Relating to a Narcissist can be a traumatic experience. Today we take a deeper dive into understanding what you may experience when you find yourself in a relationship with a Covert Narcissist. My guest, Life Coach Paige Harris, joins the discussion again and helps us understand terms like “deflection”, “relationship vs. partnership” and “the antagonized you”.
