EPISODE OVERVIEW
Joel and Antonia dive into the “hero” role in the drama triangle, revealing why it’s the most seductive, and potentially the most dangerous, identity of the three. They explore how the desire to be seen as good or selfless can mask deeper insecurities, fuel control dynamics, and create dependency. Through psychological models, cultural critique, and personal reflection, they offer the “coach” role from the Empowerment Dynamic as a more balanced, sustainable path to real empowerment and growth.
