S3 EP4: DARVO & Conspiracy: It Didn’t Feel Right Because It Wasn’t
In this episode, Mya and Dakota unpack DARVO — the manipulation tactic of deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender — and how it shows up in relationships, systems, and the media. They talk about why naming these patterns matters, how DARVO impacts survivors’ mental health, and why it can be so disorienting to experience. In honor of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, this conversation is about education, prevention, and trusting yourself when something doesn’t feel right!
*Trigger & Conspiracy Warning:* Mya and Dakota use a highly documented and profiled case, which contains conspiracy theories, as it is still an unsolved case, to show an example of places to look for the use of DARVO. They explore the scary possibilities of what large figures hide from the public and hope to find justice in the narratives for all survivors.
