A two-day certified course that provides a clear structure for understanding personality, communication, and psychological patterns, and introduces you to professional training in psychotherapy.
✔ Understanding ego states (Parent – Adult – Child)
✔ Recognizing patterns of behavior and communication
✔ Insight into life script and unconscious decisions
✔ Official international certificate (ITAA)
Why do we sometimes react impulsively in important situations, even though we know how we should respond?
Why do certain patterns in relationships keep repeating?
The answers to these questions do not lie in “willpower,” but in patterns that were formed much earlier and that govern our behavior.
Transactional Analysis (TA) is one of the most practical psychological theories that:
TA is not a theory you only learn – it is a model you apply to yourself and in working with others.
You will understand the structure of personality through ego states
You will learn how transactions function in communication
You will recognize life positions and behavioral patterns
You will understand the concept of the life script and early decisions
You will recognize psychological games and their patterns
The training is led by internationally certified Transactional Analysis trainers:
Dr. Aleksandra Bubera Ninić, MD, specialist in psychiatry, TSTA-P (Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst – Psychotherapy), and MA Milena Marković, psychologist and communication scientist, PTSTA-P (Provisional Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst – Psychotherapy).
Other certified colleagues will be included in the training as they obtain the status of international TA trainers, as well as non-certified colleagues, who in such cases will work under the direct supervision and in the presence of certified trainers.
Supervisors are internationally certified Transactional Analysis trainers for hours that qualify as TA supervision.
For hours that qualify as non-TA supervision, supervisors may be supervisors from other schools/modalities, as well as regional, national, and local tutors and supervisors.
Experiential workshops and therapeutic marathons are facilitated by colleague psychotherapists who are not the primary educators and supervisors of the students.
