Breaking the Chains of Narcissistic Triangulation
The first step is just realizing that you've been triangulated in and controlled and in many ways you've been manipulated on every level and used for the agenda of the narcissist and really to make themselves feel better and to puff their own aggrandized gigantic ego up so they can feel better about their worthlessness.
Ever felt like you're constantly being pitted against someone else in your relationship? This episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast' dives deep into the unsettling tactic of narcissistic triangulation. Hosted by Yitz Epstein, a seasoned life coach specializing in narcissistic abuse, the episode sheds light on how narcissists manipulate their victims by introducing a third party into the relationship.
This third party could be a person, an idea, or even a doctrine, used to validate the narcissist's claims and keep their victims feeling powerless and ashamed. Yitz explains how this tactic allows narcissists to deliver hurtful messages indirectly, maintaining their image while keeping control over their victims. He shares real-life examples, like a parent using a child to send a damaging message to their partner, illustrating the emotional turmoil it causes.
The episode also explores the psychological impact on victims, such as pervasive self-doubt and a constant need to prove themselves. Yitz doesn't just leave listeners with the problem; he offers practical healing techniques and emphasizes the importance of seeking support and therapy. If you've ever felt trapped in a relationship where you're always being compared or made to feel less than, this episode provides valuable insights and steps towards reclaiming your sense of self.
