Triangulation is a manipulation tactic commonly used by to assert power and control in the context of the narcissistic abuse cycle.
Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic abuse is a pattern of psychological manipulation and subtype of coercive control by individuals with narcissistic personality traits or narcissistic personality disorder.
It encompasses love-bombing, gaslighting, intermittent reinforcement, devaluation, financial exploitation, isolation, and discard — a cycle that is specifically designed to erode the target’s self-assessment, epistemic trust, and capacity for autonomous judgment.
Narcissistic Abuse Rehab was founded in 2019 by trauma recovery coach Manya Wakefield to provide evidence-based resources and one-to-one coaching for survivors. The site’s resources draw on the clinical literature of Evan Stark, Judith Herman, Bessel van der Kolk, and Craig Malkin, among others, and has been featured in Newsweek, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and HuffPost.
