Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards them and how they will respond when someone passes those limits.[1] They are built out of a mix of conclusions, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, past experiences and social learning.[2][3] This concept or life skill has been widely referenced in self-help books and used in the counseling profession since the mid-1980s.[4]
Taibi Kahler (born 1943) is a psychologist, author, and presidential communications advisor.[1] He added the concepts of the Miniscript and Drivers[2] to Transactional analysis theory[3] and developed them into the 'Process Therapy Model' (PTM) and the 'Process Communication Model' (PCM) of human personality and communication. PTM / PCM theory was used at NASA to vet astronaut candidates for the shuttle programme and Bill Clinton used it to tailor his political speeches. PCM is currently applied to corporate management, interpersonal communications, education,[4] and real-time analysis of call centre interactions.[5][6]

What are drivers? Drivers are unconscious internal pressures that makes us
do things certain ways, e.g. quickly or with emotion, and they tend to
satisfy inner needs rather than actual events. The psychologist Kahler
identified five Drivers. Each Driver has positive merits but when we’re
stressed, busy and tired we may go into ‘overdrive’. They can be unhelpful
and get in the way of us being our brilliant selves. We all have a
tendency toward a particular Driver or Drivers. Being aware of our
tendency can be helpful during times of change and transition to get the
best from our working style and reduce patterns of stress.
