Summary

We are giving you the Best of AOU, a short series giving you our most popular episodes to date! Today, we revisit a discussion about the power of Triangulation in families. Triangulation is partially defined as one person (often unconsciously) involving a third person to ease tension, gain support, or manipulate a situation. Triangulation can occur in various relationships, such as among family members, friends, colleagues, marriage, or romantic relationships. Triangulation can lead to increased conflict, misunderstanding, and strained relationships, as it often involves communication breakdowns and misinterpretations between the parties involved.
