Transactional Analysis Ego States and Depression
Transactional Analysis Ego States and Depression
In this video I explore transactional analysis ego states in the treatment of depression. I explain how depression is frequently caused by the dominant ego states of the Critical Parent and the Adapted Child. On the other hand, the Nurturing Parent, the Adult and the Child are free and often weak. I explain what causes these ego states to become imbalanced and how to fix them. Using Transactional Analysis (TA) as a basic model, I also introduce Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
