About this episode

This episode reveals a specific type of covert narcissism that is often overlooked and discusses its toxic effects in relationships.

There’s a specific type of narcissism that goes under the radar. It goes under the radar because it’s the opposite of what you think of when you think of narcissism. Overt narcissism is the most known type of narcissism where someone is the center of attention, extremely arrogant, and overpowering others. However one specific type of narcissism is even more toxic because it goes under the radar and surfaces when you are already deep into a relationship, partnership, or friendship. These people weaponize your fear over time to control, manipulate, and gaslight you. You may have a parent, family member, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend who is a covert narcissist and you may not know it. You know something isn’t right, their are red flags, but you don’t realize who and what you are actually dealing with. Listen to this thirty minute episode and get the knowledge you need to see the truth, recognize the signs, see the red flags honestly, and later within the podcast ways to safeguard yourself in the process.
