Free test · Giving and Getting Warmth
How freely does warmth
flow in and out of you?
Praise, thanks, attention — TA calls these units of recognition "strokes", and treats them as basic nourishment. What matters isn't how much love passes by, but which of your four channels are open.
Sound familiar?
- A compliment lands and "oh, it was nothing" is out before you can stop it.
- You felt grateful — and never said it out loud.
- You were drowning, and still couldn't say "help me."
- You took on yet another favor you didn't want, and regretted it on the way home.
Four different problems? No — four different channels: giving, receiving, asking, refusing.
What this test shows you
- Your two most active channels — and their strengths
- Your most closed channel — the real reason relationships feel hungry
- The smallest exercises that open a closed channel
