Being aware of when we're entering the "dreaded drama triangle" and what roles we play in it is a key component to putting an end to the cycle it creates. The important thing to learn is how to "take that costume off, and step out of the theatre".
Being aware of when we're entering the "dreaded drama triangle" and what roles we play in it is a key component to putting an end to the cycle it creates. The important thing to learn is how to "take that costume off, and step out of the theatre". In this episode, we discuss David Emerald's book called "The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic)". In his book, David brings up an alternative to the Karpman Drama Triangle with his own roles of Creator, Coach, and Challenger.
These tools can help us to take a more positive second look at Karpman's roles and how finding awareness in conflict is the first step to finding a way out of it. Applying David's empowerment dynamics can help you keep focus on what's important and look at our egos in a more constructive way.
These methods seem to help shift our perspective and help us come from a place of authenticity and compassion, which in turn will lead us closer to the relationship we really want.
