Behind the covert narcissist’s charm lies a psychological battlefield the empath can feel long before they understand it.

This episode breaks down the manipulation tactics covert narcissists use…gaslighting, triangulation, intermittent reinforcement, and the silent treatment… and explains how these behaviors impact an empath’s nervous system and intuition.

Listener, YOU may gain insight into the emotional abuse cycle, the spiritual tension between truth and illusion, and the empath’s growing awareness of the narcissist’s hidden motives.

Perfect for those of you searching for signs of covert narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation tactics, and how empaths experience psychological warfare.

This is the moment the empath begins to see the cracks in the narcissist’s mask…. Or rather show the covert narcissist just how visible the cracks in their mask are.

You’ve seen the bully on the playground haven’t you? Yes, that one who acts all sweet, innocent and loving in front of their mommy and daddy and the teacher (in public), the perfect performer….. deserves an Emmy…or an Oscar!

Brazen!

Yet, when no one of any real significance is looking….the masquerade ends… the pretend stops…and the truth creeps up like an old poison ivy rash that even calamine lotion cannot soothe. Mommy and daddy know the cause and yet dare not reproach for fear of exposure of the root cause.

And so the covert narcissist is free to roam the land from see to sea…. Seeking whom it can devour…. Until they meet the one…. Who sees them from miles away…. As if waiting for 1,000 years to relieve them of their burden…. The awkwardness….and find better level of self respect……instead of shamelessness and reckless abandon…..

Thank you for listening.
