Ego State Therapy

​

Ego-state work is an effective brief therapy enhanced by hypnosis. It uses various techniques to access and connect ego states for the purposes of helping client relieve symptoms and healing conflicts among the ego state system.

An ego system may be described as an individual's personality composed of a grouping of separate states, each possessing identity, memory, and specific traits.

 

Evolving from a young age these ego states continue to develop as we go through life and are personal to each of us. They may be organised to enhance person's adaptability in coping with events or problems.

 

When ego-states don’t have the resources they need and they aren’t working well together we can feel distressed, anxious and depressed. This can undermine our best laid plans, ambitions and goals in life.
