It's like you using a TA frame, you can look at the nuts and bolts of how people talk to each other and derive so much like psychological wisdom from that. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

And the nice thing about what you just laid out is it's not saying any one ego state is bad. voice-verified

So it might be tempting to say, for example, being in the uh critical parent where you tend to be critical towards yourself or others, or being the adapted child where you tend to like submit to the demands of yourself or others. voice-verified

That that is that these ego states might be bad or unhealthy, but what you're saying no, it's not about any one ego state. voice-verified

It's about how well can you as an individual, how can you move between voice-verified

These different ego states according to the demands of the situation that you're in. voice-verified

Precisely. voice-verified

You know, how much agency do you have over these ego states? voice-verified

Precisely. voice-verified

And as I said earlier, I love the concept of games. voice-verified

And obviously games is something, you know, peop we talk about, people say, you know, you're playing games with me. voice-verified

From a TA perspective, what does it mean to play games? voice-verified

And then what's like a healthier alternative to playing games? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

I came across this definition of games once that I really love, and it's like games are a way of avoiding the vulnerability of intimacy or the vulnerability of like real expression. voice-verified

So for example voice-verified

Imagine two parents, they just drop off their kids at school and they're talking to each other. voice-verified

And what one parent might be feeling is, gosh, I'm really worried this school might be not good enough. voice-verified

I'm really worried about how my kids are gonna do in studies and in their life. voice-verified
