Talk:The Empowerment Dynamic

An Expanded version of the Empowerment Dynamic
There is an article describing an evolutionary set of process stages to escape the Karpman triangle by adding 2 more dimensions to it. The first dimension is the Karpman Triangle considered as a 'Conditional State' of Shame. The second dimension as The Empowerment Dynamic where a 'Conditional State' of Empathy is achieved. Then a third dimension can be evolved to where a 'Conditional State' of Self-Esteem allows the tension dynamic at play between the triangle points to dissipate, effectively freeing any of the positions from the Karpman triangle conundrum. There is also a fourth point of relevant consideration in the position external to the triangle. The article can be seen here http://www.thetemplespace.com/evolving-through-the-karpman-drama-power-triangle/ I would like to propose it is considered for inclusion into both the Karpman and the Empowerment Dynamic possibly as a way to tie them in to one another as well as offering an escape from the dynamic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.22.79.114 (talk) 05:23, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Viable alternative to Karpman's Drama Triangle
The Empowerment Dynamic is a viable alternative to Karpman's Drama Triangle. This new way of thinking has begun to be adopted and used by therapists and coaches around the world. The ICF, International Coaches Federation, is currently reviewing the TED* curriculum for continuing education credits for certified coaches. Having read the book and used the frameworks in my own life and with my clients, I find The Empowerment Dynamic to be a revolutionary change in coaching/therapy techniques. TED* has been endorsed by Dr. Stephen Karpman, Dr. Sharon Stanley (a scholar-practitioner in the field of somatic therapy), Victoria Castle, a Master Certified Somatic Coach, The Leadership Circle, The University of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business, and many others.

It is my belief that The Empowerment Dynamic is worthy of an encyclopedic entry for its innovative escape from the Drama Triangle. Dkeigh2010 (talk) 23:36, 26 July 2010 (UTC).

This concept, book, and author do not meet notability standards
==I have added notes below that will show that this model meets notability standards and deserves to be listed as a topic on a separate non-merged page== Dkhulbert55

I cleaned this article up - removed the repetition and the explanation of the Karpman drama triangle (the link is enough).

The Empowerment Dynamic is interesting, it is however, only a minor embellishment of the Karpman drama triangle and the concepts are a rehash of the work published by ''Choy, Acey (1990). The Winner's Triangle Transactional Analysis Journal 20(1):40'' ( http://scribd.com/doc/52446575/TAJ-1990-Acey-Choy-The-winners-triangle-r#scribd ).

The consensus in May 2015 was that the author of the book is not notable Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Emerald Womeldorff. The book is not listed in Wikipedia.

The book author is David Emerald which is a pen name for David Emerald Womeldorff (author bio). The David Emerald Womeldorff has been incorrectly listed as author.

The citations in version 661055380 (prior to my clean up) all tied back to the author or to small private blogs or marketing sites.

There was one reference to the International Transactional Analysis Association (https://www.itaaworld.org/what-transactional-analysis) but it has nothing to do with The Empowerment Dynamic.

If this concept is endorsed by Dr. Stephen Karpman, Dr. Sharon Stanley (a scholar-practitioner in the field of somatic therapy) SEE NOTE BELOW, Victoria Castle, a Master Certified Somatic Coach, The Leadership Circle, The University of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business ', and many others (as asserted in the subsection above) there need to be citations to establish the endorsements. Otherwise, this article is probably a merge or deletion candidate.

RESPONSE: Dr. Sharon Stanley states "the self-image is the way we think of ourselves that actually has a neuro-biological substrate. That the thoughts that we hold actually are replicated in our body and in our body's chemistry and in our body's neurophysiology. So that a belief is not simply just in the mind, it's mind and body. So it's essential when we're working with something like TED* [*The Empowerment Dynamic] to really recognize that we can shift the belief, but we have to be able to shift the biological substrate that's holding the belief in place. And I think that's what David [Emerald] has the potential of doing through TED*, is helping people become aware that it's complex, these concepts of victimization and there needs to be a change in the reality and particularly in the reality of how the body is holding that memory." On the shift from Victim to Creator, Stanley says "It's a major shift, it's a major transformation. It's the transformation create a major shift in the implicit memory system that is in the right hemisphere of the brain that's holding the old memory of I am a victim and the transformation of this memory into the possibility of a new future. Not a future based on the past and of the old memory but a future based on the possibilities of who I am when I am empowered, when I have agency."
