Position 1 : DriverThe mini script sequence

always begins with a

driver. As I listen to the

counter script message in

my head, I show the

corresponding driver

behavior. It lasts from half

a second to seven

seconds at the most.

Position 1 : Driver

While I am in the driver, I

experience no emotion.

My Adapted child belief is

that I remain OK as long

as I am obeying the

driver.

Position 1 : DriverTwo possible outcomes may

follow. I may manage to try

hard enough, hurry up

enough, etc..to satisfy the

demands of my internal

Parent. If so, I end the driver

behavior, I will then move

either into non scripty

behavior or into another

driver.

Position 1 : DriverAlternatively, I may not

summon up enough energy to

fulfill the driver command. I

have not satisfied my internal

parent’s condition for Okness.

With that conditional

protection withdrawn, I now

believe I must listen to the

injunction I had been

guarding against.

Position 1 : Driver

On the mini script model, this

is marked by a movement

from the driver (position 1) to

one of the other three

positions. We say that I go

through the driver to the next

position.
