Product reviews for Ego State Therapy

Gordon Emmerson has entered the arena of counselling by successfully introducing Ego-state therapy in an informative, well structured format. The reader will be happy with Dr Emmerson’s presentation of the theory, the examples of counselling sessions utilising the techniques and the diversity of the application of this fascinating, effective and easy to apply therapy. I am fortunate to have this knowledge in my “grab bag of skills’ and I use it with my clients to enable them to identify and resolve the issue that causes their problem.

Dr Gordon Emmerson’s new book contains a wealth of information that will help counsellors to build on their already well developed skills. Ego-state therapy enables the practitioner to assist the client in determining the cause of their problem, the root cause, and to effectively deal with it. The theory and examples are explicit and easy to adopt. Borrowing “energy’ from a negative part and giving that energy to a part that needs it is nothing short of brilliant. I’ve used Ego-state therapy with clients for a number of years and I feel sure that this valuable book will influence many to also use this most effective technique.

Here is a book that counsellors and therapists of any modality will gravitate to. I am impressed with the basics let alone the Advanced Counselling Skills and Techniques. Ego-state therapy forms a large part of my counselling, hypnotherapy and NLP practice and now Gordon Emmerson has produced another outstanding book that is not just a follow on from his earlier book which is also filled with user friendly information. Dr Emmerson’s highly ethical and respectful approach is conveyed throughout the text. The theory and the examples contain all that is needed for the practitioner to model in order to assist a client to determine the cause of their problem and to deal with the issue causing the problem. His suggestion of borrowing “energy’ from a negative part and giving that energy to a part that needs it is nothing short of brilliant.
