Everyone knows how to spot the loud, self-centered narcissist. It’s the charming one — the helper, the listener, the one everyone adores — who causes the most damage. Dr. Valerie Sussman knows this firsthand. After 20 years in a covert narcissistic marriage, this retired pediatrician became a certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist dedicated to exposing what she calls the most dangerous predator hiding in plain sight.
In interviews, Sussman will reveal how covert narcissists use kindness as a weapon, why victims routinely doubt their own reality, and how to spot the warning signs before the damage is done. Drawing from her book Love, Lies, and Narcissists in Disguise: The A-Z Guide for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, she offers survivors a path from confusion to clarity — and from self-doubt to self-trust.
