Publisher's Summary

Covert narcissism is a hidden and concealed form of narcissism, making it all the more difficult for the abuser to be confronted or "outed" for their behavior. Covert narcissism is a passive-aggressive, hostile, and toxic form of abuse that makes victims feel hopeless, unheard, hurt, and confused by the abusers' behavior. 

When you think of a narcissistic personality, it's likely you think of a loud, grandiose, and "look at me" type of character. A lot of people don't realize that there is a much stealthier, more introverted form of narcissism, and therefore covert narcissists can often get away with their toxic behavior without being found out. 

I was in a relationship with a covert narcissist. I know the frustration, disappointment, anger, and humiliation a covert narc can make you feel. I understand the helplessness you feel when you're in a relationship that has such an invisible toxicity that you think no one would believe you if you told them about it. 

This audiobook, driven by my desire to help and connect with other victims of narcissistic abuse, aims to give you the knowledge you need to stand up to covert narcissistic abuse. The chapters include:

  • What Is a Covert Narcissist? 
  • The Six Giveaway Signs of a Covert Narcissist 
  • Can a Covert Narcissist Love? 
  • Confusing Conversations with a Covert Narcissist 
  • The Effects Covert Narcissism Has on You 
  • Setting Boundaries and Interacting with a Covert Narcissist 
  • Looking After You 
  • Ways to Leave a Vulnerable Narcissist 

I've been through a decade of narcissism and abuse, and I strive to support those who are or have been through this kind of emotional abuse. I hope this audiobook can someway in helping you understand the dynamics of a narcissistic relationship, but most of all, I hope it helps you find the strength to relinquish your role as a source of narcissistic supply to your abuser.

Trauma bonded

Very good listen, I saw my life in her words. My ex has moved on, though he tried to keep it hidden so he could play us both. She claims to have gotten out of a bad relationship which she needed counselling, but obviously she didn’t get very good counselling. She traded the devil for Satan. Now that I saw for my own eyes, it’s what I needed to move forward with my life and not allow his criticism to control me anymore though I get blamed for his need to date her, surprise, surprise. I’ve got a lot to work on but I’m starting.

Liberating

This book is an eye opener to abusive tacticts by a covert narcissist. I highly recommend reading it if you feel guilty leaving a long term relationship or friendship.
