A crucial part of every IFS session is to ask the protector what age they think you are (often, at least in examples, it would say something like 5-12) and then you could reveal to it that actually you’re 30 (or whatever).
I wouldn’t put it as strongly as to say that it’s a crucial part of every IFS session. It can sometimes be a very useful question and approach, sure, but I’ve had/facilitated plenty of great sessions that didn’t use that question at all. And there are people who that question just doesn’t resonate with.
