How to ditch the Drama Triangle and build more empowering relationships
How to Ditch The Drama Triangle - and Build More Empowering Relationships
Episode 5 from The Burnout Revolution Podcast
In this episode, I'm digging into a dynamic that shows up everywhere—at work, at home and in everyday conversations—the Drama Triangle.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in tricky relationship patterns, over-functioned for others, or found yourself second-guessing every interaction, you’re not alone. And understanding this cycle can be a game-changer.
In this episode I share:
✨ What the Drama Triangle is and the three roles we unconsciously slip into—Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor✨ How these roles can keep us stuck in draining cycles that impact confidence, energy and wellbeing✨ Why these patterns often show up in burnout, people-pleasing, and perfectionism✨ How to shift into the Empowerment Triangle, and move towards more agency, boundaries, and clarity ✨ Practical steps you can take to break old patterns and create more balanced, respectful interactions
This conversation is for you if you want to show up differently in your relationships—whether at work or home—and protect your energy, build stronger boundaries, and develop more productive relationships
