Interpersonal drama is created from conflict, insecurity, and pain. Perhaps you live in a family where gossip and conflict are common. Or maybe your workplace environment is like this. These types of family and/or work dynamics can get quite heated with tension. In an attempt to cope with the situation, you may be forced to detach yourself from it all. This may work to some degree, but tuning out or walking away is only a part of the process. As you walk away, remind yourself that you are Neutralizing drama now by uttering that phrase to yourself. See yourself as becoming neutral to what is happening. This means the drama does not impact you either way. In other words, you are able to observe without being drawn in.
