The Drama Triangle
From Drama to Empowerment - looking at the Drama Triangle and the Empowerment Model
In this workshop, we'll dive deep into the dynamics of the Drama Triangle, exploring the roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer that often trap us in unhealthy interactions. You'll gain a clear understanding of how these roles manifest in both life and the therapy room. Exploring practical strategies to shift from these reactive patterns to a more empowered and constructive way of relating.
Break Free from Unhealthy Relationship Patterns
​
Are your clients stuck in the same frustrating cycles? Whether it’s recurring tension at home or breakdowns in communication at work, these patterns may be signs of the Drama Triangle—a relational model by Dr. Stephen Karpman that traps us in the roles of Victim, Persecutor, or Rescuer. The good news? They don’t have to stay stuck. In this workshop, you’ll discover how to break free and adopt The Empowerment Dynamic by David Emerald, which shifts interactions from reactive and draining to collaborative and constructive.
Understand the Dynamics that Shape Your Relationships
This immersive workshop will guide you through the hidden dynamics that fuel conflict and frustration in everyday interactions. You'll gain a deep understanding of how the Drama Triangle plays out in conversations, decisions, and behaviours—both in life and in the therapy room. Through interactive discussions and real-world exercises, you’ll learn to recognise these patterns early and adopt more empowering ways of relating. This is not just about learning theory; it’s about mastering the tools that lead to lasting change in how you connect with others.

I found this course insightful, engaging and useful. It was much more in depth learning than when I learnt about this at college. Our tutor was also friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this course.
