Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode Have you ever found yourself in a conversation that feels strangely familiar, like you’re following a script you’ve played out a hundred times before? Do you ever wonder why certain interactions with others leave you feeling frustrated, confused, or even infuriated? What if I told you that these patterns are part of a hidden game – one you might not even realise you’re playing?In part three of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis we’re exploring a fascinating and vital part of the TA world – the Games People Play as outlined in Eric Berne’s groundbreaking book of the same name.In this episode, we’re joined again by our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, to help take us through some of the most interesting and often played games from Berne’s book – along the way we’ll discover how these games can dictate our relationships, influence our emotions, and even determine our life choices. But what exactly are these games, why do we play them, and – most importantly – how can we break free from them?Book a Live Intro Seminar for the SPOA:https://spiritualpsychologyofacting.com/courses/online-intro-seminar/Support us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/TheSpiritualPsychologyofActingPodcastIf you’d like to get in touch with us, you can do so by emailing [email protected] you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you. Follow us:Instagram: SPOA - https://www.instagram.com/spiritual_psychology_of_acting/John Osborne Hughes - https://www.instagram.com/john.o.hughes1/Jordan Turk – https://www.instagram.com/jordan.turk/Twitter:SPOA - https://twitter.com/spiritualactingJohn Osborne Hughes - https://twitter.com/JOsborneHughesJordan Turk - https://twitter.com/jordantheturkFacebook: SPOA - https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualPsychologyOfActing An Awakened State production.Support the show
