Feeling Stuck and Uncertain: Moving from Anxiety to Clarity — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Do you feel like you keep getting stuck in the same old arguments?
What drains our aliveness more than work?

And what if the thing killing your sex life had nothing to do with sex?
Today Alyson and I reveal one of — if not the — biggest killers of aliveness, intimacy, and trust. It’s the drama triangle. We explore what it truly is, how it keeps us from finding solutions, and what you can do to pull yourself from its trap.
In this conversation:
- What the Drama Triangle is and why it shows up in all relationships
- The real reason we keep trying to fix, blame, or avoid
- How to shift from Victim to Creator, Persecutor to Challenger, and Rescuer to Coach
- What to do when someone else won’t stop playing the drama game
- Simple, powerful questions that disrupt the cycle
Plus:
- How your language gives away your role in the triangle
- Why solving for “comfort” actually makes everything worse
- When NOT fixing someone is the most loving thing you can do
- The one book Tripp recommends everyone read with their partner
