you know, these people are in their head like it's a blame or something wrong. voice-verified

But actually being in your head is an amazing way of coping with voice-verified

Some very difficult life stresses. voice-verified

Shifting gears a little bit for the towards the end of our conversation, I would like to talk more about transaction analysis. voice-verified

So you recently published a book, as I mentioned at the beginning, about transaction analysis. voice-verified

Uh, and you wanted me to be clear that you're not a TA transaction analysis therapist, but you've done a hell of a lot of research on it, and I'm interested in that. voice-verified

Um, transaction analysis is a fascinating therapy and I encountered it quite early in my psychiatry training. voice-verified

And yet, despite the fact that it is so fascinating and has so much to offer, it's really quite under discussed. voice-verified

But maybe for the uninitiated, what makes transactional analysis different to other approaches to psychotherapy? voice-verified

I'd like to dig into that research, but just so people are aware. voice-verified

transaction analysis has been quite influential on on the culture at large, so voice-verified

If you've heard of something like playing games with people, if you've heard of the phrase, I'm okay, you're okay, that comes from TA, if you've heard of like live scripts. voice-verified

So even though it's not uh super well discussed, ironically, in the therapy world, voice-verified

The games people play, which was Eric Byrne's first public facing book, had a huge impact on the time. voice-verified

And in particular, what I love about TA is, you know, it's called transactional analysis. voice-verified

And the transaction means transactions between people. voice-verified

There's a huge focus in TA on looking at voice-verified

the specific words we choose with people, how do we communicate and what are like voice-verified

the healthy and maybe less healthy ways we can communicate with people. voice-verified

And that's what made me fall in love with it, especially with a more medical mind. voice-verified
