  • Self-Care After Dealing with Covert Narcissism

    Self-Care After Dealing with Covert Narcissism
    Jun 13 2024
    When you’ve been living with a covert narcissist for many years, your self-care is almost non-existent. You don’t have the time, energy, mental capacity, or freedom to take care of yourself. Any efforts at self-care may have been labeled as selfish. Over the years, you've paid a high price for trying to even do the bare minimum of caring for yourself. It just isn't worth the price. Robbing you of the right to care for yourself is abuse! No one should ever have the right to take that away from you. Self-care is a beautiful part of life. In this episode, Eleanor Marks and Renee Swanson explore ways to reclaim that self-care. Tiny steps forward are momentous. Celebrate these.

  • What Covert Narcissists Say and What They Actually Mean

    What Covert Narcissists Say and What They Actually Mean
    Jun 9 2024
    "I love you" does not mean the same thing coming out of a covert narcissist as it does when you say it. For non-narcissistic people, "I love you" means I care about your thoughts and feelings. I love when you are happy, peaceful and relaxed. I want what is best for you. I care about you. For a covert narcissist, "I love you" is not quite the same. For them, it means I love how YOU make ME feel. I love what you do for ME. I love the attention that you give ME. I love it when you are happy with ME. I care about your thoughts and feelings about ME. I want what is best for you, and it is 100 percent ME. When talking with a covert narcissist, they are absolutely using a different language than we are.

  • What is Cognitive Dissonance and What to do About it (Special Throwback Episode)

    What is Cognitive Dissonance and What to do About it (Special Throwback Episode)
    Jun 6 2024

    Survivors of covert narcissistic abuse feel like they are going crazy. They often tell me that they are losing their mind. They don’t know which end is up, what reality is or what to do next. They are often frozen in self-doubt and confusion.

    This is because of cognitive dissonance. In this episode, I am going to help you understand what cognitive dissonance is, why it happens, and what to do about it.

    Cognitive dissonance is when a single individual holds conflicting attitudes or beliefs within themselves. This goes hand in hand with living with a covert narcissist. It creates that fog that you hear so many talk about. Coming out of the fog is coming out of the cognitive dissonance.

    You have forgotten what life is supposed to feel like. You have forgotten how to relax and enjoy the beauty of life. You have forgotten what it feels like to be you! It is time to remind yourself!!

    I wish you much peace on your journey of healing!

The audio Bible of covert narcissism

Wow, I can’t say enough about this podcast. As someone who has been married to a covert narc for 16 years Renee Swanson covers all the bases and checks all the boxes on CN. I had my doubts if my wife was really a CN but after listening to a few episodes I’m as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow that this is exactly what I’m dealing with. So accurate it’s scary.

Enlightening!

This entire podcast has opened my eyes and changed my perspective on what I thought was just a normal way of living, despite feeling and knowing that something wasn't right. thank you Renee Swanson for being vulnerable and open about your life so that the FOG could be lifted from my eyes. May God continually bless you for what you are doing.
