TRANSACTIONS - ADULT TO CHILD
Talking to the Child ego-state in small children, from your Adult,
will give information about feelings, and circumstances that
generate feelings. It also gives information about life and living
that small children use to make sense out of their world of
feelings and experiences.
Children do make decisions about adapting to their surroundings
but need information to help them make decisions that will be
satisfying for themselves in the long run. Without good
information from grow-ups, children will make decisions solely
based upon their limited knowledge. These decisions, then, are
often not know to grown-ups, who often wonder why children are
doing what they are doing.
A therapist, talking from their Adult to another’s Child, may give
information about why and how childhood decisions are made
and how current reality may or may not support those decisions
today.
Clients will ask for information from a therapist and then test that
information for validity. |
