Drama Triangle

The Drama Triangle is a psychological model that illustrates dysfunctional social interactions, consisting of three roles: Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer. The Victim feels helpless and seeks support; the Persecutor blames or criticizes others; and the Rescuer tries to save the Victim, often sacrificing their own needs. This dynamic creates a cycle of conflict and dependency, preventing healthy communication and resolution. Understanding the roles can help individuals break free from negative patterns, fostering more constructive relationships and empowering everyone to take responsibility for their own emotions and actions.
