Healing Codependency: Finding Safety Beyond the Drama Triangle with Kitty Chambliss


Listen Later

Key takeaways:

  • The Drama Triangle highlights common toxic roles in relationships—Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer—that often stem from early life experiences and lead to conflict, blame, and resentment.
  • Recognizing when you’re playing one of these roles is the first step in breaking free from unhealthy relationship cycles.
  • Codependency often manifests in the Rescuer role, where individuals overextend themselves to fix others, leading to emotional exhaustion and stunted personal growth.
  • The Observer Triangle offers a transformative approach:
    • Victim → Observer: Fosters self-awareness and mindfulness.
    • Persecutor → Asserter: Promotes healthy boundaries and respectful communication.
    • Rescuer → Nurturer: Provides support without enabling or sacrificing self-care.
  • Establishing clear, respectful boundaries is essential for maintaining healthy relationships and prioritizing self-care.
  • Practical tools like the HALT method (checking if you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired) help regulate emotions and shift interactions from drama to empowerment
