In reply to Drama triangle, posted by Dinah on July 22, 2005, at 12:28:32
ok... so i'm not too keen on the old drama triangle... one of my old p-docs tried to suggest that playing one of those corners might just be the story of my life. and in round about our second session together! ok... so it was probably just one of those bad timing things and i should probably think on it a little more...
i believe i said something like 'well, thats all very well but if you don't know how to play it differently then what are you supposed to do?' and maybe that is it. i think there are typical patterns of thinking / perceiving / responding that are associated with each of those roles. so when you see yourself get into those patterns you can recognise it.
but then what are you supposed to do?
you need an alternative conceptualisation in order to be able to jump off.
otherwise... there is little to do but to shut the hell up.
