We are obliged to play multiple roles every day. Our attitudes vary more of less consciously depending on the situation and the people we encounter. This is how we express our personality.

According to the theory of Transactional Analysis, we can alternately play the characters of "Parent", "Adult" and "Child" and, according to the logic of each of these roles, we may be in a position of domination, exchange or submissiveness, and we may freely express our feelings or alternatively hold them back... Life can be compared to a theater where we wear various masks depending on the circumstances, but where we always follow a well-established script.

Understanding these communication games, these "transactions" between two or more people, deciphering them and analyzing our behavior, our words and our feelings can enable us to avoid becoming prisoners of a type of reaction and constantly replaying the same scene and the same role in a film which does not necessarily correspond to the deeper reality of our situation.

To know ourselves better and to know how others feel about us can prevent us from falling into traps, from reproducing the same errors too frequently and from reliving the same situations in our relationships with others whether it be as a couple, as a family, or in the professional context...

The Transactional Analysis approach has been used for self-development for more than forty years, as well as for skill assessment and group dynamics.
