Millions of People Are Trapped in Drama Triangles Here's What You Need to Know

Are You Trapped in a Drama Triangle? (Understanding the Karpman Drama Triangle & Trauma-Based Codependence) Do you find yourself repeatedly stuck in the same emotional roles in your relationships—trying to help, feeling blamed, or ending up hurt and exhausted? If so, you may be caught in what’s known as the Karpman Drama Triangle—a powerful psychological pattern that emerges from unresolved trauma and keeps people locked in codependent dynamics. In this video, we explore how the Drama Triangle is not about bad people or conscious manipulation, but about survival strategies that once protected us and are now quietly running our relationships. ________________________________________ The Three Trauma-Based Roles The Drama Triangle is made up of three emotional expressions, each rooted in trauma responses: 🔺 The Rescuer Often driven by anxiety and guilt, the rescuer feels compelled to fix, save, or soothe others. On the surface this looks caring—but underneath, it avoids their own discomfort and reinforces dependency. 🔺 The Victim The victim role is marked by helplessness and overwhelm. Responsibility feels impossible, and life is experienced as happening to them. This isn’t weakness—it’s a nervous system stuck in threat and shame. 🔺 The Persecutor The persecutor expresses unresolved pain through blame, control, criticism, or anger. This role protects vulnerability by pushing others away before they can cause harm. Most importantly, people don’t stay in one role. They rotate—sometimes within the same conversation—creating confusion, emotional exhaustion, and chronic instability. ________________________________________ Why This Leads to Codependence When trauma responses go unrecognised, these roles become addictive. Each role reinforces the others, creating emotional bonds based on fear, guilt, obligation, and shame rather than safety and authenticity. Over time, this leads to: • Chronic conflict or emotional volatility • Exhaustion from “helping” that never helps • Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt • Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions • Losing your sense of self in relationships This isn’t love. It’s trauma bonding. ________________________________________ The Way Out of the Triangle Breaking free doesn’t come from blaming yourself or others. It comes from awareness and responsibility. In this video, you’ll learn: • How the Drama Triangle forms in childhood • Why it feels so compelling and familiar • How each role avoids responsibility in a different way • How to spot when you’re being pulled into the triangle • How to step out without creating conflict Leaving the triangle means moving toward: ✔ Emotional regulation ✔ Clear boundaries ✔ Personal responsibility ✔ Adult-to-adult communication ________________________________________ This Is Trauma Work — Not Behaviour Management You cannot “logic” your way out of trauma responses. The nervous system must feel safe enough to let go of old strategies. That’s why this video isn’t about tactics—it’s about understanding. Understanding is what creates choice. ________________________________________ Free Resource 🎧 You can also access my free 20-hour audiobook on working through trauma, linked below.
