The “Drama Triangle” is a model created by Dr. Stephen Karpman used to describe the ROLES we unconsciously play in our relationships. We may PLAY THE PART of a:
VICTIM
RESCUER
PERSECUTOR
“Victims depend on a savior (rescuer), rescuers yearn for a basket case, and persecutors need a scapegoat… each role in the drama triangle has its own payoffs. Victims get to be taken care of. Rescuers get to feel good by caretaking. Persecutors get to remain feeling superior… but the cost is… to miss out on… healthy, resonant, resilient relationships… “
“The Triangle of Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor - What It Is and How To Get Out”

In a healthy relationship, independence is encouraged, celebrated, and respected. In an “enmeshed” relationship, a person is expected to think, feel, and act according to spoken or unspoken rules and expectations.
Here are 5 SIGNS that you may be in an enmeshed relationship:
Murky Emotions: your feelings are entangled with your partner’s.
Ask yourself: “Are these my emotions - or theirs?”
Individuality is Criminal:
Ask yourself: “Am I allowed to be and value who and what I value?”
Role to Play:
Ask yourself: “Do I have to conform to keep the peace - or, am I walking on eggshells?”
Outsourced Emotions:
Ask yourself: “Do my self-esteem and confidence depend on the quality of the relationship? Am I blamed for their emotions?”
All on You:
Ask yourself: “Is it all on me to make things better or to fix things?”
Based on “Signs That You May Be in an Enmeshed Relationship” by Joe Paul.

There are THREE categories of relationships that feel impossible to leave EVEN IF the relationship is toxic.
You have a HISTORY with that person:
known them for a long time
childhood friends
high school or college friends
related to them
worked with them
You are in close PROXIMITY to the person:
neighbor
friend of a friend
a family member or friend’s significant other
co-worker or colleague
You share a CONTEXT or SPACE or ARENA with that person:
same friend group
same school
same organization
same activity
same community
Parents of your kids’ friends
Ask yourself this question:
“If I Met Them TODAY, would I choose to be in a relationship with them?”
Did your body feel:
open, expansive and light?
closed, constricted and heavy?

People are NOT toxic - but behaviors and relationships can be.
I describe behaviors and relationships as TOXIC if:
they are harmful
they are mentally, physically or emotionally unhealthy
Here are 7 types of toxic behaviors in relationships. When do you notice that you or someone else plays the part of a:
“Conversational Narcissist” or a “Chatty Cathy” who hogs the conversations and steals all of the “air time”What benefit do you get from talking non-stop instead of being interested in others?
What does it cost you?
“Straightjacket” who tries to control and may offer backhanded complimentsWhat benefit do you get from controlling others or thinking they should be just like you?
What does it cost you?
“Emotional Moocher” or “Debbie Downer” or “Emotional Vampire”What benefit do you get from dumping your problems and emotions on others?
What does it cost you?
“Drama Magnet”What benefit do you get from jumping from one crisis to another or from always blaming something or someone for your misery?
“J.J.” - “Jealous and Judgmental”What benefit do you get from being jealous of and judgmental toward others?
What is it costing you?
“Tank” or “Know-It-All” or “Bossy Bully”What benefit do you get from forcing and pressuring others to do things “your way”?
What is it costing you?

People are NOT toxic - but behaviors and relationships can be.
Chemicals and Poisons are toxic if you:
are exposed to them
ingest them
We may unconsciously be exposed to toxic behaviors or be in toxic relationships. Awareness will allow you to decide what you will or will not tolerate.
I describe behaviors and relationships as TOXIC if:
they are harmful
they are mentally, physically or emotionally unhealthy
I invite you to consider these questions:
When you describe someone as “toxic”, what are they saying or doing?
When you think the thought “he/she is toxic”, what do you feel:
dread?
drained or exhausted?
obligated?
angry?
resentful or bitter?
frustrated?
sad or disappointed?
afraid or nervous?
When you were feeling these emotions, did you:
blame them?
criticize or persecute them?
look for someone to rescue you from them?

I help my clients delegate in their professional and personal lives. Here are a few “delegation” questions for your consideration:
Is this a task at work or home that only I can do?
Why is this task a priority?
What about this task classifies it as something only I can do?
How often will I complete this task?
Which staff member/family member could do this instead?
What do they need in order to do it well?
Is there someone I might consider hiring to do this?
What skill sets/talents are required to do this task?
I also help my clients STOP delegating decision-making to their brains, and start making decisions in their bodies.
When we delegate responsibility for our emotions to others, we play the role of Victim in our professional and personal relationships. I empower clients to feel their emotions, learn from them, and create positive emotions on purpose.

Applying knowledge by problem-solving
Analyzing, categorizing, correlating, and making conclusions
Evaluating, criticizing, reframing, and prioritizing
Creating, designing, developing and inventing

If you are BLAMING someone else for how you’re feeling, you are in the habit of delegating the responsibility for your emotions to them.
Dr. Stephen Karpman’s “The Drama Triangle” is a model that explains the unconscious, unintentional roles we play in our relationships:
A person “playing the role of VICTIM” is in the habit of BLAMING others for how they feel and is searching for a savior.
A person “playing the role of RESCUER” is in the habit of “swooping in to save the day” and takes on the emotions of the VICTIM in order to feel needed and useful.
A person “playing the role of PERSECUTOR” is in the habit of ATTACKING or CRITICIZING the VICTIM and the RESCUER and is searching for a scapegoat.
Other people are not responsible for how you are feeling or for making you feel better.
When someone else says or does something that you didn’t want or expect, your brain will make their words or actions MEAN SOMETHING.
This MEANING or THOUGHT will create a vibration in your body.
That VIBRATION is a FEELING.
What you are feeling will FUEL what you do or don’t do.
If you need some help delegating your emotions ONLY to you, I can help.
You deserve to feel ALL of your emotions - they are not good or bad - they are simply opportunities for you to learn and gain awareness.

When we delegate, we ask or request that another person take over a task, job, or responsibility. Asking or requesting is not a problem - what does become problematic is assuming what the other person will think or feel about us when we make the request or ask for help.
Brooke Castillo, Master Life Coach and founder of The Life Coach School teaches a concept called “Math vs. Drama”:
The MATH = the FACTS:
The job, task, or responsibility you are requesting that another person will do.
The DRAMA = THOUGHTS about the facts.
The DRAMA is what we assume the other person will THINK or FEEL about our request or about us.
A type of delegation is creating and communicating a BOUNDARY.
A BOUNDARY = a request + response.
A REQUEST is what you’d like the other person to do or not do.
A RESPONSE is what you will do regardless of the other person being willing or able to meet your request.

In “How To Delegate Effectively: 9 Tips for Managers,” by Lauren Landry of the Harvard Business School, there are 6 main reasons why people won’t delegate.
The sixth reason we refuse to delegate is believing that we’re the only who can do it RIGHT.
I invite you to consider these questions:
Is it really true that I’m the only one or that there's only one way?
Is it really true that there’s a RIGHT or WRONG way to do this?
Does it serve me to use the word RIGHT?
Am I aiming for excellence or for perfection?
What benefit do I get from assuming that I’m the only one who can do it right, well, or perfectly?Do you feel superior to others?
Do you feel better than others?
Do you get to escape comparison-itis and compete with others instead?
What is costing you to believe that you’re the only one who can do it right, well, or perfectly?Does it keep you stuck in over-reliance on self?
