Covert narcissistic abuse is destroying lives in silence. Victims are gaslighted into doubting their own reality, making it one of the most dangerous forms of psychological manipulation.
-- Now, mental health advocate and author Amanda Bryant is exposing the truth in her debut book, Unmasking the Covert Narcissist—a vital guide for victims to recognize, escape, and heal from this invisible abuse.
A Vital Resource for Understanding and Overcoming Covert Narcissistic Abuse
Award-winning insurance professional, behavioral sciences graduate, and mental health advocate Amanda Bryant has announced the release of Unmasking the Covert Narcissist: A Handbook for Understanding, Breaking Free, and Thriving After Intimate Partner Abuse, a powerful new book that sheds light on one of the most insidious yet overlooked forms of psychological abuse. Drawing from her professional background and personal experiences, Bryant provides readers with the tools to recognize, validate, and heal from covert narcissistic abuse.
“Covert narcissists destroy their victims from the inside out. They make you question your own reality, eroding your self-worth while appearing caring to the outside world,” says Bryant. “Survivors deserve to have their experiences validated—and that’s why I wrote this book.”
Why Unmasking the Covert Narcissist Stands Out
Unlike overt narcissists, who display arrogance and entitlement openly, covert narcissists operate in subtle, manipulative ways that make their tactics harder to detect. Through psychological gaslighting, passive-aggressive behavior, and emotional exploitation, they erode their victims’ sense of reality and self-worth.
Many survivors don’t realize they’ve been abused until months or years later. Covert narcissists don’t scream or demand attention—they manipulate in silence. This book gives victims the clarity they need to finally break free.
Unmasking the Covert Narcissist:
• Is A First-of-Its-Kind Guide – Unlike most books on narcissistic abuse, Unmasking the Covert Narcissist focuses on the subtle, hard-to-detect manipulation tactics that keep survivors trapped.
• Exposes Hidden Psychological Warfare – Gaslighting, emotional withdrawal, and passive-aggressive attacks—this book explains how covert narcissists control their victims without ever raising their voice.
• Bridges the Knowledge Gap – With real-life survivor stories, expert psychological insights, and practical healing tools, this book finally gives a voice to victims of covert narcissistic abuse.
By combining personal insights with research-backed strategies, Bryant has created an essential guide for those struggling to identify and recover from covert narcissistic abuse.
Raising Awareness About an Overlooked Form of Narcissistic Abuse
Despite growing awareness of narcissistic personality disorder, covert narcissism remains widely misunderstood and underreported. While approximately 5% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), research suggests that up to 17% of people exhibit narcissistic traits without meeting full diagnostic criteria—many of whom engage in covert manipulation tactics.

Because covert narcissists operate through subtle gaslighting, passive-aggression, and emotional invalidation, many victims and survivors struggle to understand and articulate their experiences. Studies indicate that narcissistic abuse often causes symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression, yet covert abuse is frequently overlooked or dismissed. (Source: Psychology Today, NIH) This manipulation leaves survivors questioning their own reality, making it even harder to recognize and break free from the cycle of abuse.
Bryant’s book aims to bridge this gap by bringing awareness to the unique challenges survivors face. Through her advocacy and writing, she hopes to validate the experiences of victims while equipping them with the knowledge and strength to heal.
“Survivors often feel isolated and unheard,” Bryant explains. “By understanding the covert narcissist’s playbook, they can begin to break free from the cycle of abuse and reclaim their sense of self.”
A Trusted Voice in Mental Health and Recovery
Bryant’s background in behavioral sciences, crisis intervention, and counseling gives her a deeply personal and professional perspective on narcissistic abuse and trauma recovery. As a survivor of covert narcissistic abuse, she understands firsthand the psychological toll of manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional invalidation. Her book is written from a survivor’s perspective, offering not just clinical insights but also the validation, clarity, and empowerment that victims need to heal.
Her work is deeply informed by years of experience in both mental health advocacy and professional settings, allowing her to provide a nuanced and empathetic approach to healing. As an active voice in the online mental health community, Bryant shares insights, recovery tools, and survivor stories through her platforms, connecting with thousands of individuals who, like her, have endured covert narcissistic abuse.
