Hi Seldom!
I have always wanted to go to San Fran, I hear it is so wonderful. I have been to San Diego and saw the most beautiful sunset of my life. Plus it is better than being in a foot of snow right now. lol Better soak up some of that sunshine to save it for the winter.
I should tell my T I don't believe in that theory of therapy, in case she starts with it. Mainly this thread was about MY therapy, I didn't mean to offend anyone else who believes in that theory for themselves, but then again I was talking about my therapy. Different things work for different people and I can only speak for myself and what I believe. When I speak of ego state therapy, it has NOTHING to do with DID. One is a type of therapy and one is a mental condition.
Ego state therapy stated with a form of hypnosis therapy, and psychoanalyst training, my old man T practiced it at one time. He no longer practices this because he believes other therapies are more useful to him and his practice.
For me, I am more into the humanistic model of therapy (Carl Rogers). I believe we all have in us our own answers of how to heal, we just need to be guided time to time to come to our realizations. When given unconditional positive regard with our T's, we feel safe enough to go through the process. I believe in other theories too of course, but this is the main one I believe in.
I just looked up my T on Psychology Today, and she listed that her theory is the Roger's method, among others. But when I start to practice, and a client(thank Carl Rogers for that term instead of patient)needs the age regression therapy, I will be trained to do it.
Enjoy that sunshine!
