By the time you realise what’s happening, you’re no longer you.

In this eye-opening episode I dive deep into how covert narcissists slowly chip away at, and dismantle your personality, piece by piece.

We’re talking about the subtle manipulation tactics that don’t leave bruises but completely rewrite who you are:

Why covert narcissists target your self-esteem and independence

How they use gaslighting, guilt, and fake concern to erode your confidence

What it feels like when your values, beliefs, and even your sense of humour no longer feel like your own

How survivors often don’t recognise themselves anymore

“You’re not ‘too sensitive’—you’re being conditioned to question your reality.”

Whether the narcissist is a partner, parent, colleague, or friend, the long-term psychological effects of narcissistic abuse are real—and they’re devastating. This episode explores how your core identity is gradually overwritten by a covert narcissist’s control.

“Their goal isn’t to love you—it’s to control who you become.”

If you’ve ever felt like a shell of your former self, or like your personality has been “trained out” of you, this episode will help you make sense of the confusion, reclaim your identity, and start the healing process.

What if everything you thought you knew about narcissists was just the tip of the iceberg?

In this eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I’m revealing 10 of the darkest, most tightly kept secrets narcissists don’t want you to uncover—because once you know, their power starts to crumble.

"A narcissist’s greatest fear is exposure. The moment you see through their mask, the game changes."

These are the secrets they use to:

Manipulate your perception of reality

Keep you hooked through cycles of idealisation and devaluation

Pretend to be the victim while destroying your reputation

And maintain control long after you’ve walked away

Whether you're dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, co-worker, or friend, this episode will equip you with the insights you need to see their behaviour for what it really is.

"They don’t want you to heal. They want you to doubt yourself forever."

Expect to hear the truth behind:

Why they seem so confident (but are actually deeply insecure)

How they mirror you to win your trust

The real reason they never take responsibility

Why their charm is a calculated act

And how their ‘love’ is just another form of control

"The moment you stop playing their game, they panic."

It’s time to take your power back. The more you understand these dark narcissist secrets, the less influence they’ll have over your mind, emotions, and future.
