Drama Triangle Prompts
Victim:
- What is one small thing I actually have control over right now?
- What story am I telling myself about why this can't change?
- If I believed I had options here, what might I try first?
- What would I tell a friend who described this situation to me?
Rescuer:
- Am I helping because they need it, or because I need to be needed?
- What would change if I trusted this person to solve this themselves?
- Whose problem is this really — and what is my actual part?
- How might my help be keeping someone stuck?
Villian:
- What am I actually afraid of in this situation?
- What evidence am I ignoring that this person is capable?
- What need of mine isn't being met — and how could I ask for it directly?
- What would it cost me to be curious instead of certain here?
