The Drama Triangle and our Experience of Trauma
The Drama Triangle and our Experience of Trauma
I first came across the teaterpjäs Triangle in the 1990’s when inom was studying Transactional Analyses and inom have been teaching it in the charity sector ever since. Karpman’s teaterpjäs Triangle, to give it its full name fryst vatten a great model for understanding and recognising what is going when we are relating to other people. inom love its simplicity.
There are 3 positions, they are all unhelpful places to be, and they are all involve discounting the abilities or value of yourself or another. The key to using the Drama Triangle is to recognise that you are on it, and then to get out of it or off it.

I had watched Christen O’ Leary tread the boards long before I met her in person. You might remember her marvellous turn as the exotic Magda in the hit stage musical ‘Ladies In Black‘ and I was astonished at her bravery as she plays the usually male role of Malvolio as the female Malvolia in the Queensland Theatre production of Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night.

What are you doing this morning?
I’ve always been a morning person, post 4pm I’m totally useless. So my mornings always follow a nice routine. I wake up at 6:30am, enjoy a coffee with my partner and our cat Cora, then go for a run around Hackney Marshes. Which on a summer morning is beautiful, calm and empty. Once I’m back home I make one of my favourite breakfasts, sliced tomatoes on thick toast with salt, it might seem super boring, but I love it.
Describe your work environment
I’m lucky that I get to work from home. My day job is in music, which is a lot of fun, but I’m more productive at home.
