Transactional Analysis

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their interactions with other people by using complimentary Transactions – a term that refers to the communication exchanges between two people based on the work of Eric Berne. If you have ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns of behaviour and get the same responses from the same person – this could show you why and how to break that pattern for the better!
