"Covert narcissists don’t need to be loud to control you—they do it quietly, strategically, and with devastating impact."

In this revealing episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I expose the manipulative tactics covert narcissists use to isolate their victims and keep them emotionally, mentally, and physically dependent. Unlike overt narcissists, covert narcissists operate in the shadows, using subtle strategies that are hard to recognise but incredibly effective.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How smear campaigns are used to turn your loved ones against you, making you appear untrustworthy or unstable

The emotional blackmail of guilt and obligation traps, designed to make you feel responsible for their well-being

How covert narcissists create constant crisis to drain your energy and prevent you from forming healthy relationships outside of them

If you’ve ever felt your world closing in around you, this episode will help you recognise narcissistic isolation and give you the tools to reclaim your independence. With real-life examples from my counselling practice, you’ll gain clarity, practical strategies, and empowerment to break free from these toxic dynamics.
