Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

A Toxic relationship and Fake love looks real—until it destroys you.

Welcome to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, the podcast that exposes the hidden dynamics of toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, and emotional manipulation. Hosted by Nova Gibson, leading trauma-informed counsellor and Director of Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling, this podcast is your guide to breaking free from the confusion, fear, and self-doubt that come with being entangled with a narcissist.

In every episode, Nova draws from years of experience working with survivors to explore the complex, often covert tactics used in emotionally abusive relationships—from gaslighting, triangulation, and the silent treatment to smear campaigns and intermittent reinforcement.

Whether you're struggling with a narcissistic partner, parent, boss, or friend, Fake Love and Flying Monkeys gives you the tools and knowledge to understand the abuse, trust your instincts, and reclaim your power—even if the narcissist has never been formally diagnosed.

This is more than a podcast—it’s a lifeline.

Clear explanations of narcissistic behaviour patterns

Practical strategies for setting boundaries and detaching

Real talk about the emotional rollercoaster of trauma bonding

Validation, clarity, and a path toward healing from narcissistic abuse
