Systemic Ego State Therapy
Emergence Of Core Self from Ego State Differentiation
Presented by Bruce Hersey LCSW
This is a 5 hour course designed for mental health professionals who have had experience or training in working with ego states; the inner parts of a person. Transactional Analysis, Inner Child work, EMDR, and hypnotherapy working with ego states would be examples of this.
The focus of this workshop is on developing an appreciation and understanding of how these states are embedded in a self-organizing system that is naturally designed for the adaptation and protection of the individual. The effects of trauma and attachment issues on the formation of this internal system is discussed, as well as the idea that there is a innate core self which becomes disconnected through typical life experiences.
This core self has universal psychological and spiritual resources and can be elicited ultimately through working with the ego states and gaining their trust and cooperation. The resources of the self then become available for the healing of traumatized, hurting, and self-defeating ego states.
Elements of the composition of ego states are delineated, as well as discussion of the energy that holds these elements together in their reliably recognizable forms over time as they repeatedly appear.
The workshop draws heavily on concepts from the Internal Family Systems model of therapy developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD., and includes information from Dan Siegel's InterPersonal NeuroBiology, Structural Dissociation, EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis and other models, methods and experience.
Will submit for approval for 5 CEU by NBCC & ASWB, and CSL toward IFS recertification.
