Transactional Analysis (TA)
Transactional Analysis (TA) is helpful in coaching
Scripts and Life Positions:
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.
Applying TA in personal development:
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.
Understanding the PAC model:
The Three modes of operation or Egos: Parent, Adult, and Child ego states
Parent Ego State - behaviours, beliefs, values, deisres, 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:
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).
