Scott Perry explains the drama triangle, where people get stuck in victim, perpetrator, or savior roles. Victim roles create learned helplessness. Breaking the cycle means taking personal power and sharing it with others instead of playing rescuer.
Well, that speaks to Cartman's drama triangle. There's 3 people in any situation where there's a lot of drama going on. There's the victim, and we all play each of these roles at various times in our lives. But, you know, the victim for me is the most dangerous one. In order for there to be a victim, there has to be a perpetrator. There has to be some sort of villain. And then there's the savior, the person that comes in, swoops in, and rescues. Well, the victim is practicing learned helplessness when they blame the perpetrator for their situation and they're awaiting and expecting the savior to come in and rescue them. That's the, almost the definition of learned helplessness. If we get the victim out of the picture, if we see, step into, and stay in our power and share that power with other people, fewer victims in the world, which means there's fewer perpetrators and saviors.
