"I could tell that it was my Father speaking through me."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This show contains branded product placement

It’s suggested that the personality is structured into 3 main categories including the parent ego state
The parent ego state is the part of our personality where we have copied primary caregivers. It’s the idea that we think, behave and act in the same way as primary caregivers
The adult ego state is a more here-and-now reflective state. In adult ego state you are much more able to look at the potential options available
The child ego state is a version of ourselves from earlier
The structural model of the ego states helps you understand communication
The functional model only looks at the behaviours that are critical
It’s about how people learn what they learn
In life, awareness can change us and how we take responsibility for things without feeling like a victim
Transactional analysis helps people to understand their locus of control in any given situation
You can reflect on how you can find your power and not feel powerless in a situation
Awareness means having a more dynamic relationship with your adult ego state

BEST MOMENTS

‘Knowing why you might be thinking the way you do about something is empowering and liberating

‘A benefit of understanding your ego states is being able to think about the contents of your parent and child ego states and more of your adult ego state so that you can respond rather than react’
