Games People Play to Avoid Genuine Intimacy
Description
In this video, Rabbi Shais Taub discusses Eric Berne's Transactional Analysis, a psychological framework his father introduced him to. He delves into the concept of the "games people play"—subconscious patterns of interaction people use to avoid genuine intimacy. When repeated often enough, these games evolve into a life script—a narrative people adopt as their identity. Discover how understanding these dynamics can lead to greater self-awareness and deeper, more authentic relationships. #Psychology #TransactionalAnalysis #RabbiShaisTaub #SelfAwareness This video is an excerpt from the lecture "My father’s stories (and jokes) that made me who I am" WATCH the full lecture HERE ⤵️ • https://youtu.be/LN1edJpU1zg?si=16kXIJXbZgaGKW-- 👉 Follow Rabbi Shais Taub • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 👉 Support our work at: • https://www.soulwords.org/donate/ • PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/soulw... • CashApp: https://cash.app/$soulwords • Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/soulwords . . . . . . . . . . .
