Who should attend: Anyone with an interest in how we run the patterns in our heads and continue to repeat our mistakes – how we develop the self talk that can assist or destroy us - and want to have a useful tool to help themselves and others make the changes they desire. Why take a look at Transactional Analysis? “As consultants, educators, counselors and coaches, transactional analysts with their skills in analyzing transactional patterns are able to understand predict and help improve dysfunctional, unproductive, toxic, uncooperative interactions between people and can quickly help people communicate clearly and effectively at the three levels of the Parent (values,) the Adult (rationality) and the Child (emotions, creativity.) “  Claude Steiner Ph.D.   I'm OK - You're OK "I'm OK - You're OK" is probably the best-known expression of the purpose of transactional analysis: to establish and reinforce the position that recognizes the value and worth of every person. Transactional analysts regard people as basically "OK" and thus capable of change, growth, and healthy interactions.

What is Transactional Analysis?
TA is a popular mode of psychotherapy in both private practice and in self-help. It is also used in organizational and educational settings. The special qualities of Transactional Analysis are that it is simple, quick, potent, empowering, and flexible.

Transactional Analysis is Simple to Understand
When I take my car to the garage, my poor mechanic has to listen patiently to my vague talk of rattles and wobbles. I don't know much about cars, and I don't have the language or clear model to understand what's happening; and it shows.

Most of us have a similar problem when trying to understand our thoughts. All modes of therapy have their own special language to help articulate those thoughts and mental processes. Transactional Analysis' special gift is that its language is simple and accessible: Parent, Adult, Child, Script, Stroke, Game, Racket are all ordinary words. They are used in particular ways, but those ways are not unrecognisable from their ordinary usage.

So it's quick and easy to learn a therapeutic language that can describe how you are thinking, how you are feeling, and how you are acting. And that makes therapy much more accessible much more quickly.

Transactional Analysis is Quick
Some therapies and coaching seem like a life sentence, with no expectation that healing can come quickly. TA, while in no rush, does presume that healing can take place rapidly, in weeks and certainly months.

Transactional Analysis is Potent
Whatever is "wrong" with you can be fixed because, fundamentally, you are both OK as a person, and have the power to change. You may not feel that about yourself, but it is a fundamental humanistic precept about TA that we are all OK and capable of change, and you will be helped to realise that truth.

Transactional Analysis is Empowering
Your therapy proceeds by making contracts between you and your therapist. You are not a patient being diagnosed and treated. You are not a subject being experimented on.

You are an equal partner in the therapeutic relationship, who must agree with what will be tackled together, and how. This may seem daunting, as your therapist has been through a long training, and you haven't. But Transactional Analysis is simple to understand - and you are the world's authority about you.

Transactional Analysis is Flexible
The techniques of Transactional Analysis can be used in a variety of settings: individual therapy, group therapy, and marathon therapy sessions. And outside clinical work, it is used in both education and management consultancies.

In addition, Transactional Analysis openly integrates well with the techniques of other modes of psychotherapy. So it is happy to borrow techniques from Gestalt, NLP, different types of arts therapies, some forms of psyhocoanalysis, and many others.
