Rewiring Trust. Rebuilding Confidence. Reclaiming Your Life.
Spanning over 320 pages, this book isn’t fluff—it’s a full blueprint for emotional repair.
Coming Soon On Paperback, eBook, & Audiobook.
Covert Damage is a field manual for men recovering from emotional wounds that leave you doubting your worth, memory, and sense of self.
If you’ve ever been blamed for everything with someone who played victim while subtly destroying your confidence, you’re not crazy—and you’re not alone.
This book is for the men who gave everything and walked away hollow. It’s for the ones who were gaslit, manipulated, love-bombed, discarded, or constantly made to feel like the problem - when they were the one trying to hold it all together.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Unfiltered breakdowns of covert abuse, trauma bonds, gaslighting, and emotional chaos—told without sugarcoating
-
Clear, grounded language that actually makes sense—no therapy jargon or academic fluff
-
Short fiction vignettes that hit where it hurts (and help you realize you're not crazy)
-
Tactical exercises and prompts to help you rebuild your identity, rewire your patterns, and stop chasing pain
