Unconscious scripts drive game playing from "summary" of Games People Play by Eric Berne, MD
In the game of life, people are often guided by unconscious scripts that dictate their behaviors and interactions with others. These scripts are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that have been learned throughout a person's life, often starting in childhood. They can be influenced by a variety of factors, including family dynamics, societal norms, and personal experiences. These unconscious scripts can drive the games that people play in their relationships with others. For example, someone who has learned to seek attention through negative behaviors may consistently engage in games that elicit a response from those around them. Similarly, someone who has learned to avoid conflict at all costs may find themselves playing games that involve manipulation or passive-aggressive behavior. These scripts can be so deeply ingrained that individuals may not even be consciously aware of them. Instead, they may find themselves repeating the same patterns of behavior over and over again, wondering why they always seem to end up in the same types of situations. These unconscious scripts can shape the way people perceive themselves and others, influencing their beliefs about relationships, power dynamics, and communication. By becoming aware of these unconscious scripts, individuals can begin to break free from the cycle of playing games that no longer serve them. Through self-reflection and introspection, they can start to uncover the underlying beliefs and motivations that drive their behaviors. With this awareness, they can begin to make more conscious choices in their interactions with others, breaking free from the constraints of their unconscious scripts.- By understanding the role that unconscious scripts play in driving game playing, individuals can take steps towards creating healthier, more authentic relationships with those around them. They can begin to break free from the patterns that have been holding them back and start to build connections based on honesty, openness, and mutual respect. By doing so, they can live more fulfilling lives and create more meaningful connections with those around them.
