Have any of you ever realized that you're dealing with a drama triangle
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle> in your communities?
(We seem to be stuck in one, and I just learned about this model.)

[image: (point down triangle with corners labeled:"Persecutor - Rescuer - 
Victim]

And have any of you learned about and applied its antidote, The Empowerment
Dynamic <https://theempowermentdynamic.com/about/> (TED), or a similar
solution in your community? (The victim transitions to the role creator,
persecutor transitions to challenger, rescuer to coach.)

"Creator - Challenger - Coach" ]

I am tempted to start a TED book club
