The podcast focuses on themes of addiction recovery, mindset shifts, and personal transformation, with episodes like 'Beyond Relapse: Finding Purpose After Addiction' exploring stories of individuals overcoming addiction and practical topics such as self-sabotage and cognitive reframing tools applicable for listeners in recovery.

Mental health is more than diagnosis. It’s understanding why we do what we do—and knowing what to do next.
On The Coach and the Counselors, Behavioral Science Coach DaMarcus Morton interviews Black therapists and mental health experts to make psychology accessible, practical, and relevant to everyday life. Every episode translates clinical knowledge into clear takeaways and actionable strategies you can apply long after the conversation ends.
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.
In this episode:
- What triangulation is and why it happens
- Healthy vs. unhealthy support
- When validation becomes co-signing
- How children can become caught in family conflict
- The long-term impact of childhood family roles
- How to recognize and break unhealthy patterns
- Practical ways to set healthier boundaries
Guest: Joseph Coston, Clinical Mental Health Counselor & Relationship Coach with Certifications in Child and Adolescent Psychology and Attachment Theory.
