Workshop Details – Part 3 of 3
The Drama triangle as a way of graphically displaying the dance that occurs whenever we make someone else responsible for how we feel. According to Karpman, any time we don’t take responsibility for our feelings we are acting in a part of the Drama Triangle. The Drama Triangle can be a simple yet powerful mechanism for understanding the relationships.
Persecutor:
It’s Your Fault! I am OK, you are not OK, and it is all your fault. They set strict limits unnecessarily, blames others, criticises and keeps the victim oppressed. This position is usuay mobilised by anger or frustration not necessarily with the person who feels they are being persecuted. They can appear to be rigid, take an authoritative stance on many things. They often have a belief that the world is dangerous, and people can’t be trusted so I need to get them before they get me. The persecutor is usually trying to defend themselves before they get attacked.
WHY USE CREATIVITY IN YOUR PRACTICE AND WHY DOES IT WORK?
Creativity 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. It’s at this deeper level that the more profound and lasting work can be done.
When clients only use their conscious mind, they may be locked by their thought patterns and 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.
Working with the ChrisLin Method and the frameworks we share enables you and your client to safely explore the client’s hidden underlying patterns that can then allow them to make new choices about how they show up in the world.
Awaken your ability to use creative techniques by experiencing and learning how to use creativity in your practice. And by doing so, receive some much-treasured time to reflect on yourself too.
