Adult to Adult: Using Transactional Analysis to Reach Avoiders, Disrupters, and Anxious Students
Wednesday July 22, 2026 8:30am - 10:00am CDT
Rm. 1203 - Northwest High School
This 90-minute workshop reveals how Transactional Analysis explains why the anxious student becomes more dependent on reassurance, why the avoider shuts down when we offer help, and why the disrupter escalates when we set limits. You'll learn to identify the ego states driving problematic behaviors and practice Adult-to-Adult interventions that build student capacity instead of reinforcing stuck patterns. This isn't lecture-based theory. Through case study planning and scenario analysis, you'll develop concrete strategies for your most challenging students—the ones who avoid, disrupt, dysregulate, and catastrophize. Perfect for: Anyone working with middle and high school students who want practical tools that actually shift behavior patterns.
