This pervasive question arises because victims of narcissistic abuse are frequently manipulated into feeling like the abuser through tactics like Reactive Abuse and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). This is the question we answer in this life-changing episode.

In this episode, we delve into this crucial question that plagues survivors of narcissistic abuse and domestic violence, providing comprehensive answers.

We explore:

1. What is Reactive Abuse? Understand how victims are provoked into reacting, which is then used against them.
2. What is DARVO? Explore the tactic where offenders deny the abuse, attack the victim's credibility, and reverse the roles to portray themselves as victims.
3. How does a narcissist use Reactive Abuse and DARVO to manipulate victims into believing they're the abuser? Uncover the psychological tactics used to distort reality and victim-blame.
4. How can we distinguish between the true abuser and the victim when both parties exhibit toxic behaviors? Examine the complexities of identifying the dynamics in abusive relationships.
5. How do narcissists manipulate others into believing they are the victim? Explore the strategies used to garner sympathy and support while concealing their abusive behaviors.
6. Do narcissists ever question if they themselves are narcissistic? Discuss whether narcissists introspect on their behavior and self-image.
7. How can we educate others about DARVO and Reactive Abuse to prevent unjust restraining orders against victims? Highlight strategies for raising awareness to support true victims and prevent further harm.
