A psychology programme on destructive roles and manipulative transactions
Illusions are powerful defence mechanisms of our psyche. The weaker a person’s conscious “I”, the harder it is for them to rely on themselves and to be strong and significant among others, the deeper they hide behind inner illusions. The price of this shelter is huge: the loss of personal time meant for pursuing their true goals, needs and values and for taking part in their own life.
A person’s inner world is full of hidden fears: of rejection, of not being loved, of humiliation or helplessness. Trying to protect itself from them, the psyche splits into conflicting inner figures, which over time harden into stable unconscious roles: Tyrant, Rescuer, Victim (the classic Karpman triangle). These subpersonalities judge, criticise, take offence and demand power over others. Carried over into outer reality, they lay the ground for codependency, toxic communication and a chronic drain of personal energy.
This intensive practicum is aimed at exploring patterns of manipulative relationships in depth and mastering precise ways out of them. The programme is built on a synthesis of transactional analysis, coaching techniques, psychosynthesis and the emotional-imagery method. Thanks to the facilitator’s many years of practice, the structure of the programme stays the same while its applied set of techniques keeps improving and adapting to participants’ individual requests.
Length: 4 intensive modules (sessions take place at weekends)
Format: live online meetings on Zoom, working through participants’ personal situations, with demonstration work.
Sessions are not recorded.
About the author and facilitator of the practicum
The programme is led by a practising psychologist with more than 15 years of experience, a specialist in transactional analysis, deep transformation and projective psychological techniques.
Many years of working on this very theme allow the author to read the markers of manipulation instantly, create a strong and safe working space and give participants the most relevant techniques that actually work. The work rests on strictly scientific methods, which rules out superficial advice and supports lasting change in the structure of personality.
What does the practicum work on?
The programme is aimed at a thorough review of your inner space and an exploration of destructive patterns:
Contact with subpersonalities: finding and exploring your inner figures — the Victim, the Tyrant and the Rescuer. Understanding their shadow sides and hidden payoffs.
Defusing the conflict: finding a neutral, adult position for each figure, then synthesising them and bringing them together into a system you can manage.
Activating the Observer: switching on a stable figure of the Inner Observer, so you recognise manipulation instantly, in the moment.
Steadying your states: working with difficult emotions: anxiety, toxic guilt, chronic resentment, anger, apathy and helplessness.
Results. What will you carry into real life?
Having covered these four modules, participants gain solid applied skills for everyday life:
Managing inner conflicts. You will understand exactly how a person ends up in dependent and codependent relationships, and get a clear way of getting out of them.
Recognising manipulation. You will learn to read the signs of destructive communication and people’s hidden intentions instantly, even when on the surface everything looks calm and pleasant.
Protecting your boundaries. You will master the skill of saying a firm “no” without guilt or corrosive resentment afterwards, stop living out of a false sense of duty and start living your own life.
Psychological resilience. You will stop draining your energy into the endless cycle of “guilt — resentment — anger — pity”, find an inner core and the ability to make constructive decisions in any kind of communication.
Programme structure - 4 modules
Each module is a deep step from recognising your inner roles to completely reshaping your scripts of communication. The practicum uses individually chosen techniques: projective assessment, meta-modelling, emotional-imagery analysis, elements of psychodrama and work with symbolic systems.
Module 1. The structure of the triangle and recognising the roles
Exploring the inner structure of the Victim, the Tyrant and the Rescuer. Looking for childhood triggers and for the reasons the psyche splits into manipulative subpersonalities.Module 2. The mechanics of codependency and hidden payoffs
How inner roles are projected outwards and create scripts of dependency in personal life and career. Exploring the fear of rejection and of not being loved.Module 3. Tools for protecting yourself in conflict, and activating the Observer
Mastering practices for standing up to aggressors and leaving destructive conversations with care. Switching on self-observation.Module 4. Synthesis, wholeness and stepping into a free script
