    What happens when conflict between two people pulls a third person into the middle? In this episode of The Coach and the Counselors, DaMarcus Morton sits down with clinical mental health counselor and relationship coach Joseph Coston to explore triangulation—how bringing another person into a relationship dynamic can either provide healthy support or make the situation worse. They discuss the difference between healthy and unhealthy triangulation, the role of friends and family in relationship conflicts, and what happens when children become caught in the middle of adult problems. The conversation also explores enmeshment, parentification, people-pleasing, overachievement, and the family roles we can carry into adulthood.
