On this month’s new episode of the Transactional Analysis Podcast, hosts James and Parul are joined by Lorena Adami, a Transactional Analyst and counsellor based in Italy to explore how she integrates cinema, storytelling, and TA in her work.
Lorena shares how her background in film and media led her to develop what she calls “CineCounselling”
Together, they explore how metaphor, scenes, characters, and shared cultural reference points can help clients (and groups) find words, create the right distance when needed, and expand perception in the counselling context.
In the episode, you’ll hear:
🔷 How Lorena connects movie script and life script
🔷 The concept of “CineCounselling”
🔷 Why cinema can offer symbolic language when a client can’t yet find words
🔷 Using film to create enough distance to speak about self through story
🔷 A group example using a movie to explore the Free Child, creativity, and expression
🔷 Lorena’s view of TA counselling as empowerment for the client
🔷 How scenes can make TA concepts more accessible
Available on all the major podcast streaming platforms.
