drama triangle
The drama triangle is a psychological model that illustrates the dynamics of interpersonal conflict. It consists of three roles: the Victim, the Persecutor, and the Rescuer. Each role represents a different way individuals can engage in unhealthy interactions, often leading to a cycle of blame and emotional distress.
In this model, the Victim feels powerless and seeks support, the Persecutor criticizes or blames others, and the Rescuer tries to help but often enables the Victim's dependency. Understanding these roles can help individuals break free from negative patterns and foster healthier relationships.
