Get Out of the Drama Triangle

Episode Notes

Key Takeaways:

• The Drama Triangle is filled with limiting beliefs and comes from a place of powerlessness. Often, people cycle between all the roles and the triangle is a time and energy suck.
• Heroes want to solve problems, stop the suffering and save everyone. Villains blame people and external factors. Victims believe they are powerless to change their circumstance
• Replace “hero” with “coach." Be someone who helps people make decisions or solve problems by themselves. Help people come to their own conclusions.
• Replace “villain” with “challenger.” Think about how you can help or support people in their goals. If you’re going to challenge somebody to grow, think if it’s truth supported by love.
• Replace “victim” with “creator.” You can be a creator of your experience. You can guide your circumstances and decisions.
