Today, I want to talk to you about a question that lingers in the hearts of so many: Why can’t I feel intimate with my partner? Let me assure you, you’re not alone in asking this. Intimacy, that deep connection we all crave, can feel impossible when you’re caught in the web of emotional abuse.

Victims of covert abuse spend years wondering what is wrong with them.

Why am I not more sexually attracted to my partner?

We go to the doctor to learn what is wrong with us.

We try medications and hormones. We try stress reduction and eating healthier.

We try to just force our way through it.

But nothing seems to work!

This is because you are having a very normal reaction to a person that does not feel safe to you. A covert narcissist's impact on intimacy is profound and often heartbreaking. Intimacy requires trust, vulnerability, and emotional safety. These qualities  are absent in relationships with covert narcissists.

I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse.
