The Drama Triangle Beyond the Couch with Bridges

This week, Christie, Sam, and Diana get together to continue their conversation on codependency and people-pleasing. They discuss a common dynamic that can happen in families and other relationships, called the “drama triangle,” in which each individual takes on and/or moves through playing a “rescuer,” “victim,” or “persecutor” role. They walk through an example scenario of how this scene can play out and explain what can happen when this triangulation is perpetuated and not quelled at some point.
