If You Always End Up Being the Villain in Your Marriage, You Need to Know About DARVO

Episode 124: Ever enter a conversation trying to address something that hurt you, only to walk away 20 minutes later feeling like you’re the one who messed up? 🤯 If you constantly find yourself apologizing for things your partner did, you aren't crazy - you might be experiencing DARVO.In this episode, I’m digging deep into DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) the ultimate playbook used by manipulators, narcissists, and emotionally immature partners to dodge accountability and flip the script on you.Together, we’ll break down:🧠 What DARVO stands for and why it completely untethers your reality.💔 4 real-life stories illustrating how DARVO shows up in everyday conflicts, sexual coercion, avoiding responsibility during a crisis, and emotional punishment.🛡️ Why empathetic women are so vulnerable to this tactic (and how your best qualities get weaponized against you).🚪 How to spot the script so you can step out of the "crazy room," stop defending yourself, and reclaim your power and peace.Plus, before we jump into the topic, I’m sharing a very special request from my heart.
