Discover how to unravel complex interpersonal dynamics, shed light on destructive communication patterns, and guide your students/peers toward more fulfilling interactions. In this working session, we will explore the Drama Triangle, a simple but powerful way of seeing, naming, and changing the patterns of reactivity we humans fall into when our brain senses potential harm. You'll learn to rewire your reactivity patterns into "empowerment," taking full ownership of the thinking and behaviors needed to get the results you want. Drawing on brain science and current research, we will explore how our brains are always working to protect us from harm and how those behaviors translate into classroom culture. You'll come away with practical tools to create a safer, more empowering learning environment for your students/peers.
