In this session we will revisit some of Berne’s major contributions to theory.
We will reflect on the original definitions of these terms and think about their relevance philosophically and clinically. I believe that a deeper understanding of these ideas can offer us alternative ways of working with people that draw deeply on the concept of I’m Ok You’re OK and can provide us with a model that focusses on our innate strengths rather than our flaws.
They can also give us a different way of seeing ourselves in relation to the world and the wider environment whilst we wrestle with the implications of the corona virus, climate change and social division.
