Whether we know it, or not, most of us react to life as vic tims. When ever we refuse to take respon si bil ity for our selves, we are uncon sciously choos ing to react as vic tim. This inevitably cre ates feel ings of anger, fear, guilt or inad e quacy and leaves us feel ing betrayed, or taken advan tage of by others. Victim-hood can be defined by the three posi tions beau ti fully out lined in The. Drama Triangle” I refer to it as the vic tim tri an gle.I’ve some times referred to the vic tim tri an gle as a “shame gen er a tor” because through it we uncon sciously re-enact painful life themes that cre ate shame. This has the effect of rein forc ing old, painful beliefs that keep us stuck in a lim ited ver sion of reality. I believe that every dys func tional inter ac tion, in rela tion ship with other or self, takes place on the vic tim tri an gle. But until we become con scious of these dynam ics, we can not trans form them. And unless we trans form them, we can not move for ward on our jour ney towards re-claiming emo tional, men tal and spir i tual well-being.
