In this episode, I share a clip from my conversation on Trusting After Trauma: Redefining Relationships After Parental Narcissistic Abuse, hosted by Pi Venus Winslow. In this segment, we explore the complexities of covert narcissism and its impact on individuals who grew up with narcissistic parents. We discuss the subtle yet profound effects of covert narcissistic parenting, the importance of mentalization in understanding one's feelings, and the challenges of setting boundaries.
