The document discusses movement through different positions in a mini script according to transactional analysis theory. It provides examples of common patterns of movement such as going from the "Be Perfect" driver position directly to the "Blamer" position or moving from the "Please Others" driver position to the "Stopper" position where feelings of inadequacy are experienced. Movement through positions is individual and unpredictable, though brief returns to driver positions before exiting the mini script are sometimes observed.

3. Movement through the miniscript
Miniscript theory does
not predict any specific
sequence of movement
from one position to
another. Each individual
has her own typical
patterns.

4. Movement through the miniscript
For instance, a frequent
pattern of mine may be
to go through the Be
Perfect driver and
immediately feel
irritated. I have shifted
directly to blamer.

5. Movement through the miniscript
Once I have spent long
enough in my script, I
typically shift straight
back into the driver for
half a second, then
revert to non scripty
behavior.

6. Movement through the miniscript
My partner’s most usual
pattern may be to go
through the Please
Others driver to the
stopper position. There
she experiences racket
feeling of inadequacy.

7. Movement through the miniscript
Just occasionally, she may
move from position 2 over to
position 3, where she feels
hopeless and unloved. She will
stay with those feelings for a
while, then return to feeling
inadequate and finally shift
back out of the miniscript via a
flash of the Please Others
driver.
