Ego State Therapy

Ambivalence or feeling internally divided is a common experience. Sometimes our internal conflict can feel like two parts arguing & we feel stuck or divided. Relational neglect and trauma, especially in early childhood, can have the effect of splitting a person's internal self causing contradictory thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Ego State Therapy helps increase compassion and understanding for all parts of the self; allowing an internal system that can dialogue rather than fight or shut down. This internal collaboration is essential to effective EMDR.
