"What if we could each gain access to the full range of human qualities that lie suppressed within us? What the future could hold, and what each of us could become, is limited mainly by what we believe.”

Revolution from Within Gloria Steinem

Ego State Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that engages our "inner voices". This internal dialogue can be understood as being driven by parts that characterise our inner feelings, reactions to the external world or our prevailing mood states.

Ego states are the "parts" of us as we shift from one state of mind or mood to another. Because we can have many states from which we can choose, it is possible to learn to change from a state that feels out of control to a state that has a feeling of competence. Working with ego states can foster an improved psychological and physiological experience of life. (Emmerson, 2003)
