Ep. 104 Triangulation: The Invisible People Ruining Your Relationship (And How to Spot Them)


Listen Later

Triangulation is one of the most disorienting tactics in toxic and narcissistic dynamics. It turns simple conversations into three-way dramas, pulls “invisible people” into your relationship, and leaves you defending yourself against stories you never heard. This episode breaks down how triangulation actually works, why manipulators rely on it, and what you can do to reclaim clarity and control.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why triangulation is never accidental
  • How manipulators use third parties, selective storytelling, and engineered confusion to maintain control.
  • The real purpose behind bringing “someone else” into your conflict
  • You’ll hear how triangulation filters the truth, reshapes narratives, and keeps you on the defensive.
  • The quiet erosion of your support system
  • How triangulation turns friends and family into sources of doubt and distance, and why isolation is the endgame.
  • Subtle signs you’re being triangulated
  • From shifting stories to “he said / she said” dynamics to the sudden tension in your close relationships.


If you’ve ever felt like you were fighting rumors you never heard, competing with people you never met, or explaining yourself to audiences you didn’t know existed, this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
