I went a bit off piste yesterday talking about the drama triangle and my own personal grievances. So today I have my final attempt at explaining the drama triangle. I don't think I do the victim role justice in this description. Basically, the point of the triangle is when we get into unhealthy relationship dynamics that we repeat over and over, with no one taking accountability for their own emotional experience. The persecutor takes a place of righteous anger, wanting to punish others. The victim feels like everything is done 'to' them and basically disempowers themself or puts the blame on others. And the saviour - to deal with their own discomfort or anxiety etc. - tries to rescue everyone else, coming in to fix things and try and make everything ok.
