This article furthers the conversation around using eco-TA to enrich and expand our perspectives in working as transactional analysts. Although much work has been done to deepen our understanding of how people come to be who they are, we do not yet have a perspective on the complex factors that influence who we think we are at a subjective level that accounts for place and its impact on script development. The author builds on the cocreative work of Summers and Tudor to present a perspective on script in the form of the aggregate script helix as well as an eco-TA frame of reference model to support the application of this thinking in practice. These concepts, much like eco-TA, are still new, and the author notes the importance of holding space for the continued evolution of theory to support the work. Although the author’s experience is in the field of psychotherapy, she believes that the theories outlined are applicable across all fields of TA and welcomes reflections from professionals across all fields to further develop these theories
