The Covert Narcissism Podcast

More Truths from My Therapist That Rewired My Trauma Brain, Part Two


Listen Later

Welcome to Part Two of Things My Therapist Said That Deserve to Be on T-Shirts. We’re continuing the conversation with five more transformative truths that cut through confusion, emotional manipulation, and internalized blame—especially for anyone navigating covert narcissistic abuse.

These one-liners don’t just help you name what’s been happening—they help you stop second-guessing yourself and start reclaiming your peace. Whether you're living with a covert narcissist, healing after a painful breakup, or just trying to trust your gut again, this episode is packed with insight, validation, and practical trauma recovery tools.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

  • “If they only treat you well when you’re useful, it’s not kindness. It’s convenience.” — identifying narcissistic behavior masked as affection
  • “Of course you're exhausted. You're carrying emotional loads that aren’t yours.” — the invisible weight of narcissistic abuse
  • “Peace isn’t boring. You’re just addicted to chaos.” — learning to tolerate emotional safety again
  • “Gaslighting isn’t an argument. It’s a control tactic.” — naming the real dynamic of covert narcissistic manipulation
  • “Your gut knew before your brain was ready.” — reconnecting with your intuition after emotional abuse
  • Each segment is a reminder that you’re not overreacting—you’re responding to a situation that was never safe to begin with. Your gut instinct was right. Your feelings are valid. And your healing doesn’t need their permission.
