The Autonomy Formula

Published: Oct 28, 2004

Application

We received this valuable bit of wisdom from a clinical psychologist, H. D. Johns, who practices with Transactional Analysis.

The Autonomy Formula: I >> Rt + Rs + C ==> TCOL

I >> Rt + Rs + C ==> TCOL

Every Individual has the Right, the Responsibility and the Capacity to Take Charge of his or her Own Life.

Paste this, as a reminder, on your mirror, in your appointment book or even as a body tattoo.

"Man ultimately decides for himself! And in the end, education must be education toward the ability to decide."

- Victor Frankl

Stories

PIG!

What a great opportunity to pass on the story H. D. Johns told us during the same workshop.

He had just finished a grueling week-long workshop in Upstate New York. He decided to relax on his return to New York City by driving along that winding scenic route atop the Adirondack "Mountains."

Speeding around a sharp bend, coming towards him and on his side of the road was a lady in a convertible. She forced H.D. to pull onto the shoulder of the road. Just as she passed, she yelled, "PIG!"

H. D., who had just about calmed down, became enraged at such stupid selfishness. In his rage, he stepped on the accelerator as he sped around the corner and ran into a 300-pound pig.

H. D. was illustrating the importance of word interpretation in our conversations.
