Yesterday I had a really great interaction with my dad. He was talking to me about a subject we're both knowledgable about but have different opinions on. Usually I don't have the energy to maintain an Adult response to his usual 'my opinion = truth' type way of Parent-demanding-a-Child way of talking, but yesterday I did, and his normally aggrivating behaviour didn't bother me at all - it amused me :). Also, because I maintained a calm Adult state, his Parent state got a bit wobbly and started to become more of an Adult state. It was great!
So yeah, thanks for putting words to these states and encouraging healthy thoughts and responses, friend. :)
wow i really needed to see this in my life right now. I am currently having issues with being able to communicate with my dad for this same reason. Could you elaborate on what sort of things you said to bring him down to the adult state? And since you wrote this 6 months ago - how has it been for you to date?
@Lauren
hi
I’m really pleased to read this - it lets us all know it is possible. Sadly, it’s something I’ve never achieved with my father - even recently he did his usual of exploding over a topic and not listening to what I was saying. And I can identify with what was said in this video - his response makes me feel worthless and like a child (like I haven’t grown up and still can’t stand up to him). It’s one of the reasons I don’t talk to my parents much.
Marachime A bit late reading this but this speaks to me on a level that hits so close to home. Appreciate the explanation!
I can relate. I would say that I had a verbal smackdown with my dad and I decided to take no prisoners. That fear comes from people pleasing all my life. I have reached a breaking point.
Your TA videos helped me get out of an abusive relationship. Thank you.
That's great to hear
That's amazing x
i always knew i had a problem with my relationships either being me dependent on the other person, or the other person being dependent on me, but I never really knew there was a name for this process. I have a lot of trouble seeing other people as adults, I typically either see them as parents or children.
You writing this as Voldemort makes it kind of funny though :)
My man, here, will literally attempt muggle genocide rather than going to therapy.
this, this! THIS is the type of video i come to youtube to see, informative and objective, i had to sift through alot of shit in order to get to this pearl.
What do you think of this video 9 years later?
Agreed💯
This is a 9 year old comment of a 13 years old account.
Damm 11 years
@@IHatePeopleOfColor your pfp didnt exist when this vid came out
'How do i handle someone who talks over me so often and makes false accusations of me constantly?'
-In this situation, boundaries need to be reestablished. This can be done by behaving differently - with thoughtless interrupters, I sometimes just continue talking and train them into the idea that interrupting won't work. If they persist, I might draw their attention to it and ask them directly not to talk over me. If things don't improve, I'd probably cut off interactions, telling them why.
This is the way Narcissists operate, it's no wonder it works well for you
@@adriaticseaeyes ? How so
Gabriel Reid adriaticseaeyes is confused. theramin's hypothetical course of action is not the way narcissists operate. It could actually be used as a defense mechanism against them if you aren't dependant of them for your survival. Narcissists thrive off of drama and being the center of attention, they crave positions of power and control over other people. They do not like equal respect.
The theoretical person theramintrees talks about in the scenario could be a possible narcissist. They start out creating drama by constantly talking over people and making false accusations, therefore theremin would choose to adjust his attitude and behavior in accordance with the lack of respect he receives. If he cannot reach a point of common ground in honest equal conversation he decides to abandon the situation stating exactly why he does so in a level-headed respectful manner.
If they are talking over you... you talk over them? Yea that doesn’t make sense
@The Cannon
That's not what he said. Read again.
I think this is a wonderful introduction to the Ego States, but something very important has not been demonstrated or alluded to - and that's the Adult - Adult transaction, what that would sound and look like, such as between the boss and the employee who comes late to work. A perfect opportunity to assign and assume responsibility.
+Samantha White Thanks, this will be the exercise I design on the back of this - adult to adult let's create this...
If the start time was a problem, the adult to adult conversation would be to change the start time based on the individual challenges that person faces every morning, whether it's daycare or school or travel time. Fat chance of that, right? Kneel before me for I alone determine your fate.
@@whickervision742 The solution to the problem is not the same thing as the transaction. The solution is irrelevant to this approach. The Adult-Adult transaction would be that neither party yells, pleads, gets emotional, or gets in the other's face. The boss might say, "I need you here at 7." The employee might say, "I understand, and I try to get here on time, but I have no control over when my child's transportation arrives." The boss might say, "If you can't get here by 7 every morning, I can't use you and you may need to find another job," and the employee might say, "I'll see if I can get my neighbor to take my child to the school bus." Then the boss might say, "Let me know by tomorrow if you can work something out with your neighbor. I don't want to lose you, but I really need you here to start the shift on time." The boss doesn't yell, the employee doesn't cry. It's not Parent-to-Child, it's Adult-to-Adult.
@@samanthawhite6803
How is _"Kneel before me for I alone determine your fate."_
Different than..
_"If you can't get here by 7 every morning, I can't use you ... Let me know by tomorrow"?_
A sweeter tone?
Perhaps a smile?
@@Dr_Wrong "Kneel before me" is authoritarian. It literally puts the speaker above the other, for no apparent reason except ego. "I need you here by 7" is just a statement of fact. "I am not better than you, you are not less than I, but if you're not here by 7 then we can't open the doors to let customers in." Or, "The night crew can't leave if you're not here, and they're going to quit if they can't leave on time," or whatever the reason. It's just the fact. "Shift change has to occur at 7, that's the deal." Employees generally understand what the "deal" is when they accept the job. When an employee is habitually late, there's a problem, and it needs to be fixed somehow.
This should be very helpful for me, I find myself falling into the child state too often, I feel uncomfortable on the very rare occasions I'm forced into the parent state, but to be able to objectify this so well should help me stay in the adult state as much as I can.
Now I know what it's called, so I can identify it more easily.
Edit: what I'm saying is thank you!
I'm still relatively new to TA, and can't believe how helpful it is, especially when the concepts are presented in such an easy to digest form as in these excellent videos you have made. Thank you so much!
Having spent a good part of ~10-11 years in the psychology field I finally understood the purpose of illustrating these types of things in a metaphorical way. Originally my assumption was that these things, in this context the 3 ego states, were a factual reflection of what is actually going on. However it has only recently become apparent to me that illustrating things through metaphor is merely a tool to reflect the minutia of what we understand about what is actually going on. I honestly feel like once I stumbled upon this realization that everything I knew about psychology has become a bit of a "this isn't actually what is going on, but it's close enough to be useful in helping people" type ordeal, and going back through old videos like this one feels weird.
> "this isn't actually what is going on, but it's close enough to be useful in helping people"
Formalized by saying "similar-in-structure". The map isn't the territory, and the word isn't the thing. Etc.
@@rabbitcreative Was about to give the Yudkowsky "Map isn't Territory" and "Heuristics are still useful" but you beat me to it, great comment!
I think its called a model
This makes so much sense and explains a lot of things I've been trying to articulate about the relationships I have with people in my life currently, thank you
Learning about this as a ten year old is really interesting!
Therapy is indeed a disciplined activity. But one of the things I've found with TA therapists is that they're focussed on Adult exchanges. Psychodynamic theory seems to encourage a much more dependent Parent-Child relationiship - doctor-patient. TA, with its goal of strengthening Adult behaviours, seems much more geared to acknowledging client autonomy - moving away from the lazy interpretative excesses seen in psychoanalytical circles.
Great observation. Most therapists I've seen have very clearly taken a dominant/'Parent' role, and made the interaction feel inequal. Very few people address or acknowledge that there is a big power difference between the therapist and the patient, but I've always found it to be counterproductive and even harmful. It has led to situations where the therapist cannot be questioned, and if you do, you're portrayed as a difficult person who doesn't want to be helped. This leads the patient to not feel safe enough to stand up for themselves, too afraid to be seen as stubborn or difficult. Even worse, the patient can start to believe and internalize these things and it can lead to self-loathing, which worsens their mental wellbeing. This topic needs to be addressed and taken seriously. Your TA-approach of encouraging both parties to use Adult behaviour sounds much more equal and healthy, and I wish mental healthcare would learn from it.
I think I'm becoming more aware of applying transaction to my own life. As a person concerned about my self-perception of an well-reasoned and intelligent individual, my main objective is to strengthen the adult state as much as it can possibly can. Any feedback to my goals is good
@Animavore The first two videos in this series will cover material in the three video I did a couple of years ago. This one made a few different points of emphasis; the next, on games, will depart a little further from the previous videos. Then there will be three new videos, looking at gimmicks. RUclips games, and the TA of religion.
@venompangx 'I am all ears'
-You've just demonstrated that you're not. I've said explicitly that there is no heat - that it's just boring. And you've bypassed that. So what meaning does saying 'you're all ears' have exactly? You don't need to announce that you're all ears - if you are, you'll show it in your response. If not, that'll be clear too.
I remember this from A-level Psychology. It's nice to see it reiterated clearly and concisely like this. I never did ask for an example of a Child-Child conflict. I can't imagine if, or how, that transaction would occur... Hmmm, I'll be thinking about that now for some time :P Anyway - I'm looking forward to part 2!
Imagine an immature romantic relationship, where the two people have been relating as two children, having fun, either by eating out, watching movies, getting intoxicated together, and/or, of course, being intimate with eachother. Then, while one is taking a shower before they “have fun” together, the other sees playful, suggestive messages from another lover on their phone. Immediately, shouting, screaming, name-calling, crying, even violent displays ensue. Unless it is their own home, the clothed member of the couple is likely to eventually storm out; otherwise, the half-naked member of the couple may find themselves on the street! Neither will admit fault; lots of emotion will get flung around. Seems like a child-child conflict to me! 🤔
@IShallNotSubmit Yes - this video is a summary of two old videos I did. They felt clunky, sound was atrocious, and visuals a bit all over the shop. Plus I wanted to extend the series.
Been reading Berne's 'Games People Play' today and it's a revelation. As much as I might pride myself on my efforts to be rational and decent most of the time, I'm almost always in Parent or Child mode. Really behaving and feeling like an Adult, suddenly I feel better physically and don't hate myself. No need to take things personally, feel stung or wounded, or react acerbically or moralistically.
I hope I can keep this up. I think up to now I've been trying to be the Adult, but really just being a Parent, adopting an attitude that was a little superior and pious.
Like I say, I hated myself.
@uncletigger With your mention of scientology, the penny drops - so this is why you're calling TA a cult. See? If you're clearer about the connections you're making, we can discuss them. If you just leave some insult, we can't. TA is simply a theoretical framework. Like person-centred theory, gestalt, psychoanalytic theory. No membership, no coercion, no penalties, no fees, no shunning or criticising 'non-believers'. A theoretical framework. Doesn't work for you? Don't use it. Simple.
It's a defensive mechanism to "Do As I Wish"..Did Alister Crowley write this? My parents were duped into a con artist who makes a living brainwashing suckers in this robotic thinking...has made a great living skimming money off upper middle class adult "wounded children" where I live
I have to say, your videos are fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these.
Kudos to you Sir!
Amazing, your search for knowledge is very humble.
I hate the ego it was one of the biggest blocks to my learning for the first 25 years of my life.
I can only be a child with close friends or if i get triggered.
And when i talk about destroying my ego it looks like im trying to move to adult ego
I didn't realize you've been making content for this long. Your stuff is as amazing now as it was 10 years ago
These videos are surreal, there's dense, articulated content mixed up with hilarious aesthetics (the voices switch sounds so funny), just like a parent / adult / child chimera.
I just showed this video to a class yesterday as part of a presentation on transactional analysis. My classmates loved the video. It really illustrates the concept of ego states well!
@SolaceProficiens 'I think that people of all ages/roles may express context-specific healthy or unhealthy nurturing, judgment, need, glee, shame... '
-TA doesn't conflict with that idea. It sees a place for all the ego states - and in fact suggests that problems can occur when one or more are consistently absent. But it also explores contexts where the states can lead to conflict/games. It's ok if you're not 'sold' on any of it - they're just metaphors that some will find useful, some won't.
@lordreith Thanks for your feedback sandwich. Personally, my strong preference is for longer videos - watching them and making them. But I know that others, like yourself prefer them shorter. I guess I'm catering to folks like myself in that respect. RUclips sent me a list of factors to make 'the perfect video' - including a 'perfect length'. I almost vomited on the spot. ;8)
This one hit really close to home, i have a friend who does pretty much all those things (i would be the child). Now, its not like he does it on purpose, i dont necessarily blame him, probably just his nature. This really helped alot, this and all your other videos. Fantastic youtuber!
Link: I just love your examples. They are always clever and serve so well in making transparent the concepts you're explaining. I especially like the dialogue you wrote for your animated people and how the voices of the P, A and C were different (or the PAC: you love acronyms). Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks so much for these videos on TA, theremin. They're fantastic and straight to the point :)
I like TA a lot and I think these videos (including the first ones you originally made a while ago) really sum it up well, and are relevant and interesting for people who don't know much about it to become interested in it. Can't wait to see the rest.
This is a really useful framework. Thanks for shedding light
Thank you, this is food for my soul in a very lonely world. Puts the pep in my step.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much for making this series
HOLY SMOKES! This is the BEST video/info I have seen on this topic. Absolutely fantastic!
@CoachConstance Hello Couch Constance. Thank you - and I've never been one to pass up a free lunch. The impetus for these vids came when I asked to conduct a workshop on TA on an integrative course - gestalt, cbt, psychoanalytic theory, etc., were all covered, but not TA. But people said out of all of them, TA got their juices flowing - it was so immediate and cut to the chase of gluey, tangled up old relationships. Which is what I've always thought.
i love TA. it's something i've been researching as a hobby for 10 years now. i loved your video and look forward to more.
This model is really useful. I love thinking about TA when I'm talking with people or watching a transaction.
A while ago there was someone I spoke at and not with. I was ignorant of the fact I was doing this, then the person cut contact and was someone who was still unavoidable in my day to day life. I'm extremely glad they did cut me off. In the beginning I would question why they stopped interacting with me but that moved to me questioning what I did wrong. I haven't spoken to them since but if I do ever see them again I'm just gonna be as nice and thankful to them and if they want to talk about it we can.
I just picked up the book: Games people play, by, Eric Berne. And on the front cover it says, transactional analysis so I looked that up and got the definition which was not too helpful and then clicked on this video and it explained it perfectly! Thanks!
Excellent work, Trees.
Much food for thought here - it's great to review these ideas.
This gave me some perspectives from which to evaluate my relationship as a parent to Lizzy.
My tendency is to treat her (as much as is safe and practical) as a yet-to-be-informed young adult.
...seems to be working pretty well, actually.
Thank you, you have described TA really well here and your supporting graphics are helpful.
I've not heard of that conceptualisation. But I know people take concepts in all kinds of directions. Claude Steiner sent me a message a few years ago saying the characterisations in this video were spot on in terms of where he and Berne were coming from.
@38dragoon38 'I would argue that the overwhelming factor within "relationships" is POWER.'
-Personally, I would phrase this another way: an overwhelming factor is the perception of power. And perception is often blinkered when we go into various states of mind - eg, submissive or aggressive in an unaware way. Solutions may indeed be political - but underpinned by the psychological state. By the way, the examples of Jackie aren't prescriptive, but a light way of going into the subject.
This is exceptionally interesting and helpful. Thank you very much, TheraminTrees!
@HiAdrian Thanks HiAdrian. I found TA transformative in my relationships - I know that won't be true for everyone, but if there are people who it does something for, it's good to share this stuff.
@74Charm [cont2] My own feeling about people who habitually go into helpless Child behaviours around me in my personal life, is that I'm not going to enable that behaviour - a) I get manipulated, and b) I keep the person from growing. There can be conflict - manipulative ploys increase rather than decrease when confronted with boundaries. And sometimes, they'll just find other enablers. But again, it's amazing how people *can* change when their helpless behaviour doesn't work.
@venompangx 'Responding to comments' means nothing if what you're responding with are distortions and misrepresentations. So. Don't sidestep. You've repeatedly claimed I 'admitted liberally deleting' comments. I said no such thing, and I want an acknowledgement of that.
@S0chan This is simplified deliberately, to make it accessible - to put the concepts out there. What TA offers are thinking tools to start to step out of situations that can feel hopelessly tangled - and take that sense of inevitability out of them.
Wow, it's only the first video and I already feel like this has helped me so much. I have a huge problem with these kind of interactions. I'm quick to respond to other peoples "states" with how they expect me to behave. I don't do it ALL the time but with some people (like my mom) it just happens constantly. Now I'm hopeful the following videos will help even more. I've been trying to find a way to establish a balanced adult relationship to my mom for years now, I just don't seem to be able to.
Vid 11 years ago really helps me today, thanks!
I'm reading games people play and it's quite verbose so this helped me get the gist of it, thanks!
@Barkspawn Me too. I'm constantly learning, particularly with the behaviour online that you tend not to experience face-to-face in everyday life. I think TA provides a great framework to understand dynamics.
@NicosMind "At the heart of things we are pretty much simple creatures with layers of crap piled on top."
-That's an image that resonates with me. For a long time, I've had an image of us when we're born, like a tiny flower, then a slab of stone coming down on us - distortions from weird cultural ideas and expectations - and then working through that to find the sun again and grow.
Fantastic explanation, so so helpful. Thank you for sharing your work :)
this has been in my recommended for a year. I will watch this, youtubr
Thank you Sir very much. Your style of explaining/teaching is simply great.
I'm actually observing this dynamic in a lot of situations. I tend to be very judgmental, so I guess I often times find myself in parent mode. This is both at work and in my personal life. It's very tiresome and has led me to burn out in more than a few jobs and relationships. I hoard responsibility and the people around me tend to let me do it, to the point where it leads some of them to become irresponsible and often even childish. This has led me to change fields of work and also friends circle more than once, yet the problem persists, so it must be me. The most intuitive way to try and fix it has always been to counterbalance the parent mode with child, i.e. throwing a tantrum or suddenly shedding all the responsibility, but this has proven quite destructive over the years. It's really hard to strike a balance and what I ended up doing was to become more and more of a recluse. Interestingly the few friends that I have left are all unapologetically mental children, constantly making me feel as if I have to be a better example to them, often making me overcompensate. It's as if the opposites attract. My takeaway from the video is that I should work on me trying to be more in adult mode, i.e. sometimes simply accept certain behaviours or viewpoints of others without always necessarily making them my mission or responsibility to "correct".
@LessthansignThree Hello LessthansignThree, I've been dipping in quite infrequently over the past few weeks due to some family stuff. But the next video will be out by tomorrow, or at the latest, on Saturday. Although, I have to say I'm really looking beyond that, because I want to get onto the appendixes for this series - looking at RUclips games and religious games. All the best!
Very useful. Because we rate this, we've embedded this in our MTL Course Plans on ManageTrainLearn and on our online courses on My Learning Log so it's available to a bigger audience. Thanks!
This channel is a GOLD MINE
Thank you so much for your videos. They are always informative or respectful of others. Seeing how most self styled atheists seem to have a superiority complex, i find yours respectful and priceless.
@FortisConscius Thanks Fortis. TA was nowhere on the map on the psych courses I took from A level up to post-grad - seems such an oversight.
I like this theory. It actually makes a lot of sense. I recognize the problems I have in life regarding this theory but I think the hardest part is to actually break out of the complimentary relationship.
I'm Korean and have grown up in a Confucian background where you are constantly in the P-C state, and it is socially unacceptable to change that. This includes older people paying for meals, etc. Treating someone older than you as equal will quickly alienate yourself within Korean society.
@crazypills2 'Damn, it was supposed to be "kick our ass."'
-What does the 'Green sucks' thing refer to?
@tinySpectacle Thanks Lo. You remembered the Acronyms!!! ;8) TA does get horrendously involved at the extreme end - but then so many things do. But I've found the thinking tools they offer on communication invaluable in my own life in getting movement in those 'stagnant ditch' reltionships.
Currently reading "What do you say after you say Hello?" - ERIC BERNE, having a hard time figuring out TA, thanks for your video
Currently on a social course and this is very useful, thank you
This series is a very useful summary! Thanks for the work!
I love debates and I work with children-this was very informative, thanks Theramin.
Have you ever considered expanding your playlists into more series or content themes?
I love this channel, I find it supremely helpful at this stage in my life. But the only really good times to listen are when I'm commuting, and I can't sort through videos when I'm on the road.
I'm sure there may be others who would appreciate that as well.
You're brilliant Theramintrees. Keep em coming!
@TheraminTrees
Excellent. Look forward to it. Maybe I'll remember to do further reading on it this time (the recommended books where on my list of books to read but; you know how they go).
I am just revisiting this series. I thank you again TheraminTrees.
LOL I just recently fell for a girls pulling the child on me begging me to be the nurturing parent. "I won't be fooled again" .... well I hope I can retain the TA so I don't allow myself to be sucked in again.
@AutodidacticPhd I'm aware of the slippery slope you allude to. And I think it can become a slippery slope - when it becomes too easy a decision. When it's used sparingly, and with consideration and self-questioning - ie not in a flip, casual way - I think the slippery slope is halted. I think an unexamined stance is the least appealing. I used to have one - I allowed everything. Over 3 years, I've considered these issues deeply.
@AncientAtheist Hey John. I'm amazed how little time TA gets - even on multi-discipline psychotherapy courses. I think it's one of the stand-out systems for examining communication and interactions: slices through the sticky stuff that so many other approaches - even assertiveness theory - can leave you feeling at sea with. I had to ask to give a lecture on it at uni - and afterwards the students said they found TA leagues ahead of other theories on the course. So I'm on a mission! ;8)
Excellent video series
I subscribed to your channel for two reasons: 1) the topic of this video has always been of interest to me & 2) because of your absolutely fascinating accent.
RESPECT
Fantastically clear and easy to understand - the best explanation I've heard ever (and I've heard a few). I'm a trainer and coach by the way so not new to TA - I was looking for inspiration - thanks!
@GeatMaster This could be what's called a split transaction - the source of games and drama. I agree that the transaction you describe doesn't sound like Adult: the Adult would see the reason for the hold up, and know that shouting wouldn't get them anywhere. It could be a straight Parent 'Do better!' injunction.
Excellent video! I'm just about to watch the others in the series. Well done, looking forward to seeing more!
-Modias
This is the most amazing psychological video I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing!
Thanks, Jaye! Great video!
@chiron8839 It's very much in use - but it doesn't seem to get much coverage, even in integrative courses.
You can read Eric Berne he is the founder or of AT: " What Do You Say After You Say Hello" and "Games adults play".
I can't wait for the next one! This is brilliant!
Thanks K ;8) This came on the back of a postgrad course that explored various therapy models - CBT, gestalt, psychodynamic, etc. - but excluded TA. I asked if I could lead a seminar on TA, and afterwards thought I'd flesh my notes out into video form. I think TA offers some incredibly accessible metaphors.
Your stuff is great, Mr Theramin. Keep it coming, please ... fight against the distractions of the World and do more ...
Oooh, I like the tie on the controlling parent. Great graphic depiction. And I love that each person looks different.
(Oh dear, I laughed out loud at how Bill and Jacqui's relationship changed! Not because it was pleasant, but because it was such a realistic representation.)
This is FASCINATING. As always, WELL DONE. Here's to being more 'A' in all my life!
more things to learn about, I need more time. Excellent series.
I am grateful for this spirit guides i am grateful for my ancestors known to me and unknown i am grateful to be here in the present moment. I am grateful for what i do know i am grateful for what i dont know im grateful for who i am
Love it. I like psychological theories even though they don't apply AS universally.
Great video. Can't wait for the next one.
Wow. I stumbled on this video at such an apt time.
@deconverts Thanks deconverts. Some TA books are written in a very dense/heavy way. But I think the ideas are so useful and applicable, I wanted to try and put them out there in a digestible way. So your smoothie metaphor is great feedback. ;8)
that voice of the boss scared the shit out of me
This is a brilliant introduction to TA. TA has within it the code that I have been trying to understand my whole life! I look forward to working with it as a coach and in service of my personal transformation into an adult!
8:10 at school im always the "go-to" guy for help in classes from various friends and people. They ask for help and answers to questions, and i try to break the chain because i always say to myself,"if they don't do it themselves, they never learn", i don't think I'm better than them, or really any less, so i related to that portion of the argument.
I'd never heard of this; it's an intriguing theory and I always look forward to TT's videos.
This information woke me up in the mid 70's and now I've rediscovered it today. Simple, easy to apply and very life changing.
I love the way this is illustrated! A+ Very easy to understand!
'Wondering if you could at some point do a small video on video editing.'
-I plan to put out a brief video later this year on the software I use, which people often ask about - perhaps that'll cover what you're after. In the meantime, yes, I'm pretty tied up with a couple of videos that are important to me. Cheers!
