The book "How to Understand Yourself Better. A guide to my 1TP1Conscious Self".

Brief factual description of the book:

How much Adult, Child and Parent in us? Where do our inner boundaries run? How do we combine the different roles in life, and how do we give up the ones that no longer serve us? What do we really need in relationships? What patterns do we unconsciously reproduce in them? What psychological games do we play - and why do we play them? When can we say "I am OK the way I am"? And which thoughts, emotions or beliefs are worth letting go of in order to start living more in harmony with ourselves?

This book is a collection of articles prepared by the coaches of the Encounter Group for the magazine 'Newsweek Psychology', inviting us to look at ourselves with more attentiveness.

To discovering what lies behind our choices, reactions and way of being. To understand that we can consciously shape our lives - and reclaim what is most precious: authenticity and agency. Each topic covered is enriched with questions, exercises and practical tips.

All of this is framed in the spirit of transactional analysis - an approach that helps you understand yourself and others better, gives you a language to describe relationships and concrete tools to work on change and development.
