So if we think about that, if we think about a relationship with, say, with drugs and alcohol, we might say that the expected thing is that someone can go out for a drink, they can have two drinks and then they can go home.
Ever wondered how your relationships might be affecting your recovery journey? In this episode of '12 Step Recovery Evolution', Rehab Director Lester Morse brings together former clients, peers, and staff to unpack the complexities of unhealthy relationships. They dive into the Drama Triangle, a psychological model that outlines the roles of persecutor, rescuer, and victim. During the COVID-19 crisis, these daily online support sessions became a lifeline for many, offering both education and community.
Through candid discussions and personal reflections, listeners gain valuable insights into how self-esteem and parent-child dynamics play into these roles. One participant shares, 'It's a very lonely place...in a weird way, I think that's why I do tend to stay in the victim role...because it...keeps the persecutors coming in, then, don't they?' This episode isn't just about identifying these roles; it's about breaking free from them.
Morse and his guests offer practical advice on fostering healthier relationships and recognizing the signs of dysfunction. They emphasize that recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about understanding what makes a relationship healthy. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of your own relationship patterns and learn how to work towards self-love and healthier connections.
