EGO-STATE THERAPY
Ego-State Therapy in Iowa City: Feel Whole Again
You do not have to feel fragmented. Your internal parts can learn to work together.
Dissociation and parts work
In-person + telehealth
Trauma-informed
IS THIS YOU?
Feeling fragmented inside
One part of you wants to reach out, another says do not trust anyone. One side is confident and capable, another feels small and terrified. You have gaps in memory, strong reactions that feel like they come from someone else, and confusion about who you really are. Your mind created these parts to protect you. The trouble is they are still running the show.
HOW IT WORKS
From internal warfare to a coordinated, whole self
Identification
We notice the different parts and what each one protects you from.
Communication
We establish dialogue with the parts through imagery and conversation.
Understanding
We explore why each part formed and what it fears will happen if it lets go.
Integration
The parts stop fighting and start coordinating. You become a coherent whole.
WHAT CHANGES
The internal arguments and noise begin to calm
Memory gaps become clearer. You develop a coherent, coordinated sense of self. You access your strengths without parts sabotaging you, and panic eases because the internal warfare stops
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about Ego-State Therapy
Will this help with Dissociative Identity Disorder?
Yes. This helps with all dissociative type disorders including dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Will talking to my parts make them more powerful?
Usually the opposite happens. When our parts feel seen and heard for what they have been holding onto, or what their job has been for so long, they reduce in intensity - leading to “retiring” all-together.
Can I do this via telehealth?
Yes. It can be done effectively online anywhere in Iowa.
