3 Ways to Avoid The Narcissist's Triangulation Trap by Lise Leblanc

Narcissists often use triangulation to control people and situations in order to advance their interests. By keeping everyone in their circle emotionally off-balance, insecure, and in competition, the narcissist can control the narrative and get everyone to compete for their approval in order to avoid rejection and further abuse. In this video, I explain what triangulation is, provide real-life examples, talk about 7 reasons why narcissists triangulate, and provide 3 practical tips on how to handle this toxic manipulation tactic.
