Past Life Regression Therapy and the Victim Triangle

The Victim Triangle   The Victim Triangle is a model of dysfunctional human interaction created by Stephen Karpan in the 1960s and is used specifically in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy.

Often this can take the form of anger, aggression, attack, criticism, judgment, shaming, and of course blaming.

But what if the source of our Victim consciousness and the feeling...
