Changing the Dance of Survival

Dysfunctional relationships can develop for people in relation to marriage, friendships, with institutions or religion, relationships at work, or anything like that.In this episode, your host Lindsay Poelman discusses The Drama Triangle. It models three roles or positions we can have during social interactions. When you listen to the episode, remember that this isn’t to judge ourselves or others but to gain awareness and compassion for our behavior when in activated states. As we become aware of these patterns in ourselves, and the “musts” behind them, have information to support us in any necessary healing and/or boundary setting that needs to happen to support our safety. This "changing the dance" from survival to ultimate thriving isn't always comfortable as it alters the homeostasis in relationships. But it is worth it for you, to feel safe enough to change any dance moves you no longer want to practice and see if you and those in your relationships are open to "tripping forward" with you into new territory. Listen in to see why "changing the dance" does not mean that you have to completely 180 everything in your life as you develop more safety to live into and express more of your True Self. And remember, taking care of your nervous system IS changing the dance (see more of what I mean on this episode).To get the Drama Triangle Freebie, sign up here.Lindsay’s current program offerings:Looking for a new career as a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach?
