Episode 387

Friday, May 3, 2024 • Duration 53:23

A thought-provoking conversation with Jamie George about the concepts of agreements and expectations. Jamie shared insights on how expectations can lead to resentment and how shifting to agreements can improve relationships and foster collaboration. We delved into the dynamics of the Drama Triangle, exploring victim, perpetrator, and rescuer roles, and how moving to the Green Triangle can empower individuals to take ownership, set boundaries, and engage in negotiation.

We discussed the significance of addressing shame in a healthy way and the power of inviting change rather than imposing it.
