Transactional Analysis

CONCEPT NOTE

Transactional Analysis is a model known globally, used to understand human behavior, communication, and relationships with self and others. Developed in the 1950s by the Late Eric Berne, the Transactional Analysis model is created to develop the capacity to make new decisions that alter the course of life. This powerful method is used to deal with complex human behavior via tools and techniques that can be easily understood by anyone, everyone. This is an experiential way to take a look at one’s behavior and interactions.

At Matrrix, we train and coach effectively to nurture these thoughts as we partner with clients to impart knowledge about the Transactional Analysis model. With this TA corporate solutions program, our clients have built better relations with self and others at work, making successful decisions along the way while leading, motivating and influencing strong business actions.

METHODOLOGY

The Matrrix Transactional Analysis program is developed to maximize a client’s personal and professional potential. Our methodologies used a systemized approach. We seek to develop 7 core competencies that bring massive changes to one’s thinking abilities. Clients who have undergone the TA corporate solutions program at Matrrix, have noted behavioral changes with a positive approach in their thinking, feeling, and actions.

The methodology focuses on understanding human communication that evolves from one of the three ego states - parent, adult, or child. Participants of the TA program develop the tendency to understand how people communicate and forge stronger relationships in business as well as personal life.

The process of learning starts with a pre-assessment program followed by a training program and is concluded with a post-assessment test.

The methodology is based on Adult learning process, aimed at reinforcement and retention of learnings, coach-led discussions, group discussions, meditations, assessments, experiential learning and much more. All these form a part of the TA corporate solutions program.

STRUCTURE

The Transactional Analysis corporate solutions program extends for 2 days.

Outline:

Matrrix incorporates the core concepts for organizational development from the theory of Transactional Analysis along with an aim to improve the quality of life for all. The structure in our Transactional Analysis model has helped professionals work with great efficiency in all cultures while maintaining healthy relationships at every level. 

TA is about the ‘transactions’ that happen every time we exchange information with others, leading to greater interpersonal dynamics and a series of successful transactions. This program takes one on a journey of self-discovery while instilling new things and knowing the art of its implementation in the day-to-day tasks.

1. The TA program makes people aware about the styles of responses one chooses in stressful situations. Professionals learn about Functional Analysis that makes one aware of one’s own responses and patterns. One learns to develop the power to reflect before responding and observe instead of using the flight/fight/freeze response. The development of these abilities helps professionals overcome impulsive behavior helping them turn into stronger personalities at the end of the session.
2. The TA program is developed for participants to understand ego states as well as the themes and patterns that form the basis of our personality. The TA program goes into the depths of communication, interpersonal relationships, motivation levels, time management, attitudes, conflicts, and more.
3. The program takes a closer look at transactions and its types that occur in daily life. The basic level of TA involves identifying the ego state. This ego state responds when a transaction is initiated. Participates get an understanding about the complementary, crossed and ulterior transactions in this program.
4. Modeled on the key concepts of Transactional Analysis theory, the program is devised to expand on certain socially dysfunctional behavioral pattern also known as “games”. These are a set of transactions that we find repetitive in nature and sometimes act as a layer to mask the direct expression of one’s thoughts/emotions. Participants learn the multiple layers of emotions and communication through an engaging and interactive session by Dr. Paras, founder at Matrrix and an award-winning life coach.
5. The program explains the necessity of the applications of ‘discounting’- this includes devising a systematic way to identify the nature and intensity of discounting which also acts as a powerful tool for problem-solving. One gains awareness of other ‘options’ to the same problem making this a must for corporates.
