Shrinkle #21 · Classic idea · 6 letters
Life script
An idea from transactional analysis: an unconscious plan, formed in childhood from messages we absorbed, that quietly shapes our choices and the story we expect our life to follow.
In the room
A therapist might help a client notice a repeating pattern, like always ending up rescuing others, and question whether that old storyline still fits.
Something a client might say
“Everyone in my family ends up unhappy, so I guess that's my future too.”
An illustrative line, not a real client.
Where it comes from
Life scripts come from transactional analysis, developed by Eric Berne.
