How Labeling, Roles & Alliances Affect Our Relationships

The Love Psychologist: Transforming Your Relationships from the Inside-Out

This podcast episode explores:

-How roles limit the way we can see the other person fully

-How the labels you ascribe to a person causes you to miss other viewpoints

-how alliances are special relationships in a family or system that have an agenda or an underlying issue

-How triangulation can occur as one reason for an alliance and why this occurs

-How a person may present as the ticket of admission with a problem but there is really another underlying issue with someone else in the family that it's masking

-how genograms can be used as a tool to look at how issues or patterns repeat in different generations of a family. It can raise consciousness about patterns so you can break them.

-How to deal directly with the family member you have a conflict with, instead of gossiping or communicating through a third party.

-Why parents need to be the architects of the family. They need a shared vision and agreement so the kids or family members can't split them. They also should be on the same page regarding parenting and consequences.
