What is DARVO?
DARVO is an acronym that stands for DENY, ATTACK and REVERSE VICTIM and OFFENDER. DARVO is a 3-step manipulation technique that describes how individuals avoid accountability for their actions, when confronted with their inappropriate actions. DARVO has both gaslighting and blame-shifting. The perpetrator will deny the facts, attack the accuser, and then flip the situation to make themselves look like the victim, and paint the victim as the instigator.
What is Somatic Experiencing®?
Unlike other trauma healing modalities, Somatic Experiencing® focuses on the sensations you are experiencing, not the story or event you may replay or retell over and over again in traditional talk therapy.
Somatic Experiencing® takes you out of your head and into your body, reconnecting you to your body’s innate wisdom. SE helps you heal your nervous system, change deeply ingrained survival patterns that are keeping you stuck and resolve symptoms of stress, shock and trauma that are trapped in your body and nervous system.
