Complex PTSD and Covert Narcissistic Abuse

Complex PTSD and Covert Narcissistic Abuse

I had heard of PTSD, but what is this C-PTSD? What’s the C stand for? What’s the difference between the two? Is it just another form of PTSD?

The C stands for Complex. Well, that’s no joke. I’m going to tell you right now that everything about a relationship with a covert narcissist is complex.

Choosing a restaurant is complex.

Surviving the meal at the restaurant is complex.

Hanging pictures in the house is complex.

Borrowing a pen from them is complex.

Asking them to pick something up from the store is complex.

Going out with your own friend or even family member is complex.

Everything! So what is this complex PTSD? Is it created just for the victims of covert narcissism? Maybe. It sure seems to fit.

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

  • Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone?
  • Are you searching for people who get it?
  • Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do?
  • Are you running in circles in your mind?
  • Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them?
  • Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world?

I can help you! I offer both group and individual coaching, which you can find at www.covertnarcissism.com
