Transactional Analysis

Transactional Analysis is a sophisticated theory of personality, communication and behavior used for personal growth and personal change. Founded by Canadian psychiatrist Eric Berne in the 1950&#39s, T.A. has applications in coaching, counseling, therapy, education, organizational and business consulting.
Transactional Analysis has many facets, including:

• • Life Scripts: looking at the stories we are unconsciously living
  • Games: the &#39games&#39 people play to reinforce old, familiar, yet unproductive feelings
  • Strokes: how we go about obtaining our needs for recognition

Time Structuring: how we structure our time, and it&#39s congruence with how we want to live

• Ego States: which &#39part&#39 of ourselves are we communicating from, and which &#39part&#39 is the other person responding from

Transactions: examining the surface/social level of communication (verbal), as well as the hidden/psychological level that runs parallel (non-verbal)

By working with these various facets we are able to facilitate profound personal change, professional development, and improve communication skills in all areas of life.
