Tip 3 to Help Manage Drama: Examine Your Own Role

When someone is stirring things up, it's okay to not engage.

Don't take the bait.

Learn ways to redirect the conversation away from drama.

A few suggestions are:
"I really don't have the energy for that right now."

"Let's talk about something positive."

"I hear you, but I really don't want to get pulled into that."

"That's not really something I prefer to weigh in on."

If this is new for you, it may be uncomfortable, and that's okay.

Continue working on it to help make it more comfortable over time.

Self-awareness is the first step to breaking the pattern.

Reflect: “Do I feel more important, needed, or connected when there’s conflict?”

TIP 2: Stick to the Facts, Not Feelings

Drama often grows when emotions become the only focus. Sticking to the facts, not feelings can help keep you from getting caught in the cycle of drama.

Encourage separating what actually happened from the story around it.

Try asking yourself, “What do I know for sure, and what am I assuming?”

Answering this can guide you towards resolution based on facts, not feelings.

Drama can drain energy, distort perspective, and strain relationships. If you find yourself drawn to or stuck in drama cycles, try this:

TIP 1:
PAUSE BEFORE REACTING

Take a breath before responding to emotionally charged situations.

Then, ask yourself, “Am I ready to respond to this appropriately right now, or should I wait?”

A pause interrupts impulsive reactions that often feed drama.
