Your Coaching Journey Episode 72: Coaching Tools – The Drama Triangle
Back in episode 30 we spoke about using Transactional Analysis (TA) in the coaching room, and in episode 31 we explored one of the TA models, the Parent-Adult-Child model.
Another coaching model that originates from TA is Karpman’s Drama Triangle, so we thought it was time we introduced this model to you as well.
The Drama Triangle offers another way to explore the coachee’s perception of their inter-personal relationship dynamics and behaviour patterns. It is an extremely useful model to be aware of as a coach, and to introduce to your coachee to help raise awareness about their view of their situation.
It is useful to demonstrate some caution when using the model in the coaching room, but it is a great way of helping the coachee gain a new perspective on the roles they’re playing in their relationships.
In this episode we explore the Drama Triangle and how we might use it to its full advantage in the coaching room.
