Fake Love and Flying Monkeys
Narcissism, or narcissistic personality disorder, causes the narcissist to engage in what is known as narcissistic abuse. This type of abuse encompasses emotional abuse, verbal abuse, coercive control and psychological abuse, which are covert forms of domestic violence that make the victim feel crazy. It impacts the mental health of every victim. It can also involve physical abuse. If you have a narcissist in your life then you also have their flying monkeys!
In this podcast, leading expert and specialist trauma-informed counsellor Nova Gibson, offers concise, empowering advice on navigating, escaping, and healing from the narcissist, and their flying monkey's insidious forms of domestic abuse.
Nova’s expertise in identifying behaviours of narcissistic abusers, such as coercive control, gaslighting, and trauma bonding, is invaluable for those in toxic relationships.
Whether the covert narcissist, or overt narcissist is an intimate partner engaging in intimate partner violence, a friend, parent, or colleague, the life-changing insights from Nova and her guests will support your healing journey back to self care and self love, and to address the inevitable ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder).
Nova is director, founder and principle counselor at Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling Service. She is also the best-selling author of the globally acclaimed 'Fake Love - Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse'. HarperCollins.
Fake Love and Flying Monkeys
No Contact with a Narcissist means cutting ties with their Family too.
No Contact with a Narcissist means cutting ties with their Family too.
"No contact" with a narcissist includes distancing yourself from their family and friends as well. Cutting ties with a narcissistic partner, parent or friend is difficult enough, but then you have to think of those shared connections—their family members, mutual friends, and even those who may act as "flying monkeys" to gather information or sway your decisions.
In this episode i unpack why it’s essential to set boundaries not only with the narcissist but also with anyone in their circle who might enable their behaviour. I discuss the layers of manipulation that can exist within family networks, why some family members continue to defend or excuse the narcissist, and how they can become unwitting (or sometimes willing) participants in the narcissist's attempts to keep control of your mind.
This episode provides crucial insights for anyone struggling with the decision to go no contact. Learn how to protect your peace, rebuild your life on your own terms, and take steps to heal without interference from those who may still be loyal to the narcissist.
