Life Script: Who Writes the Story of Your Destiny and How to Change the Ending?
Have you ever noticed yourself repeating the same mistakes? Choosing similar partners, reacting to criticism in the same way, or stopping just a step away from success? Psychologists call this a Life Script.
Within the MriyaRun project, we help you become more than just a bystander—we help you become the "director" of your own life. Let's explore how this mechanism works and why your diaries are tools for "rewriting" your destiny.
What is a Life Script?
The founder of this concept, Eric Berne, defined a script as an unconscious life plan formed in early childhood under parental influence. This plan is reinforced by subsequent events and leads to a resolution chosen in childhood.
As psychotherapist Fanita English notes, a script is initially developed as a protective structure. Without it, we would feel like a "leaf in the wind." It provides a sense of meaning, even if that meaning involves suffering.
Why do we become "hostages" to the plot?
- Child Logic: We make life-altering decisions (e.g., "never trust anyone") at an age when our thinking is not yet fully developed.
- Information Filtering: Our script acts as a filter, cutting off opportunities that might change our story.
- Inheritance: We unconsciously copy our parents' behavior patterns, continuing their plot in our own lives.
Types of Scripts: What Role Are You Playing?
Transactional Analysis identifies three main types: Winner, Non-winner (banal), and Loser. There are also process scripts: "Until," "After," "Never," or "Always."
How MriyaRun Helps You Exit the Script
Maria Teresa Tosi believes we can "edit" our life story. MriyaRun products are designed for this exact "editing" process.
- Awareness through “The Mistress of Her Boundaries Diary” Scripts often persist due to an inability to say "no." Working with boundaries helps you recognize "child logic" and build autonomy.
- Emotional Intelligence as a Key to Freedom EQ diaries help transform physiological discomfort into understood feelings. Once you understand your emotion, the script loses its power over you.
- Metaphorical Associative Cards (MAC) – The Language of the Unconscious MAC cards speak the language of images. It is the fastest way to find your "script matrix" and see new possibilities.
