You think you have an ego, and the thoughts that tells you that appears as the ego to you.
In a sense the ego does not exist, it's just a thoughts collection about what and how the world function.

Knowing that is useless unless you experience it for yourself though, you got to really see these are just thoughts.
The only solution to that is lots and lots of meditation and mindfullness (24/24) until you have a breakthrough.

You could be an expert meditator and still being easily triggered in real life situation, so mindfullness isn't a luxury, you got to be very conscious of your thoughts and emotions at all time, otherwise you'll trick yourself again and again untill you die.
