We've talked previously about the problem cycle (see episode #69), but recently learned about the 3 poisons in Buddhism and they seem particularly applicable to some of the issues we see in divorce and co-parenting. 

In his early teachings, the Buddha identified “three poisons” or three negative qualities of the mind that cause most of our problems—and most of the problems in the world. 

  1. Attachment: we want to attract and hold on to what is good for us (also called greed or lust).
  2. Aversion: we want to repel what is bad for us (also called aggression or anger).
  3. Ignorance: we are indifferent to what doesn’t affect us personally (also called delusion).  


So in this week's episode, Tracy and Debra are going to see if we can’t use some of this ancient wisdom to gain insight into shifting clients out of the problem cycle or suffering, into a mindset more grounded in acceptance and action. 

Listen in as we discuss how these 3 poisons show up in divorce and ways to apply the antidotes.
