Improve your Relationships by Understanding Karpman’s Drama Triangle

This episode covers Karpman’s Drama Triangle and how it affects relationships. The model identifies three roles—Victim, Rescuer, and Prosecutor—that create unhealthy interaction patterns. Understanding these dynamics can help break negative cycles, improve communication, and build healthier connections. Recognizing when you or others fall into these roles allows for more constructive and empowering relationships.
