Lia DeLand, in collaboration with IFS founder Richard Schwartz, created an IFS scale measuring different parts (see selfleadership.org).  One of those parts is identified as Self-harming.  It can be a manager or firefighter that attempts to solve or distract from Exiles’ pain. The most intense “solution” is suicide which is perceived as an “out” from intensely felt pain when it is perceived that there is no other way to stop the pain.
