Dans un épisode précédent de Maintenant vous savez, nous vous parlions des pervers narcissiques, ces personnalités à tendance manipulatrices. Elles infligent tout un tas de comportements toxiques à leur cible et se placent dans le rôle de victime.

Karen Read's Flying Monkeys: Did Narcissism Shape Her Shocking Defense Strategy? In this gripping podcast episode, we dive deep into the controversial Karen Read case, exploring how documented behaviors align strikingly with psychological definitions of narcissistic personality traits. After the tragic death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, Karen Read's initial recorded admissions shifted dramatically into claims of innocence and accusations of police conspiracy.

We'll also examine the pivotal role of public influencer, who aggressively promoted Karen Read's narrative, resulting in criminal allegations of witness intimidation and harassment. Learn how this phenomenon, known in psychology as "flying monkeys," mobilized supporters online and offline, dramatically altering public perception and significantly complicating the judicial process. Our analysis relies strictly on official court records, documented media appearances, and verified public statements, providing you with a clear, factual look at one of Massachusetts' most debated criminal trials.

Understand how these documented strategies led to juror confusion, mistrials, and a fractured community deeply uncertain about trust in local authorities.

Have you ever lashed out in frustration after relentless emotional torment, only to be told you are the problem? That is reactive abuse, and it is not the same as the calculated, intentional cruelty of narcissistic abuse. They push you until you break—then call you the abuser.

Once they get a reaction, they weaponise it—telling others you are unstable, you are the abuser. It is a classic blame-shifting strategy designed to discredit you and keep you trapped in self-doubt and shame.We break down:What reactive abuse really is—and why it is not actual abuseWhy narcissists provoke reactions—and how they use your response against youHow to break free from their manipulation—so you stop playing their gameOvercoming self-blame—so you can reclaim your truth and healLosing control after endless provocation does not make you the abuser.If you have ever questioned yourself after a toxic argument, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and strategies to stay in control.If this episode resonated with you, please rate and review—it helps others find this podcast.

Being discarded by a narcissist feels brutal—like you never mattered. One moment, you're their everything. The next, you're replaced, ignored, or worse—mocked.

What Happens When a Narcissist Can't Control You Anymore?Have you ever wondered what happens when a narcissist loses control over you? The moment you break free from their grip, their true nature is fully exposed. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys I dive deep into the chaotic, desperate, and often dangerous behaviours narcissists display when they can no longer manipulate their victims.Narcissists thrive on control—whether in romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or even the workplace. When their power slips away, they resort to extreme tactics to regain dominance. You might face smear campaigns, relentless hoovering, guilt-tripping, or even outright rage. Some narcissists will play the victim, trying to make you doubt yourself. Others will spread lies, turning mutual friends and family against you to maintain their illusion of superiority.But here's the truth: their reaction isn't about love, regret, or missing you—it's about losing control. I break down the psychological warfare narcissists use post-breakup, helping you understand their mindset and, more importantly, how to protect yourself. Whether you're going no contact, setting firm boundaries, or recovering from their manipulation, this episode will give you the insight and validation you need to stand strong.If you've ever felt trapped in a toxic relationship, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to stay empowered, avoid being reeled back in, and finally reclaim your freedom. Don't let a narcissist dictate your life—take back your power today!Subscribe to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys for more expert insights on narcissistic abuse, healing, and recovery.

Narcissists Use Sex as a Weapon to Control YouSex should be a source of connection, intimacy, and mutual pleasure—but in a relationship with a narcissist, it often becomes a tool for control, manipulation, and emotional abuse. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I explore how narcissists weaponise sex to dominate their partners, leaving them confused, emotionally starved, and desperate for validation.Narcissists use sex in different ways depending on their agenda. In the beginning, they may shower you with intense passion, making you feel like the most desired person in the world. This "love bombing" stage creates an addictive high, making you crave their attention and approval. But once they've secured your emotional investment, everything changes. They start withholding affection, making you feel unattractive or unworthy. You may find yourself begging for intimacy, wondering what you did wrong. This is a classic tactic to destabilise you and keep you seeking their validation.Some narcissists use sex to punish and control. They may demand it constantly, disregarding your comfort, emotions, or physical boundaries. Others withhold it entirely, using rejection as a way to make you feel unlovable. They may compare you to others, accuse you of being inadequate, or even engage in affairs to make you feel replaceable. These strategies keep you walking on eggshells, desperate to please them and regain their attention.In this episode, I also discuss how narcissists exploit sex to reinforce trauma bonds, making it even harder for victims to leave. The intense cycles of pleasure and rejection create deep emotional hooks, making you feel like you can't live without them. But here's the truth: this isn't love—it's manipulation.I'll share real-life examples from survivors I've worked with in my counselling practice, detailing how they broke free from this toxic dynamic. I'll also give practical advice on recognising these patterns, setting boundaries, and healing from the emotional damage caused by narcissistic abuse.If you've ever felt controlled, devalued, or emotionally drained in a sexual relationship, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your power and break free from the narcissist's grip.Don't forget to subscribe to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, and grab a copy of my best-selling book "Fake Love" for more insights on healing from narcissistic abuse.

3 Tactics Covert Narcissists Use to Isolate YouHave you ever felt your world slowly closing in, leaving you disconnected from friends, family, and even yourself? That's no accident—it's a calculated move by a covert narcissist. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I'm exposing three manipulative tactics covert narcissists use to isolate their victims. Unlike overt narcissists, who are obvious in their control, covert narcissists operate in the shadows, subtly pulling the strings to keep you emotionally, mentally, and even physically dependent.If this resonates, you're not alone. Recognising narcissistic isolation is the first step to breaking free. I'll share real-life cases from my counselling practice and practical strategies to help you reclaim your independence, including:Subtle Smear Campaigns – They plant doubts in your loved ones' minds, making you seem unstable or untrustworthy.Guilt and Obligation Traps – They use emotional blackmail to make you feel responsible for their well-being, discouraging outside connections.Control Through Crisis – They create constant chaos, making you too drained to maintain relationships beyond them.
Unmasking the Narcissistic Family Dynamic: Control, Manipulation, and Emotional AbuseGrowing up in a family should feel safe and supportive—but what happens when narcissism poisons the dynamic? In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we're uncovering the truth about the narcissistic family system, where control, manipulation, and emotional neglect take centre stage. If you've ever felt like the black sheep of your own family, constantly walking on eggshells, or questioning your own reality, this episode is for you.If you grew up in a family where love felt conditional, where you were constantly made to feel “not good enough,” or where speaking up led to punishment, you are not alone. This episode will validate your experience and help you reclaim your power.Tune in now to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys and don't forget to subscribe for more deep dives into narcissistic abuse, trauma recovery, and breaking free from toxic relationships.

Flying Monkeys Manipulate you on Behalf of the Narcissist: How do they do it?If you've ever escaped a narcissist, you've likely faced another terrifying reality—their flying monkeys. These enablers, whether knowingly or unknowingly, act as the narcissist's messengers, spies, and attackers, working behind the scenes to manipulate, pressure, and control you. But why do they do it? And how can you protect yourself from their toxic influence?In this episode of Fake Love & Flying Monkeys, I'm breaking down the five most common tactics flying monkeys use to manipulate you for the narcissist. From guilt-tripping and emotional blackmail to smear campaigns and outright intimidation, these tactics are designed to keep you trapped in the narcissist's web of control. I'll also be sharing real-life examples from my counselling practice, helping you recognise these toxic behaviours and, most importantly, learn how to shut them down.Expect to hear: ✅ Why flying monkeys get involved – Are they victims too, or just as toxic as the narcissist? ✅ The guilt-trip trap – How flying monkeys make you feel responsible for the narcissist's pain. ✅ Smear campaigns and reputation sabotage – How they destroy your credibility to keep you isolated. ✅ The “forgiveness” pressure tactic – Why they push you to reconcile, even when it's unsafe. ✅ How to set boundaries and protect yourself – Practical strategies to cut off toxic flying monkeys for good.If you've ever been pressured to “just move on” or felt the sting of betrayal from people you once trusted, this episode will give you the clarity and validation you need. Flying monkeys might think they're helping, but in reality, they're doing the narcissist's dirty work—and it's time to take your power back.
Are You Trauma Bonded or Codependent with the Narcissist?Have you ever found yourself stuck in a toxic relationship, unable to leave no matter how much pain it causes? You might be wondering—am I trauma bonded, or is this codependency? In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we're breaking down the difference between trauma bonding and codependency when dealing with a narcissist.Both can feel like an emotional trap, but they come from different places. I'll walk you through the signs of both, explain how narcissists exploit these dynamics, and help you figure out what's really keeping you in the relationship. If you've ever questioned why you stay despite the pain, this episode will give you the clarity you need.Let's untangle the emotional chains and get to the truth—because understanding what's happening is the first step toward reclaiming your power.
5 Mind Games of Covert NarcissistsCovert narcissists are masters of mind games, operating behind a mask of charm, vulnerability, or even self-pity. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I'm diving deep into five of the most insidious mind games covert narcissists play—because once you recognize them, you can take your power back.Unlike overt narcissists, who are loud and in-your-face, covert narcissists manipulate in much more subtle and sneaky ways. They gaslight, guilt-trip, and emotionally drain you without ever raising their voice. One minute, they seem like the perfect partner, friend, or colleague, and the next, you're questioning your own reality. Sound familiar?If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or like you're constantly walking on eggshells, this episode is for you. Understanding these mind games is the first step to breaking free from their emotional control.To book a zoom counselling session with me please visit my website below

Going No Contact with Narcissists vs Grey Rock: Which Strategy is Right for You?Narcissistic Abuse survivors often hear the advice to go No Contact or use the Grey Rock method. But which one is right for you? In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I break down both strategies, explaining when and how to use them effectively.Going No Contact means cutting the narcissist out of your life completely—no texts, no calls, no social media, nothing. It's often the best way to heal, but let's be honest, it's not always possible. Maybe you share kids, work together, or have family ties that make it complicated. That's where Grey Rock comes in. This method helps you disengage emotionally, making yourself as boring and unresponsive as possible to avoid feeding their drama.I'll walk you through real-life examples from my counseling practice, sharing how survivors have used these strategies in different situations—whether it's co-parenting with a toxic ex, dealing with a manipulative boss, or managing a narcissistic parent. You'll also learn the biggest mistakes to avoid and how to handle setbacks when the narcissist tries to pull you back in.By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of which approach suits your situation best and feel more confident setting boundaries that protect your peace.

Narcissistic Abuse and the Red Flags you Missed.Have you ever looked back on a toxic relationship and wondered, How did I not see this coming? You're not alone. Narcissists are masters of manipulation, and their conditioning keeps you second-guessing yourself at every turn. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we're unpacking why you missed the red flags—and why it's not your fault.Narcissists don't just walk into your life and show their true colours. They carefully groom you through love-bombing, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. Over time, they condition you to accept their behaviour, making it harder to recognise the abuse. They twist reality, making you doubt your instincts, and by the time you start seeing the truth, you're already deeply enmeshed. We'll break down how this conditioning works, why smart and self-aware people still fall for it, and how you can start recognising these patterns before they take hold. Whether you're recovering from narcissistic abuse or trying to spot toxic behaviours early, this episode will give you the validation and insight you need.If you found this episode informative, I would absolutely love it if you could rate this podcast, leave a review, and please share, Share, SHARE!

The Narcissistic Mother Ruins Your Adult Relationships.If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, you probably already know that childhood wasn't exactly warm, supportive, or predictable.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Find yourself drawn to toxic partners? Fear abandonment or avoid intimacy altogether? Yes, these patterns often have deep roots in childhood conditioning.I'll be breaking down real-life examples from my counselling practice, sharing the struggles survivors face, and—most importantly—how to start breaking free from these unhealthy cycles.

5 Reasons Narcissists NEVER Give You Closure. Have you ever been stuck waiting for the narcissist to give you the closure you need?

It's exhausting, isn't it?In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we're diving into 5 reasons why narcissists just won't give you closure. Spoiler alert: it's not about you—it's about keeping you stuck in their toxic web. I'll break down the five main reasons they withhold that resolution and share real-life examples from my counselling practice to show just how calculated their behaviour can be.If you're stuck wondering why the narcissist won't just let you move on, this episode will help you see the bigger picture. More importantly, I'll give you tips to take back your power and find your own closure—because you deserve peace, and you'll never get it from them.If you would like to book a zoom counselling session with me please visit my website below
We've already talked about narcissistic abusers in a previous episode of Do You Really Know? Let's refresh your memory: narcissistic abusers, or NAs for short, are people with manipulative tendencies, who inflict a range of toxic behaviours on their target and position themselves as victims. Now NA-victim relationships don't always exist solely between two individuals. There can be one or more additional figures in this dynamic – that of the accomplice. And the accomplices of NAs are actually known as Flying Monkeys. Where does this term come from? How do NAs choose their flying monkeys? What strategies can you use to handle flying monkeys effectively? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
