YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

With the flying monkey, the narcissist creates an attenuated cult-like shared fantasy.

The narcissist is the flying monkey’s role model. But the flying monkey also serves as savior-rescuer and maternal protective figure.

Narcissist devalues, discards, and punishes vicariously, by proxy, through the agency of the flying monkey, the narcissist’s long arm, an extension of his omnipotence. Flying monkeys, therefore, buttress the narcissist’s grandiosity.

The flying monkey experiences the shared fantasy the way an intimate partner does: feel chosen, unique, omnipotent, in the know, thrilled/excited/aroused, useful (needed), legitimized.
