💭 Do you ever notice the same patterns repeating in your relationships?
Karpman’s Drama Triangle is a simple model that can help us spot these dynamics and understand why we sometimes feel stuck.
In counselling, I use this framework to support clients in exploring patterns safely and building healthier ways of relating.

🚨 Nationwide Emergency Alert Test🚨

This Sunday 7th September 3pm.

The UK’s new emergency alert system will send a loud siren, message, and vibration to every compatible phone even on silent. Survivors of abuse with hidden phones could be put at risk if the device is discovered.

You can opt out in your phone’s settings to protect your safety.
✅ iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts
✅ Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)
