Watch my YouTube video: Improve Communication with TA and please SUBSCRIBE - thanks :)

TA improves communication:

Communication Strategies: Practical tips using TA to improve communication; adopting active listening, "I" statements 📞 🗣️

Example: Avoid "Parent" language that criticizes or belittles

Personal Growth: TA can help you achieve self-awareness and personal development 🪜

Healthy Relationships: TA can strengthen relationships with family, friends, and colleagues

Life Scripts in TA:

Life Scripts: These have an impact on our choices and behaviour ✍

Example: Someone with a "Loser" script might sabotage their own success

Identify your Life Script: TA has tools for recognizing and understanding your own script 🆔

"Re-scripting": Changing Your Script to rewrite limiting life scripts and adopt empowering beliefs 📝

Understanding the PAC model in TA:

The Three modes of operation or Egos: Parent, Adult, and Child ego states

🟨 Parent Ego State - behaviours, beliefs, values, desires, identities, thoughts and feelings taken on (not always wittingly)from parents or parent figures

🟩 Adult Ego State - behaviours, thoughts and feelings which are direct responses to the here and now

🟦 Child Ego State - behaviours, beliefs, values, deisres, identities, thoughts and feelings developed in and replayed from childhood

Transactional Patterns in TA:

Complementary Transactions: complementary transactions maintain the status quo ⚖️

Example: A teacher (Parent) asks a student (Child) a question, and the student (Child) answers (Child)

Crossed Transactions: create confusion and conflict 😕

Example: A manager (Parent) asks an employee (Adult) a question, but the employee (Child) responds with sarcasm (Child)

Ulterior Transactions: Uncover hidden agendas and manipulative communication patterns 🗺️

Example: Someone offers a compliment (Parent) but expects something in return (Child)
