Is Your Christmas Tree a Drama Triangle?
It's time for the really scary part of the year to begin...Â
The Holidays!Â
That wonderful time of the year where you get together with you family to remember who you are and where you came from…
Whether you like it or not!
Just kidding…kind of.
But whether you’re “no contact” or “full contact” when it comes to your family…
The promises of pleasant traditions that this time of year brings can be marred by minefields of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, people-pleasing, and every kind of drama you can think of (and, often, at least a few kinds that you could never have come up with on your own).
Many people work hard all year long to free and expand their heart and mind…
Only to have 5 minutes with their extended family serve as undeniable evidence of how far they haven’t come.
Others are torn between the desire to guiltlessly opt out of an inconvenient or unappealing family gathering…
And the feeling that they should be able to attend without getting sucked in to whatever drama or negative energy is on offer this year.
Whether you’re looking for ways to feel more okay and at ease and guilt-free about doing your own thing this year…
Or wanting to prepare yourself to keep your peace and equanimity and confidence intact while heading into the breach of some potentially tense or toxic family interactions…
We’ve got some tips and tricks that you do not want to enter into this holiday season without.
You probably wouldn’t hike through the Alaskan wilderness without at least carrying a can of bear spray with you…
And you probably should embark on another season of holiday cheer without taking a crash course in the Games People Play, either.Â
This isn’t about how awful your family is or about how you should be able to put up with anything so long as you’re “enlightened” enough.
It’s about the unconscious, automatic, patterned sequences of interactions that occur between people…
And the minefields and tripwires and other boobytraps that are scattered throughout them.
It’s about the haunted house that is the human mind…
And how, if you aren’t conscious, every conversation with another person is a mutual entrance into one another’s halls of smoke and mirrors and trapdoors jump-scares.
So, if you want to be smart and feel good no matter what your family is like and regardless of what you do this holiday season…
