The Narcissist’s Prayer Pt 2 (Special Throwback Episode)

The Narcissist’s Prayer Pt 2 (Special Throwback Episode)

This 2-part series on the Narcissist’s prayer serves a guide through the circular conversations and manipulative tactics of a covert narcissist. Each step expresses a ploy used by the covert narcissist to take the pressure off of them and put it onto you.
These tactics include gaslighting, denial, guilt manipulation, passive aggressiveness, blame shifting, victim playing, projecting and a complete unwillingness to have any give.
The covert narcissist might not use these exact words, but the attitudes are definitely conveyed.
•That didn't happen.
•And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
•And if it was, that's not a big deal.
•And if it is, that's not my fault.
•And if it was, I didn't mean it.
•And if I did, you deserved it.
They will absolutely blame you for what they did and use illogical arguments to persuade you. These are even delivered with such conviction that you will find yourself fooled. They will spin the direction of the arguments so quickly that you don’t even know what is going on. You are agreeing with them to keep the peace and don’t even know what you are agreeing to.
You are left utterly confused, while you are apologizing to them! For something…there’s a good chance you don’t even know for what.
Whether you leave or stay is up to you. But make the choice with your eyes open. Know your reality and trust your heart! I wish you so much peace on your journey of healing!

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