Love after trauma isn't just about passion—it's about patience. The quiet moments between kisses, the hesitation in a held hand, the unspoken fear that lingers in intimacy… These are the places where love is tested—and where it can be rebuilt. In this Language of Love Session, we return to Brian and Stacey's raw, unfolding story. If you've been with us, you know: this isn't just about sex. It's about two hearts trying to find safety in each other—while wrestling with the ghosts of their pasts. (If you're new here, make sure to listen to my past sessions with Brian and Stacy to learn about the heartache, the fights, the small victories that brought them here.) So what happens when healing almost feels within reach? When the arguments soften, the warmth returns… and then—out of nowhere—the old pain rushes back in? Here's What You'll Take Away: “I want to, but I can't”—why this conflict is more common than we admit (and how to move through it) How childhood wounds whisper in adult intimacy—and how to quiet them When even loving touch feels like pressure—and how to rewrite that story Why watching porn together became a bridge, not a wall The moment a simple kiss became the bravest act of all How couples accidentally retraumatize each other—and how to stop The shift that helped Stacey reclaim her body—and her voice Why Brian is learning that patience isn't passive—it's love in action Want to feel safe in your own skin—and in your partner's arms?

“I am not the victim of the world I see.” – A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Lesson 31What if you stopped identifying with the part of you that feels powerless?What if you could claim your power, right now, from the inside out?In this episode, we explore Lesson 31 from the A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which invites us to break free from the illusion of victimhood. We examine how the stories we tell about ourselves—especially ones rooted in helplessness, blame, or fear—shape the world we see. And more importantly, how we can begin to write new ones.This lesson is a call to radical responsibility. Not as a burden—but as a path back to our power, agency, and peace.Whether you've been looping in blame, waiting to be rescued, or doubting your ability to change… this episode offers a gentle but clear reminder:You are not a victim. You are a creator.Key Insights from Lesson 31✨ Freedom is an inside job: Real freedom doesn't come from changing external circumstances—it begins when we stop believing the ego's script of helplessness and choose to see through the eyes of love and strength.✨ Perception is projection: Your outer world reflects your inner beliefs. Victimhood distorts your perception and locks you into reactive loops. But when you shift your mindset, even slightly, the world reflects that softness and sovereignty back to you.✨ Responsibility is not blame—it's empowerment: To say “I am not a victim” isn't to dismiss the pain you've lived through. It's to stop giving it control over your present. You can choose again. You can write a new chapter. One rooted in compassion, clarity, and conscious choice.Reflection QuestionsWhere in my life do I feel like a victim right now—and what narrative is fueling that feeling?If I fully embraced that I am not a victim of the world I see, how might I meet today's challenges with more personal power and agency?Is there a story I've outgrown but still wear like a second skin? What belief would I need to release to return to who I truly am?What's one small way I can reclaim authorship of my life today, instead of waiting to be rescued or fixed?RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Three Faces of Victimhood: An Overview of the Victim TriangleIdentifying the Drama TriangleMaking the Shift From Drama to EmpowermentCONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ORACLE DECKS USED⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tea Leaf Fortune Cards⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animal Spirit Deck⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Rose Oracle Deck

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Have you ever noticed a never-ending cycle of drama amongst your family or friend group? In this episode, we talk about how the Drama Triangle might be the hidden pattern keeping your relationships stuck in painful cycles. Whether you're supporting a loved one with mental illness or navigating difficult family dynamics, this pattern will keep you trapped in the pain instead of solving it.Stephen Karpman's Drama Triangle describes three roles that create and sustain relationship dysfunction: the Victim (feeling helpless and powerless), the Persecutor (critical and blaming), and the Rescuer (rushing to fix problems). What makes this pattern so challenging is how people shift between these roles, maintaining the pain while never actually resolving underlying issues.We identify places where we can spot the drama triangle in our own lives—from childhood experiences with divorced parents to adult relationships—showing how these patterns created confusion and heartache. These triangles often form because we're desperately trying to maintain stability, even when that stability is painful.The good news is that understanding these patterns gives you the power to break free. We explore practical ways to step outside your habitual role and ultimately break down the triangle entirely. Rather than seeing these behaviors as character flaws, we frame them as adaptations that once served a purpose but may now be limiting your growth and happiness.This conversation highlights how recognizing these patterns can help you create more authentic connections with loved ones struggling with mental health challenges. Check out KulaMind.com to learn more about our online platform designed to help you break toxic patterns and find peace while supporting someone with mental illness.Resources:https://karpmandramatriangle.com/dt_article_only.htmlSupport the showIf you have a loved one with mental or emotional problems, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

Welcome to this episode of What to Say & How to Say It with Nina Roesner and Licensed Professional Counselor Kyle Hargrove!

In this highly informative episode, Jacqueline and Chris explore the drama triangle construct, victim mentality and living life as a Creator. The pair have made several references to the drama triangle in previous episodes and  listeners have asked them to go deeper on the subject.  Drama is feature of all of our lives and how we navigate it can make a big difference in our overall level of contentment and sense of purpose. There is something in this episode for everyone so sit back and enjoy.   Watch: https://youtu.be/SwSYyVIGs1I 

The Drama Triangle Explained: How to Reclaim Your Power The Drama Triangle, a concept developed by psychologist Stephen Karpman, illustrates how individuals can become entangled in a cycle of emotional exhaustion and conflict through three distinct roles: the victim, the rescuer, and the villain. Each role plays a significant part in perpetuating drama in our lives, often without our conscious awareness. Host Tonya Leigh explores the concept of the Drama Triangle, a framework that reveals the subconscious patterns we create in our lives. The discussion highlights how many people gravitate towards drama, whether for a sense of identity, adrenaline, or connection, often without realizing it. Tonya emphasizes that while some drama may serve a purpose, much of it keeps us trapped in familiar, chaotic states, preventing us from experiencing peace and ease in our lives.  Tune in as we break down the three roles in the Drama Triangle—victim, villain, and hero—and how to recognize and escape these patterns to achieve a more elegant and fulfilling life. 00:47 - The Allure of Drama: Why We Create It 01:03 - Craving Peace and Elegance 02:09 - Role 1: The Victim 04:16 - The Victim's Self-Image 07:10 - Role 2: The Rescuer 09:50 - Examples of the Rescuer Role 11:07 - The Rescuer's Self-Image 16:00 - Role 3: The Villain 19:30 - Examples of the Villain Role 22:26 - The Villain's Self-Image 23:32 - Stepping Out of the Drama Triangle 24:03 - Becoming the Main Character Quotes: "What we crave is a sense of ease, a sense of peace, a sense of elegance in our lives, which means that we're going to have to give up some of the drama." "You're not the problem, but you are the solution." "If you want to grow your impact, if you want to have more ease in your life, you must be willing to let other people fail." "I'm only valuable when I'm needed." "The control, the criticism, and the blame comes from a fear of losing control, of not being enough, of being exposed." "You're the main character, but more importantly, you're also the writer and the director."

Reframing Mindset: A Conversation with David HigdonHave you ever noticed how most conversations about mindset feel suspiciously like Saturday Night Live's Stuart Smalley sketch—staring into the mirror, repeating, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough..."? If affirmations were a magic wand, we'd all be living our dream lives already, right?Mindset matters, but not how most mindset coaches sell it. In a recent Creative On Purpose Live episode, David Higdon (David Higdon) joined me to poke gently at prevailing myths about mindset and affirmations. Spoiler alert: Mindset follows posture, not the other way around.Mindset as Interaction, Not Just ThinkingFor David, mindset isn't merely thinking differently—it's about interacting with reality differently. You don't become confident by declaring yourself confident; you build confidence by acknowledging where you are and taking micro-steps toward becoming who you want to be. Affirmations only stick when they're rooted in your current reality. "I am becoming confident" beats "I am confident" if confidence isn't yet your lived experience.Mindset Follows PostureI love how David aligns with my assertion—mindset follows posture. Your attitudes and actions shape your mindset more than your mindset shapes your attitudes and actions. This means doing the thing comes before being the thing. Want to become a better writer, coach, or human? Start acting like one.Mirror, Mirror…David shared a pivotal realization that reframed his entire approach to mindset. During a drive home from a band rehearsal in Jersey, he saw the New York City skyline and asked himself, "Why am I like this?" He collided with reality. By honestly identifying behaviors that held him back, David began removing the friction that stood between who he was and who he wanted to be.He calls this practice "looking in the mirror." It starts by acknowledging your part in situations that don't go your way. Instead of blaming the outside world—look inward. David calls this 'giving grace.' It doesn't mean accepting or ignoring your faults. It means forgiving your past self, appreciating the present you, and gently embracing the potential future you.Compassion and ResponsibilityEmpathy for others starts with empathy for yourself. David shared how learning to offer grace to himself made it easier to extend it to others, creating a virtuous cycle of compassion and accountability. But grace alone isn't enough; tough love has its place. Sometimes the greatest gift you can offer yourself is holding yourself accountable to a higher standard.Notice, Name, NavigateAs you know, my three-step framework is Notice, Name, Navigate. Notice what's happening as objectively as possible. Name the choices available. Navigate by doing the next right thing. David's similar approach starts with identifying impulses or triggers, noticing emotional responses, and choosing new ways to respond. Simple, but not easy. It's a practice—a habit.Victim, Persecutor, SaviorWe also explored Karpman's Drama Triangle. If you identify as a victim, you invite persecutors and saviors into your life. Conversely, by removing victimhood, you also remove the roles of persecutors and saviors. David suggested an intriguing possibility: once you've let go of the victim role, you might unconsciously step into the persecutor or savior roles instead. That's a danger worth noticing.Gratitude as a SuperpowerGratitude changes minds faster than affirmations. It's a scientifically proven superpower. Real gratitude means appreciating the challenges life hands you, not just the abundance. It's the secret sauce of becoming a better person and a better solopreneur.Final ThoughtMindset isn't something you “fix.” It's something you build, day by day, through conscious choices and intentional actions. The truth is, your mind doesn't need setting; it needs recalibrating through experience. So, start small, act intentionally, and trust the process. You'll become the person who can do what you aspire to do by consistently choosing actions aligned with that aspiration.What's one small choice you'll make today to move closer to the mindset you want to embody?

The Drama Triangle is a powerful model in relation to human behaviour. In this Podcast we discuss the impact of the different styles can impact coaching dynamics. We explore how this psychological model, consisting of the roles of the Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer - can show up in conversations and influence client and our own behavior. We also discuss practical ways as coaches to support the shift from the Drama Triangle to healthy and empowering choices.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into the Drama Triangle – a powerful psychological model that explains how people get stuck in toxic cycles of victimhood, rescuing, and blame. Whether it's in relationships, at work, or even with your own thoughts, understanding these patterns is the first step to breaking free and communicating more effectively. We also introduce the Empowerment Dynamic, the game-changing alternative that helps you take control and move forward in a healthier way.

Are you stuck in the same argument over and over again? It starts with something small—an offhand comment, a last-minute plan, or a simple misunderstanding. Before you know it, you're in yet another argument, saying things you don't mean, feeling unheard, and wondering, how did we get here again? In this episode of The Language of Love Session, we check in with Brian and Stacey, a couple who love each other deeply but keep getting stuck in frustrating fights. Their latest? A basketball game invitation that—on the surface—seemed harmless. But for Stacey, it wasn't just about the game. It was about priorities, commitment, and feeling like she mattered. Here's where things got messy: Brian had already skipped their usual weekly sporting activity together. So when he jumped at the chance to go out with a friend instead, Stacey felt like she was coming in second. A simple, innocent decision spiraled into yet another heated argument. But here's the real issue—it wasn't about basketball. It was about unspoken fears, emotional triggers, and the stories we tell ourselves when we feel hurt. In this episode, we're breaking it all down: Why small decisions can feel like big betrayal How unspoken fears and insecurities sneak into your conversations and turn them into battles The power of pausing before you react  How to recognize when you're stuck in the Drama Triangle—and what to do about it The art of making your partner feel heard without silencing your own needs If you've ever felt stuck in the same frustrating arguments, wondering why your partner just doesn't get it, this episode will shift your perspective.

In this episode ofThe Active Life Podcast, the hosts dive deep into the critical mindset shift from victim mentality to a creator mindset. They explore how our habitual thought patterns shape our perspectives and behaviors, breaking down the key differences between these two approaches to life. By examining the "Drama Triangle" and its inverse, the "Empowerment Triangle," they highlight how individuals often play roles of victim, hero, or villain—and how they can shift toward becoming creators, coaches, and challengers.Listeners will learn how the victim mentality keeps people stuck in fear, powerlessness, and dependence on external circumstances, while the creator mindset fosters responsibility, action, and personal growth. The discussion also uncovers the hidden dangers of the "hero" role, especially in coaching and leadership, and offers insights into how real empowerment comes from guiding, rather than saving, others. Through practical examples, including a powerful personal story of resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, this episode offers a framework for recognizing where we stand and how we can intentionally shift toward an empowered, action-driven mindset.To wrap up, the hosts provide actionable steps for listeners: identifying where they currently operate within these mental frameworks, finding mentors or coaches who can guide them, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Whether you're a coach, an athlete, or simply someone looking to take ownership of your life, this conversation will inspire you to move from reactive to intentional living.

What is your excuse for not creating your life? For not taking accountability for yourself?  Feel hopeless, powerless, not able, incapable, that nothing works, that it's not possible for you? Just cannot?  Not enough money, time, energy, IQ, EQ.  Not good enough body, looks, brains...  Nobody gets you.  Nobody wants you.  You need someone to come fix you, rescue you. Preferably someone successful, pretty, amazing....  Whatever.  Well, sounds like you indulge yourself inside the victimhood role and I am here to tell you how you throw away your potential, your inner strength and possibilities.  Change your mindset and set yourself free.  From "I cannot" to "I can".. You freaking can. You have it all inside of you. Find it. Digg it out. Stop waiting to be rescued. Stop putting people on pedestals. Stop looking down on yourself.  IT'S NOT SEXY! IT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE. Find ways to start believing in yourself.   I am Therese Fallentin and this is The Gutfeeling podcast.

Do you want something in your life?  Well, then go make it happen.  Get up, get out, start making a plan, doing research, taking accountability for your non-doing, your own actions, your own choices.. HOW YOU SHOW UP IN THE WORLD.  You want something, well, then start MAKING SOME ACTION. Get of your phone, your screen, your couch.  Stop distracting yourself with shiny unicorns.  Get real. Be honest with yourself.  WHAT IS WITHIN YOUR POWER TO CHANGE IS YOU AND YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS.  You don't want to attract and get from "poor me" attitude. It's not poor you. You are capable, YOU ARE! Just freaking start.  DOING SOMETHING.... AnYtHiNg that will take you closer to where you want to be. Probably more confident in one way or the other. Well, how do you build that confidence within YOU?  Find a coach, take a class, go dancing, read a book on the topic, go for a walk, write, ask people for their insights and knowledge (not for them to do the work and rescue you... Again, not very sexy...)  I know you can. We all can.  And now is the time. The best time of them all. Cut the crap. The excuses and bullshit. YOU CAN, if you really want to. That is.     I am Therese Fallentin and this is The Gutfeeling podcast.

Have you ever gossiped, judged, criticized, blamed, shamed, pointed fingers, hit, punched, pushed or bullied someone else?  If you answer no, I don't believe you!  We ALL HAVE!  If you claim you haven't, I am quite sure you have more than most. Start digging, get real! Even if you think you are an angel, you probably aren't.  So why and how do we ALL turn into perpetrators? How does it look like? Perpetrators come alongside victims and rescuers. And within this dynamics WE SWOP ROLES WITHIN A SINGLE CONVERSATION. We start out as the victim, move into to perpetrator and end up as the rescuer. And so it rolls.  We believe we are angels, but really! We are not. No one is. I explain how toxic these dynamics are and how to get out of them. How to take accountability for your own life, words and actions.  Why?  Because you are hurting yourself. You are creating your own drama. You are getting yourself into dynamics you don't want to be in.  Watch/ listen into my podcast to learn how you can become the challenger, coach and creator - instead of the perpetrator, rescuer and victim… These are the Drama Triangle and Empowerment Dynamics.  Someone focusing on everyone else's problems and never your own. Not trusting in anyone else to do a good enough job. Watch/ listen into the episode to learn how to stop burning out.

Did you know that most arguments in relationships aren't really about what they seem? That fight about the trash? The dishes? Being late? It's rarely about the actual issue—it's about something deeper. Feeling unheard. Feeling unappreciated. Feeling disconnected. In this Language of Love Session, we continue to follow Brian and Stacey as they navigate the challenges of trust, intimacy, and emotional connection. Brian feels like he's doing everything right—planning dates, showing affection, making an effort—yet the intimacy still isn't there. Stacey, meanwhile, struggles with past trauma and the weight of expectation, making it hard for her to fully engage. We confront the hidden emotions and unspoken fears that keep them stuck in the same frustrating cycle. What's inside this episode? How past traumas influence trust and intimacy in relationships Why taking sex off the table can help rebuild emotional and physical connection The importance of non-sexual touch in fostering intimacy and trust How to navigate the "Drama Triangle" (victim, villain, hero) in conflicts Practical strategies for shifting out of conflict and into connection The role of appreciation and physical affection in healing relationships How to create a culture of safety and understanding in your partnership Don't forget—love is a journey best taken together. Whether you're healing from past traumas, deepening intimacy, or improving communication, every step forward is one you don't have to take alone.

Welcome back to the House of Her Podcast. Today, I take you through the intriguing and often unnoticed behavior we exhibit when distancing ourselves from jobs, friendships, and mentorships. I am uncovering the psychological framework known as the "Drama Triangle," where we go back and forth between roles of the victim, persecutor, and rescuer to justify our transitions.In this episode I introduce you to the concept of the "Winner's Triangle," urging us to switch from helplessness to vulnerability, from punishing to assertiveness, and from rescuing to caring without overstepping. This shift not only transforms how we handle life's transitions but also ensures we retain the valuable lessons and growth these experiences bring. This episode is a game-changer for anyone looking to navigate transitions with more grace and less drama.Key Takeaways:Definition and roles within the Drama TriangleImportance Emotional triggers and performing old behaviorsThe importance of seeing challenges as growth opportunitiesTime Stamps:01:00 Misused Evidence and Rescuer Role04:29 Role-Shifting Dynamics Explained09:35 Balancing Gratitude and Clarity10:46 Finding Positivity in Imperfect SituationsEpisode Quotes"The real kicker is none of these rules actually solve anything.

In this episode, we're exploring the traps of victim consciousness and how the reclamation of our power begins the moment we begin to opt out of victim-victimizer dynamics.Because the truth is that when we outsource the problem, we outsource the solution too. And if we are to become the hero of our own story, we must reclaim our power by taking full, unbridled ownership over our life. To own the trajectory of our life, we must first own ourselves. And to do that, we've got to stop pointing the finger at anyone. Not in a shame-inducing, admonishing way but rather in a compassionate, empowering, and self-loving way. Resources + Continued ReadingReach out—ashley@ashleymelillo.com—if you'd like to get on the list for a future RTT session with me!BooksExistential Kink* by Carolyn Lovewell   The Reclaimed Woman* by Dr. Kelly BroganOwn Yourself* by Dr. Kelly BroganLighter* by Yung PuebloYou Can Heal Your Life* by Louise HayEpisodesThe Subconscious Mind: Unlocking the door to life-transforming freedom, abundance, and inner peaceArticlesArticle: Victimizer Collective Archetypes (Ascension Glossary)Article: Breaking Out of the Drama Triangle (Karpman Triangle)Article: The Three Faces of Victim—An Overview of the Victim TriangleArticle: Use the Karpman Triangle to Solve ConflictsArticle: Shifting from the Drama Triangle to the Empowerment DynamicArticle: What Are the Signs of a Victim Mentality?Article: How A 'Maybe' Mindset Will Make You More PositiveArticle: Most of Us Are Addicted to Certainty.

Watch the full episode here: https://integrallife.com/breaking-the-cycle-drama-problem-solving-and-relational-mastery/ In this episode, Corey deVos and Dr. Keith Witt explore one of the most common yet misunderstood aspects of human interaction: the tension between drama and problem-solving. They dive deeply into the "Drama Triangle," a psychological framework that reveals how the roles of victim, rescuer, and persecutor trap us in cycles of dysfunction. These dynamics, while often personal, are also embedded in cultural systems, politics, and even therapy itself. Drawing from integral theory, Keith explains how drama is a signal of relational disconnection and unmet needs, while problem-solving is a path of self-awareness, connection, and growth. They discuss how therapy provides a transformative space by balancing unconditional acceptance with clear expectations for change, helping clients shift from reactive drama to creative problem-solving. Through rich examples—including Keith's personal stories and reflections—they illuminate the emotional and relational signals that help us recognize when we're stuck in drama and how to move beyond it. Key themes include: - The power of self-awareness to shift from reactive drama to empowered problem-solving. - How relational disconnection is often the first problem to solve in any relationship. - The interplay of cultural narratives, such as green postmodernism, in amplifying cycles of victimhood and blame. - Why integrating emotional connection (relating) with practical resolution (problem-solving) creates transformative relationships. - The role of emotional signals, such as urgency or secrecy, in identifying drama dynamics. Whether you're navigating complex relationships, exploring personal growth, or grappling with cultural and systemic challenges, this episode offers practical insights and profound perspective shifts. Join Corey and Keith as they unpack the patterns that keep us stuck and the practices that help us grow.

I'll share how adversity can either weigh us down, leaving us stuck in bitterness, or become a stepping stone toward growth and resilience.

“The whole sense though, of the Upper Limit Problem, is instead of feeling good and then feeling bad, which is how we think it's supposed to work. You know, you feel bad, you feel good, and then you forget to go to your yoga class and then you start eating things that aren't good for you. And pretty soon, you know, you're off binging and you know, that's over. And in partnership, I'd say, The most common Upper Limit Problem is to criticize the other. Criticizing also gets over into contempt. So when your partner expands and you don't support that expansion, but you criticize them and then they come down again or you forget an agreement. I think those are the two most common is that people don't do what they say they're going to do and they get into criticizing. And we really have seen that criticizing blame and criticism are really relationship killers. But what's underneath that is our fear of expanding and our fear of going out into the unknown, because even the Upper Limit Problem, if you're expanding, you are going to go into the unknown over and over, and we can stay safe and miserable in our familiar patterns, of you'll eat too much, and I'll drink at night, and we won't challenge that in each other, and that way we'll coexist, and many relationships are that way.” So says Dr. Katie Hendricks, the co-founder of The Hendricks Institute and the co-author of 12 books, including the bestseller, Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment. Katie and her husband, Gay, have been leading seminars and workshops for individuals and couples for decades—moving them from their definition of co-dependence into co-commitment. We touch on it in our conversation, but their definition of co-dependence is the only one I've heard that makes sense to me as they suggest co-dependence at its simplest is when your behavior is determined by someone else's—when you are adjusting yourself around someone else in a way that is a disservice to the relationship. Instead, they argue for co-commitment, where everyone takes complete responsibility for their own actions and their own lives. They coach a lot of tools that I love to talk about on this podcast, including the Drama Triangle, and they also coined the concept of the Upper Limit Problem, which is our tendency—just when things are going really well–to self-sabotage. That's a big focus of our conversation today.
