A deep dive into one of the most insidious forms of emotional manipulation in abusive relationships: the covert contract. It’s the hidden agreement you never signed — but you’re still bound by it.
You’ll learn:
- How a predator spots your vulnerability (moving country, grief, childhood trauma) and uses dark empathy to hook you.
- What the bait-and-switch really looks like: the false promise, the shimmering future, the gradual “don’t be” message.
- Why the most difficult part of recovery from narcissistic abuse is unraveling that unspoken contract and reclaiming your identity.
- Practical steps you can start today to break free: recognising the simulation, re-establishing your boundaries, rediscovering you.
If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself in a relationship, or like something invisible was keeping you trapped, this is for you.
