  • Intimacy Issues with a Covert Narcissist
    Dec 22 2024

    Today, I want to talk to you about a question that lingers in the hearts of so many: Why can’t I feel intimate with my partner? Let me assure you, you’re not alone in asking this. Intimacy, that deep connection we all crave, can feel impossible when you’re caught in the web of emotional abuse.

    Victims of covert abuse spend years wondering what is wrong with them.

    Why am I not more sexually attracted to my partner?

    We go to the doctor to learn what is wrong with us.

    We try medications and hormones. We try stress reduction and eating healthier.

    We try to just force our way through it.

    But nothing seems to work!

    This is because you are having a very normal reaction to a person that does not feel safe to you. A covert narcissist's impact on intimacy is profound and often heartbreaking. Intimacy requires trust, vulnerability, and emotional safety. These qualities are absent in relationships with covert narcissists.

    I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse.

  • Emotional Abuse Consumption: The 100% Impact of 10% Abuse
    Dec 15 2024

    Emotional abuse is often described as insidious, and for good reason. It doesn’t have to happen constantly to dominate your thoughts, emotions, and decisions. Even if the abuse only happens 10% of the time on a clock or calendar, the fear of it, the anticipation of it, and the recovery from it consumes your mind 100% of the time.

    You are constantly analyzing it, trying to figure out what went wrong, wondering what you could have done and so on. Let’s talk about why that is and what we can do to take back our mental and emotional space.

    I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse.
