HOW TO BREAK “ THE DRAMA TRANGLE ”

Scrutinize assumptions. Believe – people can help themselves. Do not help unless asked . Do not help without a “contract”. Do not do what

you don’t want to do . Help people to find ways to help

themselves.

Enhancing Adult Responses

Always remain focused on facts

Use persuasion rather than authority to over come opposition

Do not put too much vanity into any absolute certainty.



Never discourage thinking.

Do not respect anybody blindly, for there are always contrary authority to be found.



Do not use power to suppress opinion

Do not fear to be eccentric.

Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than passive agreement.



Be scrupulously truthful even if it is inconvenient.

Never be too embarrassed to say that you care and love.

“ GOOD LIFE IS INSPIRED BY LOVE; AND GUIDED BY KNOWLEDGE”
