Drama - Relationship Drama

By Bonny Albo, About.com

Definition:

With regards to a relationship, drama refers to the emotional upheaval or turbulence felt in a relationship on an episodic level that has no resolution.

Some counselors feel that drama in a relationship is usually associated with shame-based behaviors, such as contempt, denial, distancing, control and/or rage that prevent either party involved from really dealing with a specific relationship issue.
