    Escaping the Drama Triangle: Being the Coach, Not the Rescuer in Your Relationships

    Are you stuck in repetitive, unhelpful and even codependent patterns in your relationships? Well, you're not alone; this episode is about breaking that cycle. I'm diving into the intriguing world of the Drama Triangle, introduced by Stephen Karpman. This concept has been a game-changer for me, and I think it could be for you too! In this episode, we're exploring those all-too-familiar roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer, and how they might be secretly running the show in your relationships. But here's the cool part: I'm also introducing you to the Empowerment Dynamic, a fantastic approach by David Emerald that flips the script and transforms these roles into something positive and, well, empowering! I'll share my own journey (spoiler alert: it's been quite a ride!) and give you some real, tangible ways to shift from feeling stuck to feeling in control. We'll talk about becoming a Creator in your life, embracing challenges, and coaching others (and yourself!) to find solutions that work. This video is not just theoretical; it's packed with actionable steps and reflection exercises to help you make meaningful changes in how you relate to others. Whether you're dealing with recurring conflicts or seeking to enhance your relationships, this video is a must-watch. You'll learn how to shift from being a passive participant in drama to an active creator of healthy, fulfilling relationships. Join me on this journey of self-discovery and relationship transformation. 🔹 Key Topics Covered:• Understanding the Drama Triangle • Exploring the Empowerment Dynamic • Identifying your typical roles in relationships • Practical steps to shift from Victim, Persecutor, or Rescuer to Creator, Challenger, or Coach • Real-life examples and reflection exercises Did this episode hit a little close to home?Feeling stuck even though you're incredibly self-aware? You're not alone! If you're tired of the gap between what you know and what you actually DO, we'd love to connect. Let's talk about the patterns holding you back and how coaching can get you unstuck and confidently moving towards your goals.
