Ego State Therapy works in conjunction with Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and conventional Counselling/Psychotherapy techniques on a deep state rapid approach to bring about relief to clients from their symptoms whether it be self-esteem issues, phobia, anxiety states or freedom from deep seated habits.

“The personality is composed of separate mood states.  These mood states, which everyone has, are called Ego States.  Medical and psychological problems result from Ego States harbouring pain, trauma, anger or frustration and expressing it inappropriately.  Indecision is a result of two Ego States wanting different things.” (Emmerson, 2001)

Mastering Ego State Therapy can foster an improved psychological and physical experience of life. Working directly with the state that needs assistance provides the shortest distance between the goal and the solution. The practical techniques help you to locate ego states in pain, trauma, anger, or frustration and facilitate expression, release, comfort, and empowerment.

Ego State Therapy

The personality is not a homogenous whole, but is composed of separate mood states that we switch between, taking our ego identity with us.  The distance from “I hate you,” to “I don’t know why I said that. You are my friend,” demonstrates two separate ego states, and while in each we ego identify as “I.”  Clients speaking to a therapist from an intellectual ego state about a problem have little chance of timely change, because they are not talking from the state that is actually troubled.
They are talking about that state.

Ego State Therapy facilitates the part of the client with the problem to come forward so the origin of the problem can be directly addressed.

The goals of the therapy are:

•  To locate ego states harbouring pain, trauma, anger, or frustration and facilitate expression, release, comfort, and empowerment

•  To facilitate functional communication among ego states (the statement “I hate myself when I am like that” indicates two states lacking in proper communication)

•  To help clients learn their ego states so that the states may be better used to the clients’ benefit (e.g., allowing the client to get work done, rest, be open to enjoy emotional experiences or be assertive when challenged).

Certificate of Ego State Therapy

The Certificate is a practical and experiential course that will provide a theoretical understanding of ego states, will present ways to access ego states, will present and demonstrate ego state techniques, and will provide an opportunity to practice accessing and communicating with ego states.
Ego State theory and therapy is strongly supported by research.  It is very fast and clients appreciate the self-understanding it provides. Ego State therapy can be used with hypnosis and may also be used in a non-hypnotic setting.

Diploma of Ego State Therapy

Successful completion of the theoretical and practical aspects of both the certificate course and this two weekend intensive gives the participant a Diploma of Ego State Therapy.  Both the Certificate and Diploma are designed to give practical experience to students.
The Diploma Course Sydney workshop is planned for March/April 2011. Techniques will be demonstrated and practised during class time.
