19. Ending Rackets and Games

We need to acknowledge that rackets and games service five of the six psychological hungers to maintain the script and keep it going.

Our many efforts to end rackets and games will fail because they service the script. Script has inertia and maintains its stability. Therefore it will keep on devising new strategies to keep it going.

Berne writes in Hello Chapter 3 that a script is an ongoing life plan formed in early childhood under parental pressure. It is the psychological force which propels the person toward his destiny, regardless of whether he fights it or says it is his own free will.

Therefore getting rid of rackets and games can happen when a conducive environment is created for the purpose. This can be done by freeing the Free Child and empowering the Adult thereby creating an environment for building a healthy relationship between the affective and cognitive aspects of our personality. 

Thereafter one gets the capacity to deal with rackets and games in a healthy manner. This by incorporating feeding healthy psychological hungers in place of dysfunctional psychological hungers.
