We all long for connection, and yet it can be so difficult to form satisfying relationships. How do we bridge the chasms that separate us from those we love? How do we relate to others across cultural, political, and generational divides? This three-part series will guide us through the complexities of human relationships and show us how to cultivate meaningful connections.
Session 2: Understanding and Responding to Relational Drama
How do we move from Reactors to Responders in our relationships? This lecture will explain the Drama Triangle and the Anxious Brain and discuss how to apply the information in practical ways. We will learn to recognize and understand the roles of Persecutor, Victim, and Rescuer in our relational dynamics and discuss how to move toward Collaborator, Victor, and Helper to better manage and even improve our most difficult relationships.
