The solution the Victim finds for their Persecutor.

A Rescuer doesn't need to be a person, just something to ease the Fear felt by the Victim caused by the Persecutor.

Rescuers show up in a few ways:

This role is defined through the prism of the Victim.

The Rescuer takes action based on Fear as well. They fear they will not be needed and seek action for a sense of purpose. [2]

“There are three ways a Rescuer can come in and complete the DDT. One, the Victim goes looking for a Rescuer and invites them into the drama. Second, someone intervenes to either take care of or fix the Victim, or goes after the Persecutor to protect the Victim. Then the third kind of Rescuer could be someone or some situation that the Victim hopes will emerge to, as you say, ‘save the day.’ (Location 873) #✂️

“And what’s more, the Rescuer takes actions based on fear, too, just like the Persecutor does. The Rescuer’s fear is that they will not be needed—so they seek out a Victim they can ‘help.’ This renews the Rescuer’s sense of purpose—to fix or protect or take care of the Victim. (Location 885) #✂️
