In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of recognizing when you're in a drama triangle and what role you’re playing in it, then actionable steps you can take right now to break the cycle and turn this into a positive outcome for everyone. 

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

  • The 3 roles that make up the drama triangle. 
  • How each of the 3 roles play into one another to create a never ending cycle. 
  • Sharing an example of this drama triangle that you may be able to resonate with. 
  • Using the empowerment dynamic to get out of the drama triangle. 

It is important to note that healthy people can engage in this too from time to time. Understanding the drama triangle and knowing how to escape it is beneficial for everyone to know and utilize.  Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
