Narcissistic Triangulation

Narcissistic Triangulation is a control technique used by narcissists to keep victims in servitude and feeling shameful. The narcissist will bring in a third party into the relationship to add validity to their claims and create a sense of power where victims feel trapped to comply. Narcissists will use third party individuals, ideas, and doctrines in order to deliver deep hurtful messages without directly saying them. This allows for them to never be seen as the perpetrator yet keep them in servitude.
