What to Do If Your Parent Is a Covert Narcissist
About this episode
What happens when one of your parents is a covert narcissist? Behind their mask of charm and respectability lies a devastating truth that can destroy a child’s sense of self. In this video, Ross Rosenberg explains the unique dangers of covert narcissist parents, why they’re so hard to expose, and how their manipulation can leave lasting scars. These experiences often leave children questioning their reality and struggling with deep self-doubt well into adulthood. The damage may be invisible to outsiders, but for the child, it feels inescapable and overwhelming. Understanding these hidden patterns is the first step toward healing and breaking free from their grip.
