Скачать или смотреть Navigating the Confusion of Covert Narcissism: What Is Actually Wrong in My Marriage?

In this episode, Renee Swanson explores the complexities of covert narcissism in relationships, focusing on the emotional confusion and self-doubt that often arise from everyday interactions. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics without labeling or diagnosing partners, and encourages listeners to find their own language to articulate their experiences. The conversation highlights the challenges of naming the issues in relationships affected by covert narcissism and the journey towards healing and clarity.

In this kickoff episode, we explore:
Why confusion is often the first signal that something isn’t right
How everyday interactions can leave you feeling disoriented, tense, or questioning yourself
The difference between conflict that resolves and conflict that never truly ends
Why trying harder doesn’t bring relief when the problem isn’t communication
How your nervous system responds when emotional safety is inconsistent

This is the beginning of a guided journey through the confusing world of covert narcissism—one that organizes overwhelming information into something steady, digestible, and grounded in lived experience. Whether you’re just starting to sense that something is off, or you’ve been learning about this for years, this space is for you.

In the next episode, we’ll explore why this can feel so unfixable even when you’re still doing everything you can—and why that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
