Aims
Welcome to the Metis Institute blog. Here we write about Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy training, Depth TA, and the lived realities of becoming a therapist—especially for career-changers and early-career helpers. You will find reflections on TA concepts (ego states, life script, games, and relational patterns), alongside depth psychology, embodied practice, and the role of image, movement, and creativity in psychotherapy. We aim to offer writing that is clear, rigorous, and human, supporting both study and discernment as you consider your next step.
