You know this feeling.
You're sitting with a client. They understand their patterns. They can describe their childhood, name their defences, explain exactly why they do what they do.
And yet nothing changes.
The insight is there, but the body hasn't caught up. They still can't sleep. They still lose themselves in relationships. They still collapse when they try to hold a boundary. They still run the moment an emotion surfaces.
You've done good work together. But something is missing — something underneath the words, underneath the thinking, underneath the character structure itself.
And quietly, you wonder: Am I reaching deep enough?
The Missing Piece
When insight doesn't translate to change, the body holds the answer. The patterns live not just in the mind, but in muscle, sensation, and the earliest developmental foundations.
There's a reason it's not landing.
Most therapeutic approaches — even body-oriented ones — focus on character structures or individual ego functions. These are powerful frameworks. But they each look through a narrow lens: one developmental age, one muscle group, one theme at a time.
The ego aspects are different. They span multiple character structures. They offer a wider, more integrative frame — one that follows how the body actually develops, from the earliest sensation in the womb to the full complexity of adult life.

The Most Powerful Approach
This course shares the framework she considers among the most powerful and least understood in the Bodynamic system.
Five recorded sessions. Five ego aspects. A complete map.
This course takes you on a structured journey through all five ego aspects, each explored through its connection to the body:
1
Session 1 — The Body Ego
Where it all begins. Sensation, basic needs, survival versus living. You'll learn quiet, slow exercises that reach clients who can't think their way to change — including those near despair. You'll understand why centering is the foundation everything else is built on, and what happens when the bucket has holes.
2
Session 2 — The Individual Ego
The seat of emotions, self-worth, and the courage to stay. You'll practise being with emotions without fleeing into explanation — and learn to guide clients toward the same. You'll discover why the impulse to "figure out why I'm sad" is itself the problem, and how to work with the autonomy wound without directly entering the autonomy theme.
3
Session 3 — The Role Ego
Where cognition, responsibility, and social life enter the picture. You'll explore which roles your clients have chosen, which they've fallen into, and which they've never examined. You'll work with the muscles that support authority, self-esteem, and the flexibility to adapt without losing yourself.
4
Session 4 — The Observing Ego
The capacity that makes sustainable change possible. Without it, insights dissolve the moment the client leaves the room. You'll build the observing ego from the ground up — starting with "I see, I sense" and progressing to exercises that reveal the gap between how a person experiences themselves and how the world experiences them.
5
Session 5 — The Integrated Ego
The whole picture. You'll learn how to hold all the ego aspects at once — and how to help clients who can't, because their ego aspects are fragmented islands rather than a flowing whole. You'll discover why, for some clients, setting aside character structure entirely and focusing on bridging the ego aspects may be the most effective approach you can take.
What's at stake when the body ego is missing.
When the earliest ego aspects are underdeveloped, the consequences ripple upward through everything:
A weak body ego means a person cannot hold satisfaction — it drains through them like water through a broken bucket. They chase dopamine, cling to contact, or collapse into despair.
A wounded individual ego means emotions become enemies to escape rather than parts of the self to inhabit. The person runs from sadness, flees fear, and substitutes explanation for experience.
A disconnected role ego means a person either hides behind performance or cannot take on responsibility at all. Their roles become rigid shells or they have no roles to stand in.
A missing observing ego means no sustainable change is possible. The person may shift in session, but they cannot hold the shift alone. They will need you — every week, indefinitely.
This is not a knowledge problem. It is a body problem. And it requires a body solution.
Imagine what becomes possible.
You sit with a client who has been depressed for years. Instead of talking about the depression, you guide them to sense their breathing, reach out with their mouth, and notice that the air meets them. Something small shifts. Not a cure — a beginning. A spark of wanting.
You work with someone who cannot name a single thing that makes them happy. You run them through the seven emotions, three experiences each, and together you discover exactly where the disconnect lives — not in their history, but in their body, right now.
You sit across from someone who has been in therapy for a decade and has never been asked to describe themselves without their roles. Four minutes of speaking from the individual ego, and something cracks open that years of analysis hadn't reached.

This course is for you if…
You are a body-oriented therapist, psychotherapist, or counsellor who wants to deepen your work beyond character structures and individual ego functions
You are a Bodynamic practitioner (Foundation, Practitioner, or Analyst level) looking to integrate the ego-aspect perspective into your practice
You work with clients who are "stuck" despite having good cognitive insight
You work with developmental trauma, PTSD, depression, or anxiety and want a structured somatic framework
You work in coaching, consulting, or organisational settings where developmental language isn't appropriate, but body-based ego work is still needed
You are willing to practise the exercises on yourself — because that is where this work begins
"I'm alive today because you taught me to appreciate that the air met me."
— A text message received by Ditte from a former client
The body ego is where hope begins. The integrated ego is where it becomes sustainable. Everything in between is the work.
