Transactional Analysis — or TA — was developed by Eric Berne. It works with three ego states: Parent (internalised rules and values), Adult (rational present-moment thinking), and Child (emotional responses rooted in early experience). By understanding which ego state is operating in any interaction — including the one with yourself — you can change unhelpful patterns and relate more freely. TA also explores ‘life scripts’ — unconscious plans formed in childhood that play out in adult life.
