The Power of TED

Another book you might find interesting — if you can get past the odd parable-like style in which it is written — is The Power of TED: The Empowerment Dynamic by David Emerald.  In this book the author suggests that a common dynamic in relationships is that of Victim, Rescuer and Persecutor (sometimes referred to as the “Drama Triangle”).  He offers ways to identify this dynamic, understand our role in it (do we tend to be a Rescuer or a Victim, for example) and suggests an alternative which he calls The Empowerment Dynamic (TED).  In this model, there is a Creator, Challenger and a Coach to replace the Victim, Persecutor and Rescuer, respectively.  These models are useful to identify negative patterns in our thinking and replace them with positive ones. https://a.co/d/frXpCzg
