Ego State Dialogue
A structured conversation between the adult state and an ego state that's been carrying too much
A structured conversation between your adult state and one ego state that's been carrying too much. Not roleplay — listening, with the respect you'd offer anyone who showed up doing their best with what they had at the time.
The state I want to speak with
How old it feels
Adult opens
Name it kindly. "I see you. I'd like to understand what you've been carrying."
The state speaks — what it's been holding
Write in its voice. Feelings, fears, the memory or moment it formed around.
What it needed then
What it needs from you now
Adult responds
The truth this state didn't get to hear. What you can offer it today that wasn't available then.
Agreement
A small, concrete promise the adult can keep this week.
