No Drama

Lots of people love playing the victim.

"I can't."

"It's too hard."

"It's not my fault."

"If only..."

What's worse, though, are people playing the hero.

"I know, it's hard."

"Poor you."

"Here, let me do it for you."

The hero gets to feel good about themselves because they're helping the poor victim.

They get to forget their own pain for a minute, while they caretake someone else.

But there's a cost to this.

The victim stays a victim.

Instead of saying something empowering

like "I know it's hard, but you can do this"

or "I know this bad thing happened, but what are you going to do next?"

They say or do something that reinforces the victim position.

Don't be a hero.

Be a coach.

Be someone that helps grow people.

I totally agree, and I am looking at your platform to give me a place to offer and teach the solutions to the Drama Triangle of Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor. I call the answer Empowered Surrender Triangle, Letting Go, Trust, and Faith leads to Empowered Surrendering. Thank you for this post!
