Welcome back to Joy Recovery Radio! In this episode, we tackle the concept of DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim, and Offender), a deeply damaging form of psychological abuse common in betrayal and deception scenarios. We'll define DARVO, demonstrate how it appears in real conversations, and distinguish between normal defensiveness and abusive DARVO role reversal. This episode aims to raise awareness and provide tools for both betrayed partners and those who might be using DARVO unconsciously. Join us for part one of this two-part series and learn the importance of ending deception, restoring reality, and supporting autonomous, informed choices.
