"I could tell that it was my Father speaking through me." In this Interview with academic director and transactional trainer Patrick brook Paul and Patrick discuss Ego states and how they can impact our lives. Patrick explains the adult, parent and child ego states and how transactional analysis brings awareness about how people learn what they learn. With awareness, it’s possible to change and take responsibility for things and transactional analysis helps individuals understand their locus of control in any given situation. Listen in to hear fascinating informative content about ego states that will put you on the path to awareness and understanding of yourself KEY TAKEAWAYS This show contains branded product placement It’s suggested that the personality is structured into 3 main categories including the parent ego state The parent ego state is the part of our personality where we have copied primary caregivers. It’s the idea that we think, behave and act in the same way as primary caregivers The adult ego state is a more here-and-now reflective state. In adult ego state you are much more able to look at the potential options available The child ego state is a version of ourselves from earlier The structural model of the ego states helps you understand communication The functional model only looks at the behaviours that are critical It’s about how people learn what they learn In life, awareness can change us and how we take responsibility for things without feeling like a victim Transactional analysis helps people to understand their locus of control in any given situation You can reflect on how you can find your power and not feel powerless in a situation Awareness means having a more dynamic relationship with your adult ego state BEST MOMENTS ‘Knowing why you might be thinking the way you do about something is empowering and liberating ‘A benefit of understanding your ego states is being able to think about the contents of your parent and child ego states and more of your adult ego state so that you can respond rather than react’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube NUMIND WELLNESS OFFER - 20% DISCOUNT AVAILABLE WITH THIS CODE https://numindwellness.com/ use Code: PAUL20 RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.connexusinstitute.com/ https://www.connexusinstitute.com/about-us/meet-the-team/patrick-brook/ ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
