How It Works

DARVO is a three-step manipulation pattern: Deny the behavior, Attack the person who raised the concern, then Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender. It happens so fast you don't realize the flip until you're already apologizing. Our scanner identifies each step.

How dare you bring this up after what you put me through.

Paste what they said after you raised your concern. See if DARVO is operating.
