    This week’s episode is the final part of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis so if you haven’t listened to the previous three parts, do go back and check those out before listening to this one.

    Our final part is all about Life Scripts – the unconscious life plans we pick up in childhood, often without even knowing it. We’ll be breaking down the different types of Scripts, find out the characteristics of each of them and how they might be playing out in your own life right now.

    This chat that we had with our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, will not only help you uncover the script you might be living but also guide you on how to re-write it. Because once you know your script, you gain the power to change it!

    So, if you’re ready to take a closer look at the story you’ve been living, and maybe even start drafting a new chapter, then this episode is definitely for you.

  • The Psychological Games People Play

    Have you ever found yourself in a conversation that feels strangely familiar, like you’re following a script you’ve played out a hundred times before? Do you ever wonder why certain interactions with others leave you feeling frustrated, confused, or even infuriated? What if I told you that these patterns are part of a hidden game – one you might not even realise you’re playing?

    In part three of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis we’re exploring a fascinating and vital part of the TA world – the Games People Play as outlined in Eric Berne’s groundbreaking book of the same name.

    In this episode, we’re joined again by our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, to help take us through some of the most interesting and often played games from Berne’s book – along the way we’ll discover how these games can dictate our relationships, influence our emotions, and even determine our life choices. But what exactly are these games, why do we play them, and – most importantly – how can we break free from them?

  • The Art of Authentic Communication
    Aug 8 2024

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    This week we are continuing our mini-series on Transactional Analysis – a powerful tool for understanding human behaviour and communication. We build here on the concepts we looked at in last week’s episode so if you haven’t listened to that already go back and familiarise with it before launching into this one.

    In this episode we cover what Transactions are and explore the idea of Strokes – those essential units of human recognition that we all crave. Why do we need them, and how do they shape our interactions?

    We also look at the different types of Transactions that occur between our Ego states. We break down Crossed Transactions, where miscommunications often arise, and Ulterior Transactions, where hidden agendas come into play.

    That leads us into a brief look at the Psychological Games people play, finishing with some tips on how we can achieve authentic human connection and intimacy with the people in our lives.

    So, whether you’re an actor looking to deepen your character work or simply curious about the intricacies of human interaction, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking journey into the heart of Transactional Analysis.

Nuggets of wisdom for improving yourself as an actor and a person!

Love the range of topics covered, currently working my way through them and stopping to make notes often, so many nuggets of wisdom and advice for personal development & wellbeing, loads of tips to help your development as an actor and also industry tips/advice. Absolutely love this podcast, in the very early stages of exploring if acting is for me or not as I have very low confidence and major imposter syndrome and I feel I’ve struck gold coming across this podcast so thank you John, Jordan & team!
