Why Forgiving and Forgetting Doesn’t Erase the Pain of Covert Narcissism
Many of us have been taught to focus on the good—to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable and to not judge. These are not bad lessons to live by, but do they apply to our spouse in a toxic relationship? Or are we unintentionally ignoring red flags in covert narcissistic abuse?
In this episode, we explore:
🔹 How focusing only on the good enables covert narcissistic behavior
🔹 The confusion and emotional turmoil of benefiting from the good while suffering from the bad
🔹 How your self-reflection gets used against you
🔹 How cognitive empathy (not real empathy) is used as a tool by covert narcissists
🔹 Why ignoring the bad doesn’t make it disappear—and what to do instead
If you’ve ever struggled with forgiving and forgetting, convincing yourself to focus on the good while ignoring the damage, working extra hard to not judge, this episode is for YOU. It will give you clarity and validation.
