Listen Later

"Uncover the manipulative tactics flying monkeys use to control, deceive, and isolate you on behalf of the narcissist. Learn how to protect yourself from their toxic influence."

In this episode of Fake Love & Flying Monkeys, we dive into the world of flying monkeys—the enablers who work in the shadows for the narcissist. Whether they’re doing it consciously or not, these individuals become manipulative pawns, assisting the narcissist in their mission to maintain control over their victims. But why do they get involved, and how can you defend yourself against their toxic influence?

In this episode, I’ll break down five common tactics flying monkeys use to manipulate, intimidate, and isolate you on the narcissist’s behalf, including:

Guilt-tripping and emotional blackmail – How flying monkeys make you feel responsible for the narcissist’s suffering.

Smear campaigns and reputation sabotage – The covert ways they destroy your credibility to keep you isolated.

Pressure to forgive – Why flying monkeys push you to reconcile, even when it’s unsafe.

Setting boundaries and protecting yourself – Practical strategies to cut off toxic flying monkeys for good.

Key insights in this episode include:

Why flying monkeys get involved – Are they victims too, or are they as toxic as the narcissist?

How to stop manipulation – Learn strategies to take back control and protect your emotional well-being.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to “move on” or betrayed by people you once trusted, this episode will validate your experience and provide practical steps for reclaiming your life. Flying monkeys might think they’re helping, but in reality, they’re doing the narcissist’s dirty work.
