DRAMA TRIANGLE VS. EMPOWERMENT DYNAMIC
In the podcast episode, Rachel discussed the Karpman Drama Triangle and how our previous traumas keep us mired in the same old patterns and scripts, relationship after relationship. We can play the role of the victim, persecutor and rescuer all in the same day with the same person.
She teaches a better method called The Empowerment Dynamic from David Emerald, where we can switch from "Victim" to "Creator" (creating our solutions), from Persecutor to Challenger (instead of criticizing, we switch to be constructive), and from Rescuer to Coach (where instead of fixing we help support our loved ones to find their own solutions). This graphic shows the switch, and we hope you find this helpful!
