07. Rackets as Racket Feelings – Berne’s view of Racket in Glossary Hello Book
Racket The sexualization and transactional seeking and exploitation of unpleasant feelings.
Berne Writes in Hello pg 165
During this period Jeder makes a decision about what f«elings he will work for. He has previously experimented with this, feeling by tums angry, hut, guilty, scared, inadequate, righteous, and triumphant, and has discovered that certain of these are treated with indifference or outright disapproval by his family, while one of them is acceptable and gets results. That is the one that becomes his racket. The favored feeling becomes a sort of conditioned reflex which may persist for the rest of his life.
