Episode 26: Conflict, not Drama

Episode 26

Conflict is inevitable, as much as we do not like it or want it near us.  It exists in all relationships and situations and can often serve as a powerful lesson in compromise, healthy communication, self-empowerment, etc.  Conflict is not the same as drama, however, and it is important to be able to distinguish the two from one another.  Today we explore Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle, the 3 roles that comprise the triangle, and healthy ways out of drama and into negotiating constructive conflict.
