Transactional analysis

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS (developed by Eric Berne) brings into consciousness the 3 most important personal inner positions: the ADULT, the PARENT and the CHILD.

In ‘the PARENT’ we find the sum of the authority and care-taking of parents, educators, authorities passed on from generation to generation..  Apart of the good caring part, too often an unconscious mix of ‘love’, moral judgments, manipulations and projections is present, because of the unripe ‘psychological age’ of the parents and other ‘authorities’. Bringing this into consciousness creates clarity.

The ‘inner’ CHILD internalizes emotional, parental, educational and cultural patterns Often, in order to survive, the child adapts too much and looses the creativity and freedom to behave in a spontaneous, autonomous way.

The ‘inner’ ADULT is neutral, open to learn and to practice skills… and can as well develop a wide range of understanding, compassion and wisdom as ‘a ripened soul’.
