Hello: New to this forum. I found it in my search for a forum dealing with Transactional Analysis. TA was introduced to me during a short stay, almost three decades ago, at an Alcohol Treatment Unit here in the UK.
I latched onto TA immediately – initially to analyse anyone but myself – and in its most basic form it has been of regular comfort and value since. It’s perhaps impossible to prove that today’s relative contentment is a direct result of TA and not merely the passing of time but am fairly sure it has helped to strengthen my Adult and… well, there’s so much I would like to discuss about the subject and perhaps this is the place…
There again, and it has just occurred to me, couching everything in TA alone may be restrictive hence I should be open to other forms of communication. So no doubt the above results could be attributed to other forms analysis too.
Just as a little starter subject: that of how to save the planet. Could it be said that virtually all the damage we are doing can be traced back to our feeling Not Okay about ourselves?, and that the necessary civilizing process leads us all to feeling Not Okay to varying extents?
If so what about introducing TA for example, shown to be comprehensible by the young, to children in their formative years. Yes, many generations would pass before improvements might be seen but… well, I’m not aware of any other long term solutions. No doubt this has all been suggested and perhaps implemented already. Would be keen to hear.
Anyway, saving planets is a wearisome business and its way past my bedtime so I’m off. Goodnight.
