If I Weren’t Talking About Covert Narcissism… I’d Be Starting Fires in the Woods

In this episode of the Covert Narcissism Podcast, we take a much-needed breath of fresh air—literally and emotionally.

If I weren’t talking about covert narcissism every week, I’d be out in the woods learning survival skills: building fires, navigating with moss, and figuring out which berries won’t kill me. Why? Because sometimes, healing from covert narcissistic abuse means taking a step back to reconnect with who you are outside the trauma.

This episode is your invitation to pause the obsessive thoughts about the covert narcissist, stop decoding emotional abuse for just a moment, and remember what it feels like to simply be you.

We’ll explore:

• Why it’s essential to take breaks during narcissistic abuse recovery
• How constantly thinking about narcissism can keep you stuck
• What stepping back does for your nervous system, your identity, and your healing
• A fun peek into what I’d be doing if I weren’t talking about emotional abuse every week

Whether you’re deep in recovery or just beginning to recognize the signs of covert narcissism, this episode is a gentle reminder: you’re allowed to breathe, laugh, explore, and live.
