The “Drama Triangle” is a model created by Dr. Stephen Karpman used to describe the ROLES we unconsciously play in our relationships. We may PLAY THE PART of a:
VICTIM
RESCUER
PERSECUTOR
If you are in the habit of “playing the Rescuer”, you might be:
avoids your own problems/feelings
people-pleasing
emotionally enmeshing with others
swooping in to save the day
wanting attention for being a martyr
expecting reciprocation for good deeds
keeping victims needing them
virtue-signaling
doing more than what's "reasonable"
assuming what others need while denying your own needs
resentful and exhausted
be unaware of what you need because you’re focused on others
codependent and enabling
guilty if not rescuing
using guilt to keep victims dependent
deriving your total value from what they do for others
Thinking: "If you need me, you won't leave me” or "If I take care of you, you will take care of me.”
