Listen Later

Have you ever felt bewildered by the shifting dynamics in a relationship, where suddenly you're the one being blamed? 
This latest episode is a stark revelation of the DARVO tactic—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender—used by abusers to evade responsibility and attack your reality.
We uncover the chilling strategies abusers use to distort reality, assaulting their victim's character to protect their own fragile self-worth. 
This conversation is a must-hear, offering insights into the manipulative playbook that underpins abusive relationships.

Navigating the treacherous waters of psychological manipulation can leave victims disoriented and isolated.  In this episode, we expose how abusers not only deny their victims' experiences but launch a counteroffensive aimed at reversing roles, painting themselves as the aggrieved party.   The impact on victims' credibility and support systems can be devastating.  This episode peels back the layers of these abusive dynamics, providing clarity and validation for anyone who has faced such bewildering and harmful treatment.  Join me, Danielle Black, to unearth the unsettling truths of DARVO and bolster your understanding of these complex interpersonal battles.
