Understanding the Drama Triangle and applying it in practice Why we keep getting into the same conflicts Many conflicts repeatedly follow the same patterns—in relationships, at work, or in the family. The Drama Triangle by Stephen B. Karpman describes these dynamics between victim, persecutor, and rescuer very precisely. Often we unconsciously slip into these roles and only realize late how the situation escalates. In the video course, you learn to recognize these patterns and better understand why certain conflicts keep recurring.   Understanding the roles – victim, persecutor, and rescuer Each role in the Drama Triangle follows typical beliefs: the victim feels powerless, the persecutor looks for blame in others, and the rescuer tries to solve problems for others. All three roles avoid responsibility and feelings in their own way—and this is exactly how the dynamic arises. In the course, Christian Browa goes through these roles step by step and shows how to recognize them—in yourself and in others.     Making conflicts visible – with system board and Drama Triangle The course not only shows the theory but also how you can practically use the Drama Triangle. With the system board, figures, or the wooden Drama Triangle, conflict situations can be made visible and viewed from new perspectives. You can switch roles, recognize responsibility, and discover new possibilities for action. This turns an abstract model into an effective tool for coaching, counseling, and personal reflection.     With Christian Browa through the video course Christian Browa is a sociologist and systemic coach with many years of experience working with people, relationships, and conflict dynamics. In the podcast "Unsere Jungs," he talks about personal development, role models, and the challenges of modern relationships and families. In addition to his coaching work, he organizes father-son experiences and supports people through important developmental phases of their lives. In his daily practice, he repeatedly encounters typical conflict patterns—exactly the dynamics described in the Drama Triangle. His experience from coaching, counseling, and personal work with groups makes him a particularly authentic and practical guide through this video course.

The XXL Pro Figures – Experience systemic constellations in space Systemic work in space – without representatives The XXL Pro figures are ideal for anyone who wants to set up spatial constellations but cannot or does not want to work with representatives every time. They enable systemic work in space – clearly structured, flexibly usable, and without much organizational effort. The spatial experience remains intact: dynamics, hierarchies, and relationship networks can be made directly visible. Like a system board – only bigger, more tangible, and experienced in space.   Making connection and separation visible – with strings With the included strings, relationships can be represented, groups connected, or clear boundaries marked in the space. Whether closeness, distance, belonging, or separation – color and arrangement create a strong visual impression. The strings are also perfect for timeline techniques, life lines, or the symbolic “red thread.” They can be used like a classic therapy rope – both in combination with the figures and independently.     Visible from every perspective – also suitable for groups Thanks to their size and clear gaze direction markings, the XXL Pro figures are easy to see even from a distance. This makes them ideal for training sessions, lectures, or group processes where several people need to observe a constellation simultaneously. Whether in seminars, training, or joint scenario planning – everyone involved keeps an overview. This makes systemic work clear, accessible, and understandable even on a larger scale.     Indoors, outdoors, everywhere – flexible in use Whether in the practice room, the auditorium, or outdoors – the 20-meter band allows you to create a system field anywhere. The sturdy figures stand firmly on various surfaces and are ready to use at any time. This also opens up new possibilities for process work in natural settings. A set that goes with you – wherever the constellation leads.

About the Team Puzzle High-quality wooden pieces for active work The 44 pieces made of finely crafted beech wood feel pleasant in the hand and invite experimentation. The tactile quality especially ensures that teams start working right away and intuitively engage with structure, shape, and possibilities. This promotes concentration and joint exploration – without lengthy explanations.   Collaboration becomes immediately visible With the Team Puzzle, the very first attempt reveals how teams communicate, make assumptions, or influence each other. Who takes the lead? Who waits? Who clings to the familiar? The exercise playfully makes these patterns visible and provides a powerful basis for reflection and development within the team.     The moment of perspective shift The crucial learning moment occurs when the team realizes that the puzzle can only be solved by flipping individual pieces. This small, surprising shift in perspective clearly shows how strongly routines shape our thinking – and how liberating it can be to break away from familiar patterns. An aha moment that lasts.     Complete set – ready to use immediately in training With 40 puzzle pieces, frame parts, a storage bag, instructions, and high-quality packaging, the Team Puzzle is ready to use right away. Whether in coaching, workshops, school, or team development – the compact set can be quickly integrated anywhere and reliably creates dynamics, interaction, and lasting learning experiences.

About the Team Dynamic Chart Analyze team dynamics in a structured way The Team Dynamic Chart documentation pad enables you to systematically make complex team processes visible.

This results in comprehensible analyses instead of vague impressions. Document, compare, recognize developments With 50 high-quality tear-off sheets, the documentation pad offers plenty of space for notes, timelines, and recurring patterns. Changes in the team can be recorded and reflected on over several sessions. This creates clarity in coaching, team development, supervision, and moderation. Practically explained in the video In the short hands-on video, we show you step by step how to use the Team Dynamic Chart in practice. You’ll see exactly how to enter observations, mark dynamics, and document developments. Ready to implement – without theoretical overload. Perfectly combinable with ideen.kollektiv teambuilding tools The Team Dynamic Chart unfolds its full potential in combination with other teambuilding tools from ideen.kollektiv – such as the Fröbelturm, the Teambahn, or the Team Puzzle. 

About the Fröbelturm Master Bundle Why the Fröbelturm is so effective for teams The Fröbelturm is one of the best-known team-building games for communication and collaboration. The task seems simple: a team is to stack wooden blocks into a tower using a rope crane. In practice, however, it quickly becomes clear that this only works through clear communication and coordinated action. Every movement affects the entire system. That is why the Fröbelturm has been used for many years in team trainings, workshops, and seminars. Different variants for various team exercises The Fröbelturm Master Bundle offers several game variants in one set. In addition to the classic Fröbelturm, the bundle also includes the Mini-Fröbelturm and an expansion set with additional blocks. This allows trainers and facilitators to design different difficulty levels. Teams can start with the basic version and then try more challenging variants. This keeps the exercise exciting and effective even in repeated trainings. Making communication visible The Fröbelturm quickly shows how communication works within a team. Even small misunderstandings cause the tower to become unstable or blocks to fall. Teams must learn to give clear instructions and listen attentively. At the same time, a shared rhythm of observing, speaking, and acting develops. This makes the exercise a powerful learning moment for collaboration. Intentionally increase difficulty The included blindfolds can significantly increase the challenge. When individual participants cannot see anything, precise communication suddenly becomes crucial. Teams must clearly articulate information and take responsibility. This creates intense learning experiences around trust, leadership, and collaboration. Especially in trainings or workshops, this leads to strong aha moments.     A versatile tool for workshops and training sessions The Fröbelturm is used worldwide in team trainings, workshops, and seminars. The exercise is suitable for companies, educational institutions, and training groups. Through the combination of movement, strategy, and communication, an active learning experience is created. Participants immediately experience how collaboration works—and where it can be improved. This is exactly what makes the Fröbelturm a timeless classic in team building.

A dynamic tool for coordination and active team building.     Precision in small scale – the classic Spirograph The compact Spirograph is perfect for smaller groups or as an introduction to teamwork.

About the Metaphor Cards Starter Bundle Your metaphor treasure for small groups and 1:1 processes This starter bundle is especially practical when you work with small groups or need quick, suitable impulses in a 1:1 context. With 5 cards per motif, you have enough copies to distribute simultaneously in workshops, draw in team rounds, or assign individual cards as tasks. At the same time, the set is perfect as a small metaphor treasure to give as a gift – to people you work with or who are important to you, to whom you want to give a helpful thought or emotional impulse. Whether as a spontaneous conversation starter, a reflection card for home, or a therapeutic "takeaway": you always have a strong metaphor ready when it’s needed.   The Elephant in the Room In the middle of the room stands an elephant – huge, unmistakable, yet no one talks about it. This metaphor represents exactly that: the obvious that everyone senses but no one addresses. The card makes unspoken topics visible without creating pressure. It is an ideal entry point when something stands between people – in teams, couples, or individual coaching. Especially suitable for conversations about tensions, taboos, hidden conflicts, or situations where a clear statement is long overdue.     Good for conversation. Good for the conscience. Our metaphor cards are deliberately created with a commitment to quality and responsibility: printed in Germany, climate-neutral, and on extra sturdy, matte 450 g chromo sulfate cardboard. This ensures a high-quality feel, long durability, and a professional experience in use – whether in coaching, therapy, or workshops. Through local production and CO₂ compensation, not only are the impulses strong, but the ecological footprint is kept as small as possible.     The Mask A person holds a white mask in front of their face. What lies behind remains hidden – feelings, thoughts, perhaps even their own truth. This card represents protection and distance: the roles we play to be accepted, the strategies we use to avoid vulnerability, or the need not to have to show something. It invites discussion about authenticity, shame, self-protection, and the "true face" behind the facade. Especially suitable for processes involving identity, social expectations, proximity-distance issues, and the courage to show oneself honestly.

About the Metaphor Cards Workshop Bundle Feeling Cards Set (free in the workshop bundle) Each feeling card represents a specific emotion – clearly recognizable and immediately usable. This allows workshops and coaching sessions to be even more rounded: as a brief check-in at the start, as reflection in between, or as a closing round ("Which emotion is behind this metaphor?"). In combination with the metaphor cards, deeper insights quickly emerge because feelings become visible and nameable – without having to search for them long.   The Elephant in the Room In the middle of the room stands an elephant – huge, unmistakable, yet no one talks about it.
