Drama triangle
Stephen Karpman
You want out of a fight that keeps changing costumes. The problem is you think you are in a new scene. You are in a triangle: victim, persecutor, rescuer. Name the corner. Stay unnamed and you will rotate until you are tired. Name it and you can step off — which is the only move that is not another corner.

Victim
Rescuer
Hover or tap a piece.
In one line
In the moment the fear picks a corner: victim, persecutor, or rescuer. Switch corners if you want — you have not left the triangle.
Use this on a moment. It answers: What are you afraid of?

The triangle is the fear in ninety seconds. The horsemen are that fear after it has a room.
