Personal change and the OK corral
Though we switch between
the quadrants on the Corral,
we each have one favorite
quadrant where we spend
most of our time while in
script. This will be the one we
decided on in childhood as our
basic position.
Personal change and the OK corral
I am OK, you are OK is the
healthy position, Here, I get
on with living and problem
solving. I act to achieve the
winning outcomes I desire.
This is the only position
based on reality.
Personal change and the OK corral
If my childhood position was I am not OK, you are OK, I am likely to play our my script mainly from the depressive position of feeling one down to others. Unawarely, I will choose my bad feelings and repetitive behavior to confirm that this is my rightful position in the world
Personal change and the OK corral
An early position of I am OK, you are not OK will mean that I live my script mostly from the defensive position of trying to stay one up on others. Those around me are likely to experience me as overbearing, insensitive and aggressive. This is paranoid position and corresponds to the psychiatric diagnosis of character disorder.
Personal change and the OK corral
If I look up basic position of I am not OK, you are not OK as an infant, my script will be played through principally from the futility position. Here I am believing that the world and others are no good, and neither am I . If I wrote a banal script, my pattern will be to get nowhere with most of the things I set out to do in life.
Personal change and the OK corral
The process of change often entails a movement through the Corral in a specific sequence. If the person starts off by spending most of time in I-U-, her next move is likely to be into I+U-. After some time, with that as her most important quadrant, she will shift to I-U+. The final goal is to increase the time spend in I+U+ until it becomes the favorite position.
Personal change and the OK corral
It may seem strange that people often need to shift through I-U+ in order to get from I+U- to I+U+. But the experience of therapy shows that I+U- is often a defense against I-U+. The infant who concluded I am OK and all others are not OK took up that position to defend against the painful realization of being one down and powerless in the face of her parents.
