​Practitioners, whether working with individuals or groups and teams, need to listen carefully to the client's speech patterns to understand what drives an individual  and what might be in their frame of reference.

Then, in analysing the process, how as a practitioner of TA you might support them to gain insight, understanding and choose actions - this is a skill which we can all develop.

This workshop begins with a brief introduction/reminder about Drivers and Working Styles and will then lead into an exploration of Paul Ware's Contact doors - to identify preference in terms of Thinking, Behaving and Feeling.  
The Permission Wheel is an elegant model which aids reflective practice.

This workshop will present the model, which represents how large or limited is one’s permission in various areas of self, relating to others, and in experiencing the world.

​First designed within the therapy field, we will take this opportunity to apply The Permission Wheel to ourselves on a personal and professional level.  How does this model help me?  How can I use it with my clients?
In 1964 Eric Berne wrote the book Games People Play.  It is still in print.

Human beings get into 'stuff' with each other - some trivial or mildly upsetting, to some with disasterous consequences.

These dynamics can be played out within personal relationships, or within teams and individuals in a workplace setting.  The result can be a loss of productivity, a loss of good staff and/or a loss of wellbeing.  A thorough exploration of psychological games: why we play them; what we can do instead of playing games and how to recognise a game when it is happening.  Using Karpman's Drama Triangle, we will learn to analyse the roles and positions, the movements and dynamics in a psychological game.
