In this episode of Restoring Resilience with Chelsey Brooke Cole, we unpack how vulnerable narcissists (often called covert narcissists) slowly and strategically create self-doubt over time, without explosive arguments or obvious rage.

Unlike grandiose narcissists, vulnerable narcissists don't appear arrogant or dominant.

And that's exactly what makes the manipulation so confusing.

If this episode helped you put language to what you've been feeling, the confusion, the guilt, the erosion of self-trust, I want to invite you deeper.

📘 In my book If Only I'd Known, I walk through six different types of narcissists, including the vulnerable type, and guide you step-by-step through healing from narcissistic abuse, breaking the trauma bond, and rebuilding self-trust.
