22.01.2022 "Spending too much time in a bad relationship can lead to becoming dependent upon the other person, then we become co-dependant and not even realise it, thus making it hard to move out and on from such a relationship. A healthy relationship is where two people live independent lives together based on mutual love, trust and respect. If you find yourself in relationship that is not serving and honouring you then it might be time to re evaluate where you are and where you want to be and the kind of relationships that fill your bucket."

17.01.2022 Developed in the late 60s by Stephen Karpman, The Drama Triangle, and its later-suggested solution, The Empowerment Dynamic, could possibly help you to build healthier, more harmonious and fulfilling relationships. Three roles play out in The Drama Triangle: The persecutor feels powerful by blaming, dominating and being aggressive.... The victim feels powerless, is passive and thinks ‘poor me’. The rescuer thinks ‘poor you’ about the victim, and is compelled to ‘save’ them. The rescuer feels needed by doing so. Try not to look at this dysfunctional dynamic from the superficial and fairy-tale viewpoint of good (rescuer) versus evil (persecutor). It’s easy to like the heroic rescuer and dislike the bullying persecutor; and it’s human nature to want to help the victim. Remember that all players here are projecting their unresolved pain, their sense of unworthiness and their lack of personal power. The Solution Developed in the early 2000s by David Emerald, The Empowerment Dynamic, turns the Drama Triangle upside down, suggesting new roles: Victim to Creator, Persecutor to Challenger, Rescuer to Coach. (See image 2) According to this model, if you find yourself in victim mode, practise moving towards creator role: Find ways to be self-responsible. Avoid submitting to and then blaming the persecutor. Be careful of being ‘rescued’ by someone, which may temporarily relieve your problem, but would ultimately keep you powerless. If you find yourself in persecutor mode, practise moving towards challenger role: Be assertive rather than aggressive. To clarify image 2 in this post: Be a challenger consciously; doing it unconsciously won’t be constructive. Motivate others by using a ‘power-with’ rather than a ‘power-over’ approach. If you find yourself in rescuer mode, practise moving towards coach role: Check that your help is strengthening others and not making them dependent on you. Work on your self-esteem so that you no-longer ‘need to be needed’. (Or as the aeroplane safety demonstration puts it: ‘Fit your own oxygen mask before helping others’) Being a coach means preferring to do things with someone, rather than for them. Recognise that they have to find their own solutions, and help them to do so by asking them questions, instead of giving advice.

15.01.2022 "Empowerment Self Defense has been proven to be one of the most well-researched & most proven violence prevention interventions that exists. There is clear evidence that shows that when empowerment self-defense training is introduced into a community, like a college campus, the incidence of completed acts of violence drops by about fifty percent." ~ Yehudit Zicklin-Sidikman, ESD Global President & Founder.
