Transactional Analysis (TA) is a remarkably effective and empowering approach for guiding young people, adults, couples, families, and teams to heal the past, live in the present, and co-create their future. Therapists who use TA say it is invaluable both as a short-term approach to change and as a significant focus for ongoing psychotherapy. It is useful in many fields of practice in addition to psychotherapy.

Help your clients and students learn to:

• Increase their capacity for spontaneity, awareness, and intimacy
• Resolve unhealthy attachments and replace them with healthy relationships
• Overcome low self-esteem and repetitive patterns such as 'Kick Me'
• Change limiting beliefs, early decisions, and dysfunctional life scripts to live a joyful life

"TA provides an excellent foundation for all therapists because it gives you a roadmap of what to do. If you are not familiar with TA, this course is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in learning its principles and practices."
Ellyn Bader, Ph.D., Author. Co-founder of The Couples Institute, Palo Alto, California and past president of the International Transactional Analysis Association.

The two-day, 12 CE credit course includes:

• How to identify Life Scripts and reverse negative effects of early decisions
• How to recognize clients' Ego States – their neurobiological makeup
• How to facilitate successful personal and work relationships through Transactional Analysis
• How to manage acting out behavior and structure treatment effectively
• How to bring about cognitive, behavioral, and emotional growth through contractual TA treatment and coaching

"Some schools of psychotherapy have mistakenly pigeonholed TA as a simplistic, popular fad from the 70's. I've been a therapist for decades, and TA language and theory is what I always come back to no matter what else I learn."
Chuck W. Holland, MA, LPC, Ft. Worth, Texas
