If you are uncomfortable with your process script, you can step out of it. Of all the personal changes TA makes feasible, this is one of the easiest to accomplish. You need to begin by establishing what your own main process patterns are. Once you have this insight, you simply take Adult control and behave in ways that break the pattern.

3. Breaking out of process script patterns
If you are uncomfortable
with your process script, you
can step out of it. Of all the
personal changes TA makes
feasible, this is one of the
easiest to accomplish. You
need to begin by
establishing what your own
main process patterns are.
Once you have this insight,
you simply take Adult
control and behave in ways
that break the pattern.

4. Breaking out of process script patterns
If your main pattern has
been Until, you break it by
going ahead and having fun
even before you have
finished all your work.
(Daniel Casriel calls this
“riding the pony without
waiting until you have
cleaned out the stables.”

5. Breaking out of process script patterns
For the person with an After
script, the step out of process
script is to go ahead and enjoy
today, having first decided to
enjoy tomorrow also. For
instance, if you are at a party,
drink enough to enjoy yourself
but not so much that you finish
up with a sore head the next
day.

6. Breaking out of process script patterns
To break the Never
pattern, decide what it is
you want. Make a list of
five specific things you
can do to attain your
want. Then do one of
these things each day.

7. Breaking out of process script patterns
If you have been living out the
Always theme, realize that you
do not have to keep repeating
the same mistakes or persist
when things are awful. If you
want to, you can leave an
unsatisfying job, relationship
or locality and look for
something new.

8. Breaking out of process script patterns
You can step out Almost
type I by making sure
you complete what you
do. If you clean a room,
clean it all. When you are
reading a book, read all
the chapters.

9. Breaking out of process script patterns
To dismantle Almost type
2, take the pleasant step
of recognizing each of
your own successes as
you achieve it. Keep a list
of your aims. Each time
you fulfill one, strike it
off the list. Do not start
on the next aim without
having a celebration for
the one you have just
achieved.

10. Breaking out of process script patterns
If you think you may
have been handed an
Open ended pattern,
realize that your parents
have given you a gift in
disguise. Since the
closing pages of your
original script are
missing, you are free to
write your own ending in
whatever way you like.

11. Breaking out of process script patterns
Each time you complete a
behavior that contradicts
your process pattern, you
weaken the pattern for the
future. You make it easier
for yourself to step further
out of your old process
script theme.
