How Do We Raise Kids with a Covert Narcissist?

<p>Anyone who is here listening to this podcast is dealing with an emotionally unavailable person. A person who does not have clearly defined boundaries nor honor your clearly defined boundaries. A person who is not emotionally safe for spontaneous and easy interactions.</p> <p>In all these podcast episodes, I talk through many characteristics of a covert narcissist. If I had to briefly define a covert narcissist, it is a person who is psychologically and emotionally unsafe and damaging to those closest to them in ways that are subtle, passive aggressive, and not perceived from the outside.</p> <p>Think about that definition for a minute. Psychologically and emotionally unsafe and damaging to those closest to them and not visible to the outside world. Now make them a parent to a child. Born completely vulnerable and unprotected. At the complete mercy of their parents’ care. In need of all care begin provided for them - physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically. This situation is incredibly difficult and painful. I address it in this episode.</p> <p>If you want my book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Toxic-Partner-Helping-Emotional/dp/1799170446/ref=sr_1_1?crid=AULHBA1P02PD&amp;keywords=renee+swanson&amp;qid=1659293080&amp;sprefix=renee+swanson%2Caps%2C96&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Parenting with a Toxic Partner</a>, it is available on Amazon.</p> <p>For more information on my group coaching sessions, visit <a href="https://www.covertnarcissism.com/group-session" target="_blank">www.covertnarcissism.com/group-session</a></p> <p>Or email me at renee@cnglifecoaching.com</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/covertnarcissism/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/covertnarcissism/support</a>
