Triangulation in Narcissistic Relationships: Why They Use Other People to Control You

Have you ever felt like someone in your relationship constantly compares you to others, praises someone else in front of you, or makes you feel like you’re competing for their attention? This is called triangulation, and it’s one of the most powerful control tactics used in narcissistic relationships.

In this lesson, we explain how triangulation works like a playground swing, the narcissist pushes you up with praise one moment and pulls you down the next, while giving attention to someone else. This emotional manipulation keeps you feeling small, jealous, and stuck in a cycle of control.

But healing is possible. When you understand the pattern, you can begin to break free.

If you’re ready to reclaim your confidence, rebuild your identity, and learn practical tools to break the cycle of toxic relationships, join my live workshop where we go deeper into these patterns and how to overcome them.
