Ever wondered if someone close to you might be a covert narcissist? In this episode of The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast, Caroline Strawson breaks down the elusive traits of covert narcissists.

Caroline shares ten signs to help you identify these hidden narcissists, whether they're in your romantic relationships, friendships, or family.
From extreme sensitivity to criticism and passive-aggressive behaviour to faking empathy, you'll gain insights into the subtle ways covert narcissists operate. Caroline draws from her personal experience with her ex-husband and her professional expertise as a trauma therapist to offer practical advice and support. If you've ever felt confused by someone's manipulative yet modest behaviour, this episode will be an eye-opener. Don't miss out on understanding how to protect yourself from these hidden manipulators.
