Alternatives to the Dreaded Drama Triangle of Divorce With David Emerald Womeldorff

If you’re going through a divorce, you’ve likely fallen into what David Emerald Womeldorff calls the Dreaded Drama Triangle or DDT.

 

But this framework keeps you and your ex focused on your problems rather than the outcomes you want.

 

So, what is the antidote to the toxicity of DDT? How do you shift out of fear and reactivity into creativity and empowerment?

On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, David joins Katherine to explain the concept of the Dreaded Drama Triangle, exploring how the traditional approach to divorce perpetuates the DDT.
