Triangulation is a manipulative tactic used by toxic people to draw attention, distract, and cover just like a pair of obnoxious Bermuda shorts.  Gwen tells about how she's gotten sucked into this triangle and provides a map of how to get out.  Gwen shares in her tale several examples of triangulation from NIhm's emails which always prove to be entertaining (although so typical of a narcissist).  She delves into two types of triangulation by a narc: the golden child/scapegoat and third entity.  She mentions the Enneagram as a helpful tool to heal and understand your own attachment patterns.  Take a quiz on Enneagram Coach, Enneagram Institute or read about it online. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
