This chapter explores the concept of emotional triangles and their effect on relationships, highlighting the futility of attempting to change a relationship to which you don't belong. It provides insights on how triangles interlock and offers practical advice on dealing with them.
When we are uncomfortable with another, we often avoid dealing directly with that relationship by triangling a third person or issue. Understanding how triangles work and how to deal with them is essential to healthy functioning.
This is the audio of Chapter 4 on Triangles from my book, If You Met My Family, You'd Understand: A Family Systems Primer. You can find all 10 chapters of the book in Episodes 56-65 of this Podcast.
