Injunctions on Femininity: A Transactional Analysis Perspective
Speaker: Aizhan Kadyr — ICU Master Coach, MBA, TAAP, author of “From Samurai to Geisha: Lessons of Femininity”
Inspired by TA literature and Aizhan’s work on femininity, inner freedom, and self‑mastery.
🌺 Femininity is a basic human capacity — natural, alive, embodied, and deeply psychological. A woman in touch with her femininity is open, receptive, expressive… soft and powerful at once.
For centuries, femininity has been admired, feared, controlled, and silenced. Where it has been punished, protection develops. Where there has been pain, injunctions appear:
🚫 don’t be visible
🚫 don’t need
🚫 don’t desire
🚫 don’t take up space
🚫 don’t be soft
🚫 don’t be powerful
In TA, these are injunctions — early decisions shaping a woman’s relationship with herself and her femininity in adult life.
✨ In this workshop, we will explore how these injunctions:
--limit self‑expression and authenticity
--replace femininity with adaptation, performance, or control
--interfere with our capacity to feel, receive, and be seen
This is a conversation about femininity that becomes possible when protections are made conscious and Adult choice is restored.
