Triangulation: How Manipulators Use Other People to Control You

By Candice M Royer

There's always a third person. The ex who gets mentioned at exactly the wrong moment. The friend who always seems to agree with your partner. The parent whose opinion suddenly outweighs your own feelings about your own relationship.

This is triangulation, and once you learn to see it, you can't unsee it.

TRIANGULATION breaks down how manipulators use other people, real or implied, to create insecurity, force competition, and control the emotional temperature of a relationship without ever having to make a direct demand. You'll learn the six specific forms this tactic takes, why it works on a psychological level even when you know better, and what it costs you over time if it goes unnamed.

This book will help you recognize the pattern in your relationship, your family, or your workplace, understand why it produces such a specific kind of anxiety, and start rebuilding a sense of self that doesn't depend on winning a comparison you never agreed to be part of.

If you've ever felt like you were competing for a relationship you were already in, this book is for you.
