Patient & Carer is the role play of the victim & the hero.
The hero is the one who rescues the victim from the villain that is their victimhood.
The victim & the villain is the dual reality drama of the intimidator & the poor me.
The hero is the one who makes a victim of the villain.
The carer’s role is to help the patient survive their victimhood.
The carer does not have a cure and does not know the cause.
Their reward is in meeting their own need to be needed.
A need to be needed drives the need to care for others.
The Carer is as much a victim of their need to be needed as the Patient is a victim of their need to be cared for.
Patient & Carer is a co-dependent relationship.
