Welcome to "From Drama Triangle to Circle of Empowerment" Episode #100 of Co-creating Peace.
I'm delighted to have Susan Partnow join me again. While discussing Compassionate Listening in Episodes #95 & #96, Susan briefly referenced the drama triangle. Then, in Episode #97, Fleet Maull mentioned the drama triangle as well. I realized that this is a phenomenon that is so often present in conflict dynamics and so often the cause of conflict, that I need to have an episode of this podcast that focuses on the Drama Triangle so we can learn more about it and how to work constructively with our tendency to engage at that level. Susan Partnow is well-versed on the drama triangle and how to transform it into a circle of empowerment, so I invited her to return to share more of her wisdom with us.
Highlights of our conversation include:
- The 3 roles in the drama triangle and how they interact (We all step into one of these roles from time to time.)
- How to bring mindfulness to the role we’ve assumed in the drama triangle
- How to move from the drama triangle into the circle of empowerment
- How to invite others to join us in moving from the drama triangle into the circle of empowerment
Susan’s 5-session “Intro to Compassionate Listening” class, which includes working with the Drama Triangle, begins Jan. 12th. Register at compassionatelistening.org.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
