The Three Ego States

Chapter Two looks at the nature of the ego-as-an-operating-system. Read the PDF booklet then complete the two exercises and the journal questions. In this chapter you will also learn about “transactions” and how they can affect our communication.
We’ve included three videos: an overview of the chapter, a practice exercise video, and techniques for mindfulness meditation on the three ego-states.
The PDF – Clinical Considerations – looks at how mental health professionals can better utilize the material provided.
