Understanding the Narcissist's Manipulation: DARVO
🌿 Let's talk about DARVO - a manipulation tactic narcissists use to avoid accountability. It's when they deny the abuse, attack you, and then reverse the roles, making themselves the victim. It's disorienting and frustrating, but recognizing it is key to protecting yourself. 🚩
When you spot DARVO, it's a sign to disengage and prioritize your well-being. Don't fall into the trap of defending yourself or apologizing for setting boundaries. Remember, their behavior reflects on them, not you. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve respect. 💖
Take a deep breath, focus on self-care, and reach out for support if needed. You're not alone in this, and you don't have to justify your experiences. 🌈
