Scripts are composed of two parts. Closest to the surface of our awareness reside the directions for how we are to think, feel, and behave. Thought patterns include habitual self-talk such as I’m too busy, I’m good at math, People different from me are a threat, I always screw up, The way we do things around here is the right way so all other ways must be wrong, I can’t write. Emotional patterns include habitual feelings such as anger, excitement, anxiety, sadness, and joy. Behavior patterns include habitual actions such as smoking cigarettes, criticizing others, arriving on time, never asking for help, and exercising regularly. When people know us well, they can often predict what we will say, feel, or do in a given situation. This ability reveals their recognition of our patterns.
