Very insightful view into relationship dynamics and the roles people play in the dynamic. After taking the course I am looking forward to being in relationships differently and observing the roles I play as well as those around me. I am looking forward to a more healthy cycle.

The lessons where you explained how you can transmute from victim to vulnerable, from rescuers to caring, and from perpetrator to assertive is life transforming. It has been a true discovery about myself and how I handle my relationships. From now one having this knowledge about the triangle of disempowerment and how to chance the dynamic will put a new light in my life. Thank you!

Excelent! Short, direct and insightful.

A good reminder, but pretty basic and repetitive. It would have been good to have this model named accurately as the Karpman Drama Triangle and credited to Stephen Karpman who popularized the model in the 60s. Then learners can read further after this initial orientation.

Maya’s softness and her gentle delivery on this course helped me to see that there are many roles we all take at different times depending on what roles are filled by others and how we remain in roles because usually there is a payoff to staying in them. As in any challenging work, it is important to sit in witness of ourselves and how we are moving in and out of these roles and the challenges it can create for our relationships. The course is thoughtfully curated and kindly delivered and I strongly recommend to anyone who is willing to do the deep self inquiry around who we are being in our relationships and expect some surprises. ✨💕

Such a good course and the triangle made such sense. Breaking down all of the participants in the relationship and how they can interchange is so very true and interesting 🤔

Thank you so much for this insightful course. I didn’t realize all these while I was playing the perpetrator role during all the arguments with my loved ones, im hoping I change to assertiveness
