Transactional Analysis is
However, there are some key concepts central to Transactional Analysis. Fundamentally, the theory posits that individuals constantly operate out of one of three ego states; Parent, Adult, and Child. These three roles are often capitalized in their spelling by adherents to distinguish them from the actual roles of parent, adult, or child.
For example, a senior teacher reprimanding a junior staff member may operate in the role of Parent, while the staff member responds from the posture of a Child. The senior teacher may use behaviors like yelling, sarcasm, or terse demands they learned from observing their own parents. The junior staffer, though fully an adult, may respond with childlike behaviors they learned as an actual child, such as hanging their head, twisting their hair, or lashing back in anger.
Central to Transactional Analysis is the idea of the Script. The Script or myth is a deeply embedded story line, thought to be developed in childhood, that explains and answers such fundamental questions as, "Who am I?" "What is life's purpose?" "What is true and real?" The Script is believed to be so powerful that individuals will adhere to it even when beliefs and behaviors associated with the Script prove counterproductive and even contradicted by facts.
Transactions consist of flows and interchanges of communication, especially the unspoken, psychological messages communicated through tone, body language, word choice. "Strokes", another key in transactional analysis, comprise the expressions of attention and recognition one gives to another.
The key then in employing Transactional Analysis in Self-Coaching is to identify the controlling Script, identify the embedded responses one has learned and responds from as Parent, Adult, and Child. One can then change the Script and role responses through more mature transaction evaluation and positive stroke reinforcement.
