Join us for this fun, interactive transformational coaching session to explore the Drama Triangle and reframe to the Winner's Triangle. The Drama Triangle is a psychological model of human behaviour describing dysfunctional interactions and roles within relationships or conflict with recurring destructive patterns.  It is a subconscious game of power with three primary roles: victim, rescuer and persecutor. Everyone in the triangle is stuck, moving perpetually between all these roles.  Drama triangles are relevant in primary care arising frequently in consultations and team interactions. Research shows that it diminishes performance, wastes time and energy,  over-investigation, compassion fatigue, blurred boundaries, co-dependency, negative impact on practice culture and leads to burnout.Learn about the relevance, impact and consequences of the Drama Triangle in Primary Care and why medics have an affinity to the rescuer role and how to change this.   Identify Drama Triangles and learn practical strategies to escape and avoid entering, taking the bait or hooking others into the game.  Reframe to the Winner's TriangleInteractive, fun, experiential learning session based on validated, evidence based transformational coaching workshop.
