Q

Kris Ernst- Ego Strength

A
  1. Regression here refers to relaxing inner control or loosening defenses in order to discover what is beyond our defended state.
    It is a process where the primary process (impulses and urges) is brought under the guidance of the secondary process (ego).
  2. It takes a strong ego to relax its need to control and access what has been inhibited or avoided. The key here is flexibility – flexibility to relax defenses.
  3. In art, the process can afford us controlled titrated regressions. Within this perspective, regression is adaptive.
  4. Movement in therapy =’s access to controlled regressions.
  5. Other considerations: surrender to being in ambiguity, beginners mind, releasing habit and the familiar and accessing the unfamiliar, accepting that there are no immediate answers – staying present with the questions, loss of boundaries, pursuing radical honesty with oneself.

Q

What is an Ego?

A

The ego has two functions or purposes:
• The functional aspect of the ego consists of organizing and synthesizing impressions
from the outside world and our inner responses to these impressions.
• It is as if there is an inner manager helping us to negotiate the world, protecting and
guiding us along the way from confusing inner and outer perceptions.
• The ego, often experienced from the perspective of “I”, is our reasoning ability to work
with distortions of thinking.
• This “I” perspective thinks itself to be in charge and in control and yet it is really limited.
I am…
I want…
I feel…
I believe…
