Episode notes
Three Ego States Explain Repeated Patterns
- Transactional Analysis explains communication by three ego states: Child, Parent, and Adult.
- Most irrational relationship patterns arise from switching into Child or Parent states instead of Adult.
Label Shifts To Return To Adult
- Notice when you shift into Parent or Child during everyday moments and label it.
- Use that awareness to return to the Adult state and respond to the here-and-now issue.
Complimentary Transactions Fuel Arguments
- Complementary transactions occur when one person's Parent state invites another's Child state.
- Many recurring fights are enactments of childhood dynamics, not the present issue.
