Abstract Supersymmetry‐breaking is a key ingredient for string theory models to be phenomenologically viable. We review the strong analogy in the physics and methods used for describing non‐supersymmetric flux vacua and non‐supersymmetric black holes in string theory. We also show how the polarized state could be the key to describing a well‐behaved back‐reaction of anti‐branes in flux backgrounds, shedding a new light on a recent debate in the literature.
