Two Strategies That Helped Me Deal with the DARVO Method

These simple tips helped make arguments with my ex shorter, less confrontational, and less emotionally hurtful. I hope they help you, too.

Last week, I wrote a post about two strategies I learned toward the end of my marriage that really helped when I found myself in an argument with my ex-husband. The DARVO method was a big part of our conflicts, making confrontations frustrating, hurtful, and confusing.

Last week’s post was for subscribers only, since it included some very personal details, but I want to be sure everyone can see what helped me better navigate these conflicts, so I made a video about it. These strategies can help not only in abusive relationships, but also if you’re dealing with a narcissist or any toxic or manipulative person. Feel free to share it with anyone you think could use the information. I’ll have another post ready later this week, answering a few questions I’ve gotten from readers.
