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?

EMPOWERMENT PROMPTS  Creator What outcome do I genuinely want — not just what I want to avoid? What is one step I could take toward that outcome this week? What would I create here if I knew I couldn't fail? How can I use this constraint as a design challenge?   Coach What question could I ask that helps them find their own answer? How do I support without solving — stay present without taking over? What strength does this person have that I can reflect back to them? What would it look like to hold space instead of fill it?   Challenger How can I name what I see without diminishing the other person? What is the growth edge I want to point toward, not just the problem? How do I challenge this person in a way that expresses belief in them? What truth needs to be spoken here — and how do I say it with care?
