Unlocking Psychological Flexibility: Exploring the Drama Triangle and Agile Communication with Dr. Carrie Johansson Episode 2

The Agile Within

Can you imagine transforming the stifling patterns of your daily interactions into liberating dialogues? Join us as we unravel the complexities of interpersonal dynamics with psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Carrie Johansson. Dr. Carrie enlightens us about the drama triangle, characterized by the roles of bully, rescuer, and victim, and how this stifling pattern plays out in our everyday conversations. She then introduces the liberating counterpart - the winners triangle, which offers a path to acceptance and commitment therapy.
We also touch on the critical aspect of psychological flexibility as we explore the integration of social skills in agile frameworks. Transitioning from traditional communication models to collaborative ones can be a hurdle, but with Dr. Carrie's insightful perspectives, we delve into the behavioral side of agility. We also discuss the edge cases of the drama triangle, where trust plays a vital role in transitioning from one triangle to the other.
In the final segment of our enlightening discussion, we delve into the process of shifting fixed characteristics into practicable tendencies. Using hand-eye coordination as an analogy, we tackle the concept of improvement through practice. Dr. Carrie sheds light on overcoming psychological rigidity, loss aversion, and resistance to change encountered when transitioning from traditional frameworks to agile ones. The power of the 'rule of five' is also discussed as a tool to expand options and flexibility. We wrap up with a sneak peek into Dr. Carrie’s book, ‘Self-Help on the Go’, a practical guide to navigate life's tricky moments. Join us on this journey to unlock your psychological flexibility and harness the power of choice.
