  • The Drama Triangle
    Oct 16 2025

    Episode 4, Season 2: The Drama Triangle

    In this episode, we dive into two powerful models that help us understand how we show up in conversations and conflicts. We explore the Drama Triangle, a really useful framework for recognising the roles we slip into when tension rises and the Communication Pie, which breaks down what truly carries weight in how we communicate.

    Spoiler: it’s not the words! Most of what we “hear” comes from body language and tone. So if someone’s words sound fine but something feels off, you’re probably picking up on the real message beneath the surface.


    This episode has some great visual prompts so do watch if you can.
