How the Karpman Drama Triangle Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Step 1: Introduction & Overview
In this step, participants are introduced to the Karpman Drama Triangle and its roles. A facilitator presents the model, followed by group discussions where participants reflect on their experiences with these roles. Insights are shared to highlight common patterns.
2Step 2: Role-Playing the Drama Triangle
Participants engage in role-playing, where they act out scenarios as Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer. This activity allows them to experience each role's emotional dynamics. After initial role-plays, they switch roles to gain a deeper understanding of the motivations behind each position, followed by a group debrief.
3Step 3: Breaking Free from the Triangle
In this final step, participants learn healthier alternatives to the Drama Triangle roles. They practice switching to constructive roles in their scenarios, focusing on responsible and supportive interactions. A debrief follows to discuss the positive changes observed during the role plays.
