This article was originally presented as a keynote speech at the European Transactional Analysis Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, on 10 July 2010. In the first part, the therapeutic journey of a long-time transactional analysis insider is divulged in a humorous way. In the second part, transactional analysis psychotherapy is addressed from an existentialist perspective. The author challenges the common understanding of transactional analysis concepts such as redecision, games, and permission and explores existential alternatives.
