DARVO, or Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender, is an acronym for how toxic people will often manipulate others if they are confronted about an issue or wrongdoing. If you've ever been in this situation, you may confront an abuser, manipulator, or narcissist about their behavior, and somehow by the end of the conversation, you're the one apologizing to them. This tactic is tricky and deceitful. By learning about DARVO and how it works, you can empower and protect yourself if someone uses this gaslighting technique on you. This talk discusses who is most likely to use DARVO and why, who it targeted and why, how to recognize DARVO, circumstances when DARVO is most used, and impacts of DARVO on the victim and on groups. Then we discuss how to identify, respond to, and protect yourself from this tactic so you can take your power back and live the life God intended for you.
