The Drama Triangle identifies our roles in dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics. It can be a potent tool for understanding conflict and miscommunication within personal and professional relationships. In this episode, we break down the core components of the Drama Triangle, strategies to disentangle ourselves from ‘drama’, and explore practical tools to identify and navigate the dynamics of our own interactions.Conceived by Stephen Karpman, the Drama Triangle highlights a particular type of destructive interaction that can occur between individuals in a conflict.The model delineates three distinct roles: the Victim, who experiences a sense of oppression, incapacity, and externalizes responsibility for their predicament; the Hero, who embodies an overly helpful persona and frequently fosters dependency, thus indirectly sustaining the Victim’s sense of helplessness; and the Villain, characterized by blaming, controlling, and authoritative behavior, fostering a power dynamic that aggravates the Victim’s sense of oppression.These roles are not fixed, and participants in the drama often rotate through them, perpetuating a cycle of destructive, non-productive interactions. Understanding this model provides insight into dysfunctional communication patterns, offering a starting point for transformation and healthier relationship dynamicsAwake + Aware | Our 2025 Live Event⭐ Join us at Awake and Aware 2025, a game-changing 3-day workshop from May 5-7 in Bend, Oregon.

When we're offered an opportunity to participate in something that seems amazing, it’s almost always associated with a cost. That cost is time. Every ‘yes’ is accompanied by even more ‘no’s’.In today’s episode, we take a look inside a real coaching session that addresses just this scenario. Our client is a physician who wants to develop a decision-making process so that he can derive meaning from his professional life and not take on projects or jobs that on the surface sound intriguing but may end up draining rather than fueling him. Client Bio: Josh Russell MD is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine and is double board-certified in Palliative Care and Emergency Medicine. Apart from his clinical practice, he is a writer, educator, entrepreneur, and trivia enthusiast.Awake + Aware | Our 2025 Live Event⭐ Join us at Awake and Aware 2025, a game-changing 3-day workshop from May 5-7 in Bend, Oregon.
