Welcome. I am The Room.
The standard Transactional Analysis course gives you the tools to stay Adult: grounded, assertive, accountable. All of that is real and it works. But the standard course was not written with you in mind.
It does not tell you what to do when the same assertive communication that earns respect for your colleague earns you a performance improvement plan. It does not explain why staying Adult sometimes requires more energy from you than from anyone else in the room. And it does not address what happens when the Critical Parent is not a person — it is the institution itself.
This companion works from Duane Andrews' TA framework with an ENRICH Outsider lens. We will name what is actually happening in your workplace transactions, and build the Adult strategy that accounts for the room you are actually in.
