Episode Details

 You try to help, and somehow you become the enemy. You explain your feelings, and suddenly you're the one being blamed. These aren't random relationship failures — you're cycling through Karpman's Drama Triangle, and until you recognize the pattern, you'll keep fighting the same battles with different people. Psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair breaks down the three archetypal roles — Rescuer, Victim, and Persecutor — how they show up in the driven, compulsive personality, and five practical steps to step out of the triangle for good.
