What do people play?
This is a question that has probably crossed your mind more than once when someone in your company has behaved in a way that was unexpected and surprising to you.
Psychological game
is a "clumsy way to enter into a relationship"
- This is how Fanita English defines the game.
This is one of the ways in which we spend time with other people. We then make a choice between a state of I can:
- quarrel
- looking for a hook on someone,
- zło feel or experience various unpleasant emotions or
- I talk about what I feel and what I need directly and I am so accepted by the other person.
Each of us, in the course of our lives, has developed two or three games that we play most often. We call them life games. We start each of them from some place in a dramatic triangle, a so-called role: Rescuer, Victim or Persecutor.For each game, we always need a partner who will take up our invitation and, in parallel, play their game, perfectly matching ours.
You know that feeling when you find yourself once again caught up in the same conversation, which ends in frustration, guilt or... silent suspension? Seemingly everything is 'normal', and yet something about this dynamic is captivating. It could be a psychological game.
Psychological games are repetitive patterns of interaction that seem ordinary at first glance - but end up leading to tension, misunderstandings and emotional cost. We fight them often unconsciously - in professional, family and friendship relationships.
Why learn to recognise them?
Because this is the first step to leaving disadvantageous roles, stopping the vicious circle and building healthier, more authentic relationships.
At work is a skill that:
- helps to set boundaries without entering into conflicts,
- facilitates difficult conversations,
- supports teams in emerging from the dynamics of blame and discouragement.
In his personal life is a chance to:
- stop "rescuing" when no one is asking for help,
- not to fall into the traps of 'always me' or 'him again',
- regain influence over your choices and emotions.
Are you fed up...
...conversations that are supposedly about specifics but end in misunderstanding and tension?
...situations in which you feel caught up in other people's emotions, expectations or reproaches?
...endless 'firefighting' in a team or in a relationship that was supposed to be a partnership?
...of being a Rescuer, even though no one asked you to be one - or a Victim, even though you were supposed to act with power?
What if we said.
...can you learn to recognise these patterns before you get into them?
....are there specific tools to get out of emotional games and back into the OK-OK conversation?
...it is possible to talk without roles that take away power - and to build relationships in which everyone takes responsibility for themselves?
...just being aware of a few mechanisms is enough to gain a whole new quality of contact - at work and in private life?
