The Karpman (Drama) Triangle


Listen Later

This week, Kat is breaking down The Karpman Triangle, also known as the Drama Triangle. The Karpman Triangle, developed by Stephan Karpman, is a way to explain a very common pattern of dysfunctional relationship dynamics that includes three roles: persecutor, rescuer, and victim. This dynamic describes how people who were taught that it was unsafe to directly ask for what they needed to operate in order to still get their needs in some way.  In this episode you will learn about the roles and how they play out and also find out how to get out of the cyclical pattern that playing these roles creates.
