When Collaboration Fails, Patterns (Scripts) Take Over

Two senior leaders — both capable, both committed — just couldn’t work together.

 One felt dismissed. The other felt controlled. What seemed like a personality clash turned out to be something deeper: misaligned life scripts.

One’s inner rule said, “I must prove my worth.”

The other’s, “I must not upset people.”So one pushed, the other withdrew — and both felt unseen.

Through DTA, they discovered their conflict wasn’t personal — it was patterned. By shifting from reaction to Adult awareness, they rebuilt trust, found clarity, and led together with renewed confidence.

Because when scripts run the show, collaboration breaks down.

When they’re brought to light, real partnership begins.
