DARVO: When the Abuser Claims to be the Victim
Join MEND founder Annette Oltmans as she delves into the complex dynamics of DARVO—an abusive tactic where the perpetrator denies responsibility, attacks the victim, and reverses roles to cast themselves as the victim. This workshop will illuminate how DARVO manipulates and distorts reality, making it challenging to address and resolve conflicts effectively. Understanding DARVO is important for recognizing manipulation and protecting your emotional well-being.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- What DARVO is, and how it allows abusers to avoid accountability while shifting blame onto you.
- How common tactics like blame-shifting and catastrophizing are used to undermine your perspective and manipulate the situation.
- Signs that DARVO is being used against you, and the physical and emotional responses it can trigger.
- Effective strategies for responding to DARVO, including ways to maintain your sense of self and navigate conversations with manipulators.
Don’t miss this insightful workshop that will enhance your understanding of manipulative tactics and empower you to reclaim your narrative.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING…
I listened to Annette speak about covert abuse…and hung on every word that she spoke. To have someone put into words exactly what I am experiences is worth everything. I may listen to it over and over to remind myself (when things are kicked under the rug repeatedly) what I am really enduring. I am coming out of the fog. It has taken much time. . . . Thank you, Annette for helping other women! God bless you.”
