Publisher's summary

The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist: Finding Healing After Hidden Emotional and Psychological Abuse is the most comprehensive and helpful audiobook on the topic of covert narcissism. This type of narcissism is one of the most damaging forms because the abuse is so hidden and so insidious. You can be in a relationship that can last for decades and not realize you are being psychologically and emotionally controlled, manipulated, and abused.

These people are well-liked; they are often the pillars of the community. Parents, spouses, bosses, and friends who are covert narcissists come across as the nicest people. They can be spiritual leaders, they are moms who bring over casseroles to needy people, they are the bosses who everyone loves and feels so lucky to work for.

These relationships are incredibly confusing and damaging. They leave you questioning your own sanity and reality. Even though they are treating you terribly, you wonder if you are the problem, if you are the one to blame. You are filled with constant self-doubt when it comes to these people in your life. When you are around them, you feel confused and muddled inside. You have a hard time seeing clearly.

These relationships can bring you to a state of deep depression and complete depletion of energy. You may wonder if you will ever see clearly and heal from these destructive and debilitating relationships.

This audiobook will give you hope that you can heal and feel alive again, or maybe for the first time. You will learn what the traits of a covert narcissist are, as well as how they control and manipulate. Your eyes will open, and your experience will be validated. You will also learn ways to heal and actually enjoy life again.

Debbie Mirza uses decades of her own experience with covert narcissists as well as her years of practice as a life coach who specializes in helping people recover and heal from these types of relationships.

Better than 100 visits to a therapist!

I came across this book by “chance” while reading another book on dealing with the pain of divorce. I always new my wife had narcissistic qualities, so I listened to the sample and what do you know!!! This book read like a manual to her behaviors, and validated all of the thoughts and pain I’d been feeling throughout our marriage. The clarity and validation this book provided me was PROFOUND! If you or anyone you know is in a relationship with someone that regularly flips the script “deflects” during an conversation, makes them feel loved one day and nothing the next, regularly gives the silent treatment but won’t tell you why, blames you for ALL relationship problems, or makes you feel like you are loosing mind, READ THIS BOOK. My wife left me suddenly for a “reason” that not only made no sense, but she proceeded to stop talking to me, send me hurtful emails one day, then tell me she still loved me the next, started dating someone within a couple weeks, and publicly declared her “happiness to start a new era”, all while I laid in a dark depression that left me unable to work or function for a month. This book was huge part of the recovery process. Thank you Debbie Mirza!

Life changing

I was never able to put my finger on exactly what was happening to me over 20 years of marriage to my best friend. Over 15 years, my life force was stripped away, my body told me something was wrong, I was called names that were horrible and clearly not true, it was projection. This book is my story. I am a smart, loving, empathetic, sweet self reflective person. I was emotionally abused for years. I am now a survivor. I deserve more. I am now sharing my story with family and friends and it is so powerful. I am no longer a silent victim, I will be Brave and Amazing and Be ME.

Profound enlightenment

This book explained so much about my relationships that started with my mother and continued with most of my relationships my whole life. Now that the lights are on and I can see clearly, I can stop doubting myself and stop allowing this type of relationship to control, not only me, but my happiness. For me, this has been the most life-changing book I have ever read.

Truly what I needed

This book explains everything I could never put into words and settles so much self doubt. AMAZING READ!!! The situations outlined in the book mirror my life married to a covert narcissist so well it makes my stomach turn and settles it at the same time! I cant explain how grateful I am to have this book.
