You can find the recording and the presentation [1] of the conference here. The conference took place in EEAS and we had almost 300 participants.
In this session, we explored the concept of psychological games in organisations, based on the work of Eric Berne, founder of Transactional Analysis. Building on the Dramatic Triangle introduced in our previous conference, we analysed how recurring relational patterns can evolve into structured “games” that impact communication, trust, and professional relationships.
Together, we discussed about:
- What psychological games are and why we play them
- The different types of games, and their level of impact
- The hidden payoffs behind these interactions
- How certain games can contribute to escalation, conflict, and even psychological harassment
- Practical ways to identify, interrupt, and exit these games by returning to conscious, responsible communication
This session aimed to provide both insight and practical tools to better navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and foster a healthier professional environment.
The conference was delivered by our colleagues:
- Andreea Madalina Hincu, Hypnotherapist
- Monica Nicolle Dimitriu, Trainer & Executive Coach
