Welcome To Our Free Tour!

^T^{his
tour is designed to show you what our site is all about! (More
Interactive Stories can be found on page 2 of the Tour.) It will
demonstrate what our team of experts can do to help you use the powerful
tools of Transactional Analysis (TA) to not only improve your
relationships with other people and to communicate more clearly with
those around you, but also to broaden your business and leadership
skills, to raise your children more effectively, to make clearer
decisions about how to operate on a day-to-day basis, or, if you would
like, to redesign your entire life.}

^{If
you've read the opening paragraphs on our Home Page, or viewed one of
our Interactive Stories, you've already
learned that all of us are made up of not just
one "personality," but of four separate
"personalities" (or "ego states" as we call them),
each with its own body language, attitudes, vocabulary, facial
expressions, gestures, and tone of voice. These ego states are not

theoretical. They are "phenomenological
realities." That is, they exist in real life. Virtually
anyone who knows what to look for can spot them in other people, and
books have even been written to explain them to
children.}

^{Each
of these ego states interacts with the ego states in everyone else's
personality, and most of our relationship problems and problems in
communicating with other people occur when we address one part of
another person's personality, yet receive a response from a part we had
no intention of dealing with. Typically, this causes us to become
drawn into arguments we had no plan of engaging in, to become involved
in conversations with no resolution, and to react to people in a myriad
of other ways that rarely serve our best interests.}

^{Here at Clarity-Now, you will learn how to stop falling into these traps.
You will learn how to spot the individual ego states in everyone
else's personality, you will learn how each of these parts operates, and
you will learn how to communicate clearly with the part of each person's
personality that you want to speak to.}

^{Here, you will also learn how to understand the separate parts of
your own personality, so that when you are "conflicted" about certain
things, uncertain about what you want to do next, or following old
patterns of behavior that no longer fit your conscious intentions, you
will be able to sort your problems out for yourself, make clearer decisions, and
arrange to run your life more to your own liking.}

^{Beyond that, you will learn how to determine the
manner in which your
own ego states interact with each other - how and when you grant permissions to
yourself to do certain things, how you withhold such permissions, how you judge yourself, how
you nurture yourself}^{,
how you organize your life based on what you want to do - versus
what you think you "should" do (usually, but not always, derived from
what older people once told you that you "should" do), and many other
aspects of how you have heretofore operated more or less automatically
without actually knowing you did so.
You will learn how you give and receive strokes, how each of your ego
states strokes other people, how your early stroking patterns influenced
the life script you wrote for yourself and are currently living (as well
as how you can change these
patterns and alter your life script, if you choose to do so).}

^{All this is available to you through the use of TA, and all of it can
be learned by you now, at Clarity-NOW.com, by participating in
one of our Working Groups.}
