intent]]. And if we can unburden them, we can put their talents to better use: [[Parts are valuable]].
