This essay weaves together a description of the process of transactional analysis psychotherapy with an account of one client's therapy—a client who asked, “What am I getting myself into?” as she started her work. This essay seeks to convey both the mechanisms and the experience of psychotherapy. It emphasizes work with psychological scripts and transference, the exploration of new possibilities for thinking and living, skill development, and the promotion of new neural pathways as the primary means of change in psychotherapy.
