Ego State Boundaries
• A person’s sense of real self can be experienced in any of the ego states, depending on where the psychic energy resides at that particular time.
• When the sense of real self is experienced in one ego state, the others may be inactive. However, the others are always there and have the potential to become active.
Ego State Boundaries• It is useful to think of each ego
state as having boundaries.• Berne suggests that ego
boundaries can be thought of as semi permeable membranes through which psychic energy can flow from one ego state to another.
• Ego boundaries must be semi permeable otherwise psychic energy would be bound up in one ego state and unable to move about spontaneously as situations change.
Ego State Boundaries• In some highly effective people,
the flow of energy may be very rapid in others it may be sluggish.
• The person whose free energy moves rapidly may be exciting and stimulating but others may have difficulty keeping with this fast moving pace.
• The one whose energy moves more slowly is the person who is slow to start and slow to stop activities and others may become impatient.
Ego State Boundaries• The physiology of the ego state
boundaries is not yet understood, but the assumption that they exist is made by observing specific kinds of behavior defects.
• Some people continually act in unpredictable ways and others are so predictable they seem monotonous.
• These disorders are caused by ego state boundaries which are too lax or tight, have lesions or overlap.
“ An open mind is all very well in its way, but it ought not to be so open that there is no keeping anything in or out o fit. It should be capable of shutting its doors sometimes, or it may be found a little drafty.”
Samuel Butler
