5. Excluded Parent
• People who have excluded
parents will operate with no
ready made rules about the
world.

rules afresh in every
situation.

fall into this category of
excluded parent.

my grown up power of reality
testing.
• Instead, I hear only an
internal parent child
dialogue.

7. Excluded Child
• Someone who excludes child
will shut out the stored
memories of his own
childhood.
• When we express feelings as
grownups, we are often in
our child ego state.
• Therefore the person with
excluded child will often be
regarded as cold fish or all
head.
