Future-Faking, Breadcrumbing, Flying Monkeys — A Survivor Decodes Every Narcissist Tactic

You knew something was wrong. You just did not have the words for it. Future-faking. Breadcrumbing. Triangulation. Flying monkeys. Cognitive dissonance so severe you started questioning your own memory. These are not personality quirks — they are a playbook, and Jodi Pavlock has spent years studying every move in it after living through nine years inside one. What she shares about how each tactic works psychologically, why trauma bonding makes leaving feel physically impossible even when you intellectually know you should go, and how naming what happened to you is the first step toward trusting your own reality again will give you the most complete and vocabulary-rich narcissistic abuse education you have encountered. You were not confused. You were deliberately disoriented. This episode gives you the map back to yourself. You’ll learn: 🔁 How intermittent reinforcement forges trauma bonds, and how to break free. 🧠 Cognitive dissonance: the mind-warp that keeps you stuck and self-doubting. ❤️‍🩹 Emotional immaturity vs. narcissism (empathy is the difference-maker). 🔎 Future faking, mirroring, silent treatments; spot covert control tactics fast. 🚧 Why not forgiving can be a healthy boundary (and that’s okay).
