Written by:
Susan continues her Parenting Without Power Struggles series on Internal Family Systems, introducing "manager" parts. A healthy manager keeps life running smoothly, but when driven by old fears or insecurities, it can tip into perfectionism, control, or people-pleasing, often at a cost to our peace and our relationships. Susan explains why these parts formed, and why the path forward is curiosity, not judgment.
- How managers that run on fear form in childhood, often in unpredictable or conditional-love environments.

- Why an overworked manager can "run out of steam" — often exactly when a firefighter part steps in to take over.
