Are you constantly second-guessing yourself in a relationship that once felt perfect? Do you find yourself apologising for things you didn’t do or trying harder just to keep the peace?

This episode dives deep into the covert, subtle, and often overlooked manipulation tactics narcissists use to control, confuse, and emotionally exhaust their victims.
From disguised insults and emotional withdrawal to rewriting history and passive-aggressive forgetfulness, narcissistic abuse isn’t always loud or obvious — and that’s exactly why it’s so dangerous. This episode explores specific narcissistic abuse tactics that are often mistaken for everyday relationship dynamics, including conditional affection, guilt-tripping, and sabotage masked as concern.
If you’ve ever felt like your reality is being distorted, your independence threatened, or your confidence slowly eroded, you may be dealing with covert narcissistic behaviour. We explore how narcissists weaponise your vulnerability, punish autonomy, and use “jokes,” comparisons, and passive-aggressive behaviours to chip away at your sense of self.
These manipulation tactics go far beyond classic gaslighting and love bombing — they are calculated forms of psychological control that leave long-lasting emotional scars. This episode is essential for anyone wanting to understand the complex and insidious nature of narcissistic relationships, emotional manipulation, and toxic abuse cycles.
If you've ever wondered why you feel off around someone — but can't quite put your finger on it — this deep dive into lesser-known narcissistic tactics will give you the clarity you’ve been searching for.
