Welcome to ‘A Guide for Healthy Communications (Manufacturing Version)’! This video course is meant to give you the tools for communicating with others in a healthy, productive, and professional manner. This video lesson, ‘Living in Your Adult State,’ is the ninth of eleven. It explains the importance of developing your adult ego state in order to help you understand yourself and converse with others in a professional, appropriate fashion.
