The Drama Triangle

In this short episode I offer a quick overview of the Drama Triangle, a concept that helps explain some of the frustrating patterns we may face in our relationships. If you're on the drama triangle, you're playing one of three roles: victim, rescuer or persecutor (and you can be shifting between all 3!!). The goal in life is to stay OFF the drama triangle. Hopefully this little visual will help you identify those situations where drama is at play and then you can make conscience decisions to step off the triangle and move forward in peace.

Once a (blank), always a (blank)

In this episode we discuss common misperceptions about our ability to change and what tools and which types of people we need in our lives to shift out of what's no longer working for us and make space for what will enable us to continue to grow into the best version of ourselves.

Journey from pain to wellness (alt title: “the student becomes the teacher”)

In this episode we talk about how a teacher came to rely on her former student to rescue her from pain and show her the path to wellness. Almost 10 years after Danielle and Ramez met at UMass-Lowell (she was his professor), Danielle turned to Ramez in desperation to avoid surgery on a diagnosed torn shoulder labrum. Not only did Ramez keep Danielle out of the surgical suite, he opened her eyes and mind to a whole other world of movement science and philosophy. In this episode you will be inspired to “See your health differently” in terms of your movement, your pain, and your potential to heal.

003. Exercise Personality—sort of

Danielle and Ramez start to tackle the topic of the nuances of “exercise personalities,” and quickly detour into philosophical topics such as: shifting from the term “exercise” to “movement practice,” goals of exercise for short-term vs long-term gain, eastern movement practices and perspectives on time, intensity and recovery.
