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 adaptive and often our non-adaptive ability
to dissociate.
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)
