TA Deep Dive: Relational Needs: A Healing Tool

A series of five 2-hour online workshops

Tuesday 21 October 2025 6pm - 8pm

Who is it aimed at


Psychotherapy trainees and TA Qualified Practitioners.


Workshop Outline


Since its conception as part of the integrative school of TA, ‘Relational Needs’, have been written about a lot and have been considered about in many ways. In this workshop we will explore in depth the original theory of ‘Relational Needs’, consider how they link to a range of other TA theories such as Protocol and Script, and even consider how they might be used intrapsychically.


This can be a really powerful tool not just for how we set up our relationship with the client but also as a way for resolving childhood trauma.


Aims


The Aim of this workshop is to give an in-depth understanding of ‘Relational needs’ and how to practically support them.


Learning Outcomes


Participants will have a theoretical and practical understanding of Relational Needs, and how they can use it in their client work.
