  Triangulation: Episode 238

  Oct 1, 202624 min

  Episode 238: The Hidden Cost of Triangulation Triangulation happens when we manage tension with one person by recruiting a third. It brings short-term relief, but it often leaves the original relationship unresolved or worse. The hosts explain why physicians are especially prone to it, how to tell a helpful "bridge" from an unhelpful "alliance," and how to step out of a triangle by asking, "Have I said this to the person I'm saying it about?"

  Emotional Inhibition & Deprivation (Schema Part 4): Episode 231

  Aug 13, 202623 min

  In this episode, we continue our series on early maladaptive schemas in physicians, this time exploring emotional inhibition and emotional deprivation, the schemas behind the "I'm fine" doctor who looks composed but feels numb, lonely, or disconnected underneath. In this episode: What emotional inhibition and emotional deprivation actually mean, and how they combine to create the physician who "needs nothing" Why emotional inhibition isn't the same as healthy emotional regulation How these schemas form in childhood, and how medical training reinforces them What emotional inhibition and deprivation look like in daily physician life (jokes instead of truth, discomfort with compliments, feeling alone in a crowded hospital) Four steps toward healing: noticing your feelings, separating privacy from secrecy, practicing "tolerable honesty," and strengthening the healthy adult voice A real case example of holding grief through a difficult pediatric loss This week's reflection prompt: where are you saying "I'm fine" when you're not? Next episode: Defectiveness, shame, and approval-seeking, the schemas behind physician imposter syndrome.
