The drama triangle and games
Developing into an adult ego state
Understanding the rescuer
Key Takeaways
Transactional analysis is a theory of personality and methods for managing both our own behavior and that of others. A personality is a collection of patterns of behavior that are recurring enough that a person can be known by those patterns of behavior which includes thoughts, feelings, actions
There’s three roles in a drama triangle: the rescuer, the victim, and the persecutor. Being in a drama triangle becomes especially dysfunctional when a person is in a trap or in a game where they switch roles back and forth.
Developing into an adult ego state means identifying patterns that you’ve acquired growing up, authenticating them or ruling out things that are not useful, relevant, or accurate anymore.
People are complex, rescuers spend a percentage of their energy both in the victim and persecutor role. It’s important to understand that when they are rescuing, there’s an injury they’re trying to get fixed and a part of them is unhappy with themselves and other people.
“I help people recognize the pattern that is rescuing, help them recognize that in themselves and teach them to use a different ego state - for instance, one that has compassion but also sets firm limits.”— Wayne Hart
