Are You In a Drama Triangle?

episode
Description

Where there are relationships — at work, in the family, with friends — there is the potential for drama. Because of which, this episode is super relatable and, most likely, a very crucial listen for everyone.

Today, I break down the dreaded Drama Triangle. And, more importantly, I’ll help you explore how to get out of it!

 

You’ll find out:

  • What exactly is the Drama Triangle and who coined the term
  • Why the Drama Triangle doesn’t necessarily need to include 3 people
  • Who/what is the rescuer, the persecutor and the villain
  • Why the roles we play often stem from our childhood
  • Victimhood and identifying as such
  • The language of those with a victim mentality
  • Why recognizing you identify as a victim is helpful
  • What is the Empowerment Dynamic
  • How parents don’t realize they might be turning their kids into victims
