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!
