  • Dr Sandra Paulsen of the Bainbridge Institute for Integrative Psychology describes ego state therapy for complex trauma and dissociation. When a client's trauma history is complex, the self system is complex, and there are parts of self that will stop EMDR for completing successfully. Ego state therapy works with those parts to appreciate, orient and mediate conflicts for successful processing and eventual integration.

    Thank you for going into such depth on this. I have been in therapy for about 9 yrs now, and suffer from dissociative identity disorder for over 30 some yrs now. My therapist is applying this to my therapy as we speak. It is a very strong and very healing method.😊

    During an EMDR session with my therapist, I was actually viewing the memory from outside of my child self. I had removed myself that much because of how painful it was at that time. I've also experienced struggles when it comes to constantly seeing where the other people in the situation were coming from instead of allowing myself the space to validate the immense pain I had experienced as a child.

    I love how you put this. Like the other commentor, you stated it very clearly. Some of our parts forget that there is a capable adult who can handle the pain. I've repressed so much from my childhood, years just gone, even positive ones. Thank you for sharing your outlook, I fully and completely agree with you.

    I have worked with clients with dissociation problems. You said a lot in this short video, and stated the situation clearly.

    what arises in me
    as I watch this video,
    is the pain of the hell I'm in:
    - rage
    - poverty
    - shame
    - old and unaccomplished
    - perpetually forever single
    - never had a real friend my whole life
    - grief
    - depression
    - the pain of the past rapes me
    - the terror of the future paralyzes me with fear

    I needed immediate help with damage control. my therapist told me I can text her.I lost several jobs in a flashback and texted her for support. a simple "hang in there" would have sufficed.she ignored my text,I lost another job overcompensating for setting boundaries and I fired her.

    I am no longer trying to remember the past. My inner children are keeping their secrets.
    I can’t remember the two years I went through hypnosis at NIMH in 1991.

    What if I do emdr and I split off into like another identity. I'm 19 and have dpdr and I was raised around narcisists but I know I used to play in my head and imagine a lot when I was younger , is this even logically possible? Thankyou bcuz I have identity crisis in my life I know who I am but my ego States change, like I'll be a victim and then a persecuyor but I'm still me my name doesn't change or anything like ppl with DID

      I struggle with this as well. We all have fragmented aspects of conciousness but some of us, like you and myself, had to split a lot to survive. I also used to be in my head and had a completely different personality. It was a boy version of me that I visited on a beach where it was calm and there was beautiful women (weird i know haha). If you find a trained therapist that does the process correctly, you will not split off into other identities. When I've done EMDR (at least 20 times), my sessions almost always revolved around my inner child that was present during the traumatic memories. I would validate her pain, hold space for her and allow her to leave and go to our safe space if it felt like too much. I would hug her and remind her that these things are in the past, we don't live there anymore and I am now a fully capable adult that can take care of us. I have complex trauma and have since slid back an awful lot due to my therapist starting his own private practice and not being able to see him. A lot of the time, we do not have awareness to what is causing us pain on a regular basis because we disassociate. We tend to experience splitting and get defensive due to our inner child (or other part that is not our adult/higher self) taking the wheel, feeling the need to protect ourselves. It is hard, I know. I'm experiencing an identity crisis too and I'm almost 27 years old. My best advice is to get into therapy, do your research, ask lots of questions about what the place provides, the sooner the better. At the place I go to, all the therapists have their own therapists outside of their clinic, as to avoid counter transference.
      Best of luck, hang in there.

    The Ams are not responsible for me. I m normal from the state of my NDE birth . Coercive , malpractice injury is an illegal crime.
    As a financial captive , I'm wanted to remain as if in a state of regression . Ppl who commit crimes, take them on their preys. I just wish s safe reversal. The group of international musicians made it clear to MXN that he committed a crime on me as a unique person .
