Target Audience: Anyone interested in healing the deep wounds that contribute to high dramas and chaos in personal and work relationships. Persons with prior experience and training in hands-on energetic healing will find this information especially helpful. No prior training in healing is necessary to attend this workshop.
Description: Are you always working hard helping others and somehow it backfires? You may end up being yelled at, or resenting the person you were helping? Are you too often critical, finding fault, or often unpleasant with those you love? Do you watch helplessly while they slowly become like a stranger to you OR you become a stranger to yourself?
In our personal and work lives, we often experience pain that is coupled with helplessness. We begin to think we are at the mercy of someone else's choices, directions, commands. Most of the time we unconsciously react to life from a position of victim-hood. When we refuse to take responsibility for ourselves, we are opting to play the victim. We then feel like a victim, taking pity on ourselves, and sometimes feeling helpless. These patterns of behaviors can keep us feeling helpless and hopeless.
Healing begins in this workshop when we examine the different roles of "victim-hood" as a dead-end triangular relationship with ourselves and with others. Then, a transformational process helps us out of this "going-no-where" triangle and into healthier and healing ways of relating. This transformation culminates in new healing state of Compassion, Wisdom, and Higher Purpose. In addition, this workshop includes healing "techniques" using the sacred geometric principles of triangles.
Participants will:
- Describe the Drama Dance (also known as the Karpman*** Drama triangle (victim, rescuer, persecutor) and contrast with the natural healthy state (playful, innocent, capable, vulnerable powerful and needy);
- Identify three ways the Drama Dance adversely affects personal and work life; and
- Demonstrate specific energetic healing techniques, sacred geometry and cognitive interventions for moving out of the Drama Dance and into healthy ways of relating to self and other.

*** Stephen Karpman, a teacher of Transactional Analysis coined the term, "Drama Triangle". According to Karpman, victim-hood consists of three positions or roles: Persecutor, Rescuer and Victim. He placed these three positions on an upside-down triangle, representing the three faces of victim.
