DARVO is an insidious tactic narcissists use to flip the script and play the victim. DARVO, which stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender, is a manipulative strategy that leaves victims feeling confused, powerless, and silenced. But what exactly is DARVO, and how can you spot it in real-time?

In this Episode, we unpack:

The tell-tale signs of DARVO in action

Why narcissists rely on playing the victim to manipulate and control such as....
Romantic Relationships. You confront a narcissistic partner about their infidelity. Instead of addressing the betrayal, they lash out, accusing you of being overly controlling or untrusting. Suddenly, the conversation shifts from their wrongdoing to your supposed flaws. Now, instead of holding them accountable, you’re defending yourself against baseless accusations. Or....

After a breakup, a narcissist may launch a smear campaign, portraying you as the abusive one. They might share selective “evidence” with mutual friends, showing their tears and claiming emotional devastation. Meanwhile, they conveniently leave out their toxic behaviours.
