When life gets stressful and uncertain, many of us fall into familiar patterns that drain our energy—whether it’s the role of the persecutor, the victim, or the rescuer. These roles can feel automatic, but they require effort to sustain, leaving us feeling stuck and depleted.
What if your clients could break free from these default responses and access a more empowered, resourceful mindset? With this innovative approach, you can guide them to uncover their current patterns and consciously shift into a role that fosters resilience and well-being. Help your clients harness their inner strengths and unlock new ways to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
The Drama Triangle was originated by Stephen Karpman in 1968 (Karpman, S. (1968). Fairy tales and script drama analysis. Transactional Analysis Bulletin, 7(26), 39-43).
Bringing Creativity to all Practitioners
The often overlooked yet profound outcome of creativity is the personal development and awareness that emerges when you create a representation or symbol of a challenging issue. Even for those who never intend to use creativity professionally, it offers a powerful opportunity for self-discovery and deeper self-knowledge.
Unlock Creativity in Your Practice
Discover the power of creativity for personal insight and client transformation.
Our 2-hour workshops and Practitioner-level courses have empowered over 4,000 professionals to bring creativity into their practice, revealing deep, often hidden patterns for lasting change.
Why Creativity ?
When clients only use their conscious mind, they may be locked by their thought patterns or not be able to find the right vocabulary to truly express what is going on for them. And that means you may only have part of the story to work with.
Using Creativity as an approach bypasses the conscious mind and provides a pathway to the unconscious mind. And that enables feelings, thoughts, beliefs and values to come to the surface that would otherwise be hidden.
