7: DARVO, Narcissistic Emotional Abuse

DARVO is a commonly used tactic in society today, where people often try to deny taking accountability. However, this tactic is a common occurrence for a Cluster B Personality Disordered individual, such as a Narcissist. 

DARVO stands for:

D-Deny

A-Attack

then the RVO

Reverse the victim and offender

DARVO is another crazy-making tactic of the narcissist. You bring up a valid concern in a vulnerable manner seeking to communicate effectively, then your experience is dismissed, then attacked. And you, the innocent party, often end up apologizing and placating as the narcissist suddenly becomes the victim and you are the bad guy.

How can this be handled more effectively in everyday life, but especially with a narcissistic? This episode outlines some tactics that might be used when dealing with DARVO both in everyday life, as well as with the narcissist.
