This is a bit of a jumping around one! I start with introducing some of my favourite Transactional Analysis concepts (ego states, drama triangle, ok corral) and then explore some of the day to day applications of these models, as well as the all important TA concept: Contracts.
The two books I reference are:
Being Human by Gerry Pyves
TA Today by Ian Stewart and Vann Joines
The author of Scripts People Live is Claude Steiner.
You can find the books in the Psychology of Change trilogy I mention here
This episode comes with a health warning, especially if you know me. It starts very upbeat but then covers some really serious stuff including personal content which "podcast pre-publish listeners" have found hard to listen to and has generally made them feel quite angry towards some of the people I refer to.
Please don't listen to this recording if you're feeling anything other than robust. It contains a small amount of swearing.
Very first episode! When I was recording this I wasn't even sure there'd be an episode 2 - so please excuse the rather scatty and disorganised nature of it! I almost didn't upload it but figured "warts and all" (with appropriate health warning) was very much my style :)
