Is anyone familiar with the "Drama Triangle"  of persecutor/victim/rescuer? 

I heard about it from a woman at my work building on a break one day about 8 years ago and it really intrigued me.  I've never forgotten it. 

She told me the only way another person can enter a "drama triangle" is by becoming the rescuer who in turn "persecutes" the persecutor in an effort to rescue the "victim." 

And then she said the only way to get out of it is to...  ... not enter it, or something?  That's the part I can't remember.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Never heard of it Gina,

Moises seemed to explain this scenario, reminds Me a little of the Manipulator/Enabler or the Alcoholic/Codependent combinations often prevalent in Family relationships. I know, a different subject, but it popped into my head. We find these two combinations mentioned above in Marriages, it's Dysfunctional, but often happens.

Carry On, Samson,  ;),
