Beyond Divorce: Embracing Change

Breaking Down the Drama Triangle in Divorce Dynamics


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the "Drama Triangle," a psychological model that plays out in many relationships -- and we often see it in divorce dynamics. Michael Flores, LPC-S and Jennifer Blake, LCSW-S explain the three roles within the triangle: the persecutor, the rescuer, and the victim. Each role serves a specific purpose in the dysfunctional interaction between individuals, especially during the emotionally charged time of divorce. You will learn how the persecutor can escalate verbal attacks in a divorce and the psychological damage it causes.
They will discuss the dangers of rescuing behaviors, especially toward children, and how it stifles their independence. You will see how all three roles of the Drama Triangle can happen in a flash, keeping children caught in emotional manipulation and confusion.
