Living Beyond Script

8 weeks of support, discernment, encouragement, and personal growth led by Lucy Freedman, MAT, CTA, TAPI.

If so, please join me for an eight-week journey with a small group of fellow travelers, where we will:

• Make the time for ourselves that we deserve, to reflect and deepen our self-knowledge
• Identify leverage points for opening ourselves to a more fully satisfying life
• Listen and absorb the emergent wisdom from a group of peers
• Increase the depth and relevance of our work with others
• Explore tools for living while addressing decisions, actions, and emotions in the present

How You Will Benefit

You will

• Apply key ideas from transactional analysis and Syntax for Change to your life now
• Crystallize insights to help with your top priorities
• Feel the support of others with whom you can safely share your experience
• Increase your ability to be authentic with the important people in your life

Each session includes a warmup, reflection and intention-setting, a conceptual framework for insight, discussion, and action, progress check-ins, and relevant learning materials. We will create a space of acceptance, curiosity, and possibilities.

Participants are asked to attend every session; what happens here will not be captured in a recording for others to watch later. Only ongoing participants will have access to the recording if we so choose. If you cannot attend at least six times, we ask that you not enroll this time.

Who and What Are Behind All This?

In my twenties, I discovered transactional analysis (TA) and Eric Berne’s concept of life scripts. The tools for uncovering our early decisions and how we were living them out day to day led me into new awarenesses and new practices that freed me up a lot. Personal and professional development went hand in hand as I embarked idealistically on the journey of applying and sharing what I was learning.

In my thirties I learned neurolinguistic programming (NLP) along with TA and related disciplines, such as psychodrama, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and coaching. NLP is a discipline for discerning the patterns that make a difference and learning how to learn them. This may sound abstract but it is the alphabet of how we create our human experiences on a moment-to-moment basis, from sensory experience to the mental and physical strategies we employ.

TA, NLP, Fernando Flores, and many other approaches to communication and change have enriched my journey. What is foremost now is to combine simplicity, presence, and skill, and “in service, give of what I have become.“ (from Stuart Wilde, “The Warrior’s Prayer”).

Thus, I offer a series of process groups organized around topics from multiple disciplines, grounded in transactional analysis.  While this is not a structured TA Practitioner program, the hours will count toward that certificate. People interested in TAP Certification are invited to speak with me about their current qualifications and goals, to see if we might enter into a TAP contract.

You can see an interview of me by Alexis Brink of USATAA here if you are interested.
