Integrating ACT, Schemas, and Non-Violent Communication to Treat Victims of Narcissistic Abuse

Learn how to identify and diagnose when covert abuse is hidden.

Narcissistic abuse is often easier to recognize and diagnose when the individual who has narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is an overt/grandiose narcissist because these behaviors and strategies are overt, blatant, and more obvious to observe. But when you’re dealing with a covert/vulnerable narcissist it becomes much more challenging to recognize and identify the abuse because the strategies that the covert narcissist uses are much more insidious and subtle.

Covert abuse is hidden, it utilizes a calculating approach to target people secretly and create divisions in order to maintain control. Strategies of covert abuse include gaslighting, triangulation, guilt, confusion, denial, accusations, threats, and reverse victim offender.
