YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Monkeybranching starts in the devaluation phase

Is it possible to maintain multiple shared fantasies simultaneously?

It is, but not of precisely the same nature (for example: romantic and sexual and friendship and admiration of a role model).

Meta-fantasy (form of meta-cognition): fantasizing about an alternative, substitute fantasy
