Über diesen Titel

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.
You’ll get:

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

If you've ever felt trapped in a relationship that chips away at your self-worth, this podcast will help you name it, face it, and finally break free.

You’re not alone, and you’re not crazy. You’re in the fog of narcissistic abuse—and Nova is here to help guide you out.

  • Why You Keep Loving the Wrong People
    Jan 14 2026

    Why do smart, empathic people keep ending up in emotionally painful relationships?
    In this first episode of 2026, I unpack why loving the wrong people isn’t a flaw — it’s conditioning.

    I speak candidly about narcissistic relationships, emotional control, trauma bonding, and why hope keeps people stuck long after clarity arrives. This episode is for anyone who has loved deeply, doubted themselves, and wondered how they lost their sense of self along the way.

  • When Narcissistic Abuse and Coercive Control Turn Dangerous
    Sep 8 2025

    Trigger warning: Abuse doesn’t always start with obvious violence — it often begins with intimidation, manipulation, and control. The slammed fist into the wall beside your head, a plate hurled that just misses, your car blocked in so you can’t leave, or the threat of suicide if you try to walk away. These are deliberate tactics designed to dominate, silence, and keep you trapped in fear.

    (For 1 on 1 online counselling in your own toxic relationship/narcissistic abuse recovery please visit my website at
    https://brighteroutlookcounselling.com.au/online-counselling-services/ )

    Many victims minimise these behaviours, telling themselves “at least they didn’t hit me.” But coercive control is abuse, and when it escalates, the danger becomes very real.

    This episode is validating, emotional, and at times confronting. It sheds light on the insidious ways narcissists create dominance and control through fear — and what it feels like to live under that constant threat.

    If you’ve ever questioned whether what you’re experiencing “counts” as abuse, I want you to know this: coercive control is abuse, and it can become dangerous. Your story matters, and your safety matters.

  • The Narcissist’s Breaking Point: When You’re Gone for Good
    Sep 4 2025

    For a narcissist, the most terrifying moment isn’t when you argue, fight, or even walk out the door. Their real breaking point comes when they finally realise you are never coming back.

    (For 1 on 1 online counselling in your own toxic relationship/narcissistic abuse recovery please visit my website at
    https://brighteroutlookcounselling.com.au/online-counselling-services/ )

    In this episode of Fake Love and Flying I explore the collapse of the narcissist’s carefully constructed world when they lose control over you. What does that breaking point actually look like from their side?

    I unpack:

    ✅️How narcissists sense when they’ve truly lost their grip

    ✅️Why love-bombing, begging, and false promises intensify when you won’t budge

    ✅️The terrifying rage and character assassinations that surface when charm fails

    ✅️The emptiness and collapse they face when their supply is permanently cut off

    If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to leave, or what happens when you finally stand your ground, this episode is for you!
