![]() The NVC allows people to communicate with honesty and empathy, instead of implying wrongness on each other. One simple way to escape the Drama Triangle in motion is to use non-violent communication (NVC). In my last blog article, I have used a fictitious conversation at the workplace to demonstrate the Drama Triangle in motion. This is also discussed later in the Empowerment Triangle. Be part of a group helps you to realize you’re not alone, and that you can offer and receive support, encouragement, and innovative ideas to and from others.Īn alternative is to get yourself a coach, who can help you to gain clarity on your goals, empower you to plan actions, implement and anchor the desired changes. It’s helpful to be part of a bigger group, where you can relate to and build rapport and trust with the people. It’s suggested that people can form groups and obtain support from each other who are facing the same type of challenges. Note that making and sustaining change can be challenging, as you are moving out from your ‘comfort zone’. The next step after creating awareness is to take action and implement desired changes. You will not be the passive Victims who’d be dependent on others to provide solutions, or the Rescuers who’d jump in other people’s issues uninvited, or the Persecutors who’d criticize others without being helpful to tackle the underlying problem. Questions such as: What role you are playing in the Drama Triangle? How long you have been playing that role? How is it serving you? Is this role where you’d like to be? If not, what can you do to change it? What are the actions you need to take to escape it?īy becoming self-aware of your stance in the Drama Triangle, you will become mindful and avoid taking any role in it. You can ask yourself a few powerful questions to improve your self-awareness. The first step to escape the Drama Triangle is to understand what it entails, be aware of the role you are playing in a particular circumstance, and be watchful not to take one of the three roles. ![]() So how can we escape the Drama Triangle constructively? Here are a few steps we can consider. All the three players are so closely bound together, change in one will automatically provoke a change in the relationship dynamics and the others. It does not matter which player initiate the change first. Constructive changes help all people to refocus on the matter and the positive sides of things. The players should take some distance and potentially exit the triangular setting if they are dissatisfied with the situation. One way to identify the point to escape the Drama Triangle is by probing the imbalance between players’ intentions as well as in the relationship. However, if the triangular relationship becomes detrimental for those involved, and result in long-term conflicts, low performance, and resentments, it is probably the time to escape the triangle. Temporary discomfort may help people to achieve better results sometimes. If the triangular setting is healthy and serves all players’ interests, there might be no reason to change it. In my last blog, I have briefly introduced the Drama Triangle and the three roles in it.
