Thought for 2015
New Year seems to challenge people to reflect on what is and consider what they want for their future and what changes they want to make to promote happiness and well-being.
Script is often compared to destiny or fate by those who misunderstand this Transactional Analysis idea. So what does a TA therapist mean by script? As we grow up, we observe the world and work out how we can survive it. We make decisions when we are young that can stay with us for the rest of our lives unless we challenge these beliefs when we are adults and learn to do things differently.
Script is:
“A life plan based on decisions which limit a person’s ability to
problem solve and relate intimately with people”.
(Erskine, R. 1980).
