- How to Escape the Drama Triangle
Are you stuck in drama without even realizing it? The Drama Triangle—where we unconsciously take on the roles of Victim, Perpetrator, or Hero—can keep us trapped in conflict and frustration.
In this episode, Ani Anderson and Brian Trzaskos break down how these patterns play out in relationships, work, and even within ourselves. More importantly, they reveal a powerful alternative: the Empowerment Dynamic, where you can shift from feeling stuck to stepping into real agency over your life.
Join us for a conversation that will help you recognize drama when it shows up, break free from the cycle, and create a healthier, more empowered way of being.***To vote for us in the Signal Awards and help your favorite podcast cross the finish line, click here:
