While most of us are aware of playing mind games on times, we may be unaware of how pervasive these games may be in everyday life. Drama triangle, is one of the most well-known of these games. Stephen Karpman initially developed the drama triangle, drawing on Transaktionsanalyse (TA), a psychological discipline that aims to analyse human relationships (or transactions). Every time we talk or engage with someone, TA refers to it as a “transaction,” and our daily lives are full of them.

Transaktionsanalyse

The drama triangle is made up of three different parties or components that Kommunikation with one another. There are three types of people: the victim the one who feels they can never accomplish anything right), the saviour (who is seeking to help the victim, and the persecutor who criticises the victim for being weak and the saviour for encouraging the weakness. None of the roles, not even the saviour, are good since they all fulfil a negative psychological want that the performers have: the victim wants to feel helpless, the rescuer wants to feel needed by the sufferer, and the persecutor wants to feel superior to the others. The roles feed off of one other and often alter amongst the participants. In reality, the issue persists precisely because individuals transition fast between responsibilities, preventing problems from being thoroughly explored or remedied.

We can try to lessen our drama triangles by assessing what we feel our lives are about keeping an eye out for interactions in which we encourage others or allow them to manipulate us into feeding their rage or guilt. When we cease attacking and/or blaming, the triangle comes to a halt.
